472 peaches and 2 apples

The Australian reports on a survey carried out for findmypast.com on parents naming their children after celebrities. This is nothing new, of course; my friend Julie got her name because her parents liked The Sound Of Music. Girls seem to have come off best in the list: Kylie, Keira and Shakira are all OK, nothing to get beaten up for in the playground, which will probably be the fate of some of the Dres, Gazzas and Tupacs; I should advise all three Snoops to change their name to Michael or James as soon as possible.
