Effie and Fallon over time
Effie and Fallon appear together in 1 published list, across 30 years of shared records. Effie held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Fallon in 0.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Effie reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Fallon in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
