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