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