Congratulations, Lisa Madigan

2008_3_11.baby.jpgIllinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and her husband Pat Byrnes welcomed a baby girl this morning. Lucy Lillian Madigan Byrnes weighed in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces. Lucy joins older sister Rebecca, 3.

Lucy was the 152nd most popular girl's name in the US in 2006, but it's on the upswing after bottoming out at 589th in 1978.

The most popular name for baby girls in Illinois is Emily (at least it was in 2005, the last year for which stats are available, hmph) and has been since 1997. Before that, Jessica held the number-one spot in 1986, '88 and '90-96 (Ashley won in '87 and '89). And from 1980-85, Jennifer was queen. [Illinois Dept of Public Health, Baby Name Wizard]

o.k Lisa, we love you and the breeders will never question you, so please stop with the babies and get back to running for Governor!

Congratulations, Pat, your junk works and you're not shooting blanks. You should also be proud of the fact that you put it in the right hole.

Hooray for making babies!

I hate having the most one of the top five all-time most popular names.

Yech, I am too good to share my name with the likes of every other girl in school.

Soooo is Pat still living in New York?

Well ... she's not Client 10.

props to the baby name wizard. i love that thing, if only to find out when old people names were wildly popular. (kinda sad when you think about it.)

As per Madigan family tradition, Democratic committeemen are now being strongarmed to support little Lucy for elected office as of her 18th birthday.

Spot on, Ward. Royalty never sleeps.

Le Spook is more pro adoption, but I had a kid, Wizard he would be! Wizard, I love it. Perhaps my next pup will be crowned "Wizard"

shes trying hard to kill thoses lesbo rumors

But in spite of every thing, I still think she would make a better Gov, then O'Bama, but not as good as Pat Quinn
