How alternate spellings affect the 2025 SSA name rankings for girls
And to preface, I do get that not all of these names would be pronounced exactly the same by everyone, but the ones that I grouped together, I felt that they were similar enough to be considered that way! Of course, I definitely didn't get all of the names that fall into this type of category, but these are the main ones that I found at the time.
