Superheroes and superstars

Bear in mind this list was compiled in the UK and as such includes names of a number of people who made their fame on trashy British reality shows, but when you look down the names, it’s pretty accurate.

Top of the list for boys was ‘Chris’ and when you think of the number of famous – not to mention handsome, muscly, often-cast as superheroes – people called ‘Chris’, that’s not surprising.

Whether you’re more Pratt, Pine, Evans or – my personal favourite – Hemsworth, there’s no doubt Chris is a strong pick if you want your little fella headed for future fame.

When it came to the girls, ‘Jess’ came out on top. And between Jessica Alba, Chastain, Lange and Jessie J, it’s certainly a name with plenty of star power. Also making the top ten were royal favourite Charlotte and eternally popular names like Olivia and Amy.
