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