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