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