Same era, but close to Jordan
These names follow Jordan's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Jordan. 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 Jordan's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Jordan's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Jordan or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Jordan itself are excluded.
