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