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