"Hillary" - The name just keeps getting more unpopular

This site is pretty cool: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

You can enter a first name, and see how popular it was among new parents naming their children. It works off the Social Security ID database.

For example, the name "Karen" was #117 in 1991, and it has since fallen to #152 in 2002. The name "Madison" was #133 in 1991, and it is now #2.

The funny one is "Hillary." In 1991, it was #176, and in 1992, it actually went up to #136. But then in 1993, it fell to #261, and today, "Hillary" is #878. Whoops...
