Thanks to April for finding this juicy tidbit:

For any Patriots out there expecting a little one and seeking the appropriate name, we should inform you that "Hillary" has taken a plunge in popularity. Based on information from the Social Security Administration, after peaking in 1992 at number 131 among the top 1,000 girls' names, the name "Hillary" had dropped out of the top 1,000 by 2002 and 2003. It stood at 982 in 2006. Indeed, the name fell out of favor even faster than Ebenezer (Scrooge) and Adolf (Hitler), both of which took more than 30 years after their unfortunate associations to lose their place among the top 1,000. Hillary, though, accomplished this feat in a mere decade. She also holds the title for fastest drop in a single year—295 places. In fact, around our humble shop, we're tired of hearing her name at all and have opted instead for the Harry Potter name-avoidance technique: "She Who Shall Not Be Named."
