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