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