But if you give your son a first name of Aston, you are obviously going to give him Martin as a middle name......

Someone do that maths (I'm too friggin' tired right now), but what percentage do those 7,139 comprise of the total number of newborn boys? Or, I could just wait till tomorrow for the Daily Mail to tell me, I suppose.

A famous family in outback Australia of the surname Mota had two boys - yep, one called Diesel and the other one was Lectric.

No joke. It's all true...
