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