I was taken aback when doing the weekly shop last week to hear a very young mum (about 17) calling out to her toddler of about 2 years old "Britney! Britney!" Didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for the little girl. It's not unusual for people to name their children after their idol?????
There are two sorts of names, classics such as Elizabeth, Mary, Jane, John, William, Thomas... and fashionable names which come and go with the generations. There were lots of Brendas around when I was at school, but can't remember the last time I came across a child called Brenda.
Kylie was the "in" name a few years ago, I guess that's now given way to Britney.
