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