Braxton entered the popularity ranks in 1985 and has been climbing steadily ever since.  It has gained from the all-powerful X-factor, and perhaps also from the reality TV show, <em>Braxton Family Values</em>, featuring singer Toni and her sisters Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar. Though it might sound new, there was a prominent Confederate Civil War general named Braxton Bragg.
