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