The Rudolph test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Hinda's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Rudolph climbed just as high around 1928, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Rudolph's path sketches the road Hinda is walking now.
