Same era, but close to Jenny
These names follow Jenny's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Jenny. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Jenny's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Jenny's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Jenny or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Jenny itself are excluded.
