What happens to a name after it peaks
The Matson test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Ajit's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Matson climbed just as high around 1955, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Matson's path sketches the road Ajit is walking now.
