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