The Jenell test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Evaluna's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Jenell climbed just as high around 1938, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Jenell's path sketches the road Evaluna is walking now.
Evaluna is climbing fast right now. Steep climbs tend to come with steep descents — the quicker a name arrives, the more firmly it belongs to its moment.
