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