 Stars
in their eyes
2004 produced some interesting names for celebrity babies. Fruit
seemed a popular choice with some stars, while Hollywood's current obsession
with the ancient world was represented in some boys' names such as Roman
and Atticus.
So, if you're stuck for inspiration for an unusual name, browse our top
celebrity choices of 2004. You never know, you may find a Gem(ma). But
before you christen your child Banana Troy, remember that pupils at the
schools where most of us can afford to send our children might not find
your choice so enchanting …
