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