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