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