quicko: names

I've always been slightly obsessed with names. I like inventing them, finding new ways to spell them and giving them to inanimate objects. (Elmer the lamp springs to mind.)

Granted, my pool of Australian names is probably a bit skewed, but here are some that I've noticed as being a bit more common than they are in the US:

Boys:
Angus
Callum*
Graham*
Hamish
Hugh*
Jules
Lachlan
Raf
Rhys

Girls:
Bec
Charlotte*
Claire*
De
Gemma
Hayley
Helen*
Kylie
Lucy*
Sam

*Or perhaps these were really more British??
