     It's a bit different for each ethnic group - Sarah Palin's group 
seems to favor naming girls after cities and Anglo-Saxon surnames 
(Madison, Addison, Ashley, Taylor, Hailey).  But according to the Social 
Security Administration, "Bristol" as a girl's name jumped from being 
ranked greater than 1000 to being ranked - oops! - 666 in the year since 
Palin became known nationwide.
