Sound-alike ranking

1910 Girl names by pronunciation

Similar-sounding spellings are grouped together and ranked by their combined recorded births.

How the distortion index works

The index is the share of the sound-alike group's births recorded under alternative spellings. A score near 0 means the primary spelling dominates; a score near 1 means variants make up most of the group.

Low: 0.00–0.29
Medium: 0.30–0.69
High: 0.70–1.00

How similar pronunciations are grouped

FitBabyNames compares phonetic representations and common spelling variants, then combines recorded births for names that sound alike. Grouping is an analytical aid and may not match every speaker or accent.
