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