Palin has suddenly become a hot new surname-name given usually to girls.  The inspiration can only be former Alaska governor Sarah, though the name Palin is her husband's -- her original surname is Heath.  Palin herself is no stranger to the adventurous baby name, as the mother of daughters Bristol, Piper, and Willow, and sons Track and Trig.
