Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

The Karalee test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Nohemi's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Karalee climbed just as high around 1943, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Karalee's path sketches the road Nohemi is walking now.
