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