Close, but counted apart

These sound a little different to the speech engine, so each is counted on its own.

How spellings are grouped: every name in the SSA’s records was read aloud by espeak, an open-source speech engine, and spellings with the same reading (ignoring stress and vowel length) are counted together. It reads the letters, not what parents meant, so some calls will be off.
