Unofficially titled, “Why the GOP stands a chance next year, no matter how bad things get.”
I checked “Ronald” and “George” as a control group dating back 35 years or so. No significant change.

What’s in a name? That which we call a liberal by any other name would smell as sour.

Where’s the graph for Monica?

Crummy sakes, Ben Smith can’t read a graph either.

Most of the top 10 boys names are bibilical, Old Testamanent even. I recognize only Hannah from the girls list. Abigail is too, but pretty obscure.

What about the name ‘Allah’?
erik on November 3, 2007 at 1:29 PM
No kidding, what a freefall. Ranked 79th in 1997 before falling every single year after to be ranked 250 in 2006.

Can anybody tell me why Jacob has been the number 1 male name since 1999?

lorien1973 –
Can you imagine being saddled with those names? There wasn’t one normal name on that list. It speaks volumes as to the mentality of the Hollyweird type.

Hillary? Ummm… rhymes with bacillary:
…
How twisted the mind of one Hillary
Whose brain is a seething bacillary
For the breeding of bugs,
Which resist all known drugs,
To make toxic rhetorical artillery.
…
King Kong, that colossal hairy gorilla,
Once battled the mighty pol Hilla,.
The gorilla fought well,
But fell prey to the smell
From the pol’s uber-partisan axilla.

Seriously though, what are those celebrities smoking when they name their kids? sheesh…
“Honey, I really think that Poet is a great name.”
“No, dear. I prefer Oriole Nebula.”
“Well, let’s compromise and go with Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf.”

“Osama is not in the top 1000 male names for any year of birth in the last 15 years. Please enter another name.”

My Sister is a Delivery Nurse and she said a soon to be Mother hadn’t picked out a name at the time of birth and she actually named her baby Placenta, after hearing it used during the delivery. True story.

There weren’t any data points for 2002 and 2003. Did Bill seal the results until 2012?

$10 he was stoned and eating a poppyseed muffin with honey on it when they named the poor poor child.
Sammy316 on November 3, 2007 at 5:06 PM
That. is. so. wrong.
pullingmyhairout on November 3, 2007 at 5:20 PM
Sounds like a name for a poodle
Aggie85 on November 3, 2007 at 5:55 PM
Likewise, I heard of one who named their child myconium, which they learned in birthing class. That’s the term for when a baby has a poop in utero. As in, the name for the poop.
Also know of a Lemonjello and orangejello, though not pronounced as they look. “le-MON-juh-low” and “o-RON-juh-low”
Also also know of a mother who saw this cool word on an article of clothing in the hospital and liked the sound of it: pajama, pronounced “PAY-juh-muh”

Even that tiny blip of a comeback in 2004 probably has more to do with Lizzie McGuire, than HRC.
Tanya on November 4, 2007 at 8:23 AM
“Placenta”
…better’n Eurethra.
… I guess

Growing up in Mississippi in the 60’s, I heard of a girl whose mother (father? What father?) named her daughter, “Saphyllis.” She had heard that word somewhere and thought it was pretty.
