摘要：I examine trends in the popularity of first names around the years ofUSA presidential elections, showing that the names 'Hillary' and'Hilary' decreased abruptly by more than 90% in popularity followingthe 1992 election of Hillary Clinton's husband Bill.I show that thisoutcome is unique to the 1992 election, and argue that it may evidencea dislike for Hillary Clinton's public image among both Democraticand Republican voters, which may have eventually contributed toHillary Clinton's losing the 2016 presidential election.
