With credit to @Vana, a Berry who created an original list of similar names, these names all relate to writing itself.

Writing-related names in the US Top 1000 include Devin, Kyrie, Legend, Lyric, and Teagan. Names connected to poetry and writing have been fashionable among celebrities in recent years. Among the choices used for starbabies are Canon, Epic, Hero, Ode, Poet, and Story.
