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