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