[Corpora-List] phrase as trademark

[Michael Rundell]

actually Bristol is one of the less weird names in the Palin household, 
which includes her sons Track and Trig, and grandson (s. of Bristol) Tripp. 
Bit of a phonesthemic pattern here? Blark!

     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.
