“Barack” is still soaring in popularity among baby names, according to the Social Security Administration. It jumped more than 10,000 spots since 2007.
In 2007, when President Barack Obama was in the early stages of his presidential run, “Barack” ranked 12,535, but in one year his name jumped 10,000 spots to 2,409 in popularity in 2008. And the SSA predicted that number will continue to rise: “Social Security’s sophisticated predictive models are forecasting an increase well into the top 1,000 for Barack for 2009.”
