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