Re: Which event boosted the name Branch after 2010?

Good idea, but the name was already on the rise in 2014 and 2015 while the films and TV series came out in mid-2016. Was there enough marketing before the release of the films to explain this, or was there another factor?

There was a deputy sheriff character named Branch Connally (played by actor Bailey Chase) on the modern Western mystery series "Longmire", based on a series of mystery novels by Craig Johnson. This show premiered on June 3, 2012, so there's a good chance it had something to do with this.

That's the one that came to my mind. It wouldn't surprise me if it inspired the Trolls character name.
