Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Jean's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Jean's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Jean or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Jean itself are excluded.
