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