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