The Maddox Case: how this name became very popular in the US

In March 2002, the world learned that Angelina had adopted Rath Vibol and she registered him with the United States Social Security as Maddox Jolie. Until then, it was a name that was barely used in this country - 150 babies were named Maddox between 1987 and 2001. In a span of fifteen years (2002-2016) more than 26,000 babies were registered under that name.
