Given the modest fluctuation, it’s unlikely Michelle, Sasha, or Malia Obama had much influence on naming decisions.
How boring, though, to be one of the zillions of little Emmas and Jacobs.
A friend of mine named her daughter Malia more than 4 years ago, before Obama burst onto the national scene. She just liked the sound of the name. And she and her husband are staunch Republicans.
Needless to say, she wants to punch people when they tease her that she named her daughter after Obamas kid.

Does Malia remind anyone of Maleficent, of Sleeping Beauty fame?
