      Strangely, a lot of people recently:

      Maybe a successful TV show has/had a character named Buckley? All I can think of is Andy Buckley (The guy that played David Wallace in The Office). It tracks with the time-frame the name became popular, but it’s probably unlikely.

      I mean, as cool as he was in that show, I’m not sure he’s an “I’m going to name my child after that guy!” kind of cool.

      Aside from him, there’s a character named “Evan Buckley” who was in a show called 9-1-1. But that aired around 2018, which is too recent to have inspired people to name their crotch gremlins after.

      Then there is Jeff Buckley (Hallelujah) who was a musician that passed away in 1997. Maybe the uptick is a result of people who were fans?

      EDIT: Vyvanse kicked in and when on a detail-oriented binge of edits.
