Morgan and Naomi appear together in 3 published lists, across 81 years of shared records. Naomi held the stronger position in more years in 3 of them, Morgan in 0.
In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
Naomi reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 3 of those lists, and Morgan 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.
