This is a little tongue in cheek....I've noticed that whenever a poster asks for opinions on unusual names, there will generally be one or two replies along the lines of, 'don't choose it, it won't suit an adult' or 'they won't be taken seriously' and similar.

Well....just how many people in the public eye do have unusual (first) names? Are there very many?

I hope Brad Pitt doesn't choose to school his daughter in England then.

Shiloh Pitt

Piloh ....

I would say that Keira and Jude would've remained in the unusual category had they not been the names of two very successful actors!!

'fox in socks' is that the lead actor in that new X-Files film?
Marion - that was John Wayne's real name. Quite famous I'd say.
