Why has the number of babies named Hillary surged in the past few years?

It looks from this chart like it fell off dramatically while Clinton was First Lady. Maybe the increase is because of Hillary Duff?
And, perhaps, Hilary Swank as well?
The thing about Duff and Swank is that they were born towards the peak of the 1980s in that graph, right? 1975-1985? Are there more famous Hillarys to come?
Hillary almost single handedly killed off the naming of baby girls as her namesake.
Hillary is where she is not because of her "Hillary" name, but because she is a Clinton. I doubt there ever would have been a Senator Hillary Rodham of New York.
