Jack & Chloe? Blame Richard & Judy

ext|circ points to National Sta­tis­tics Online, which car­ries the news that, yet again, Jack and Chloe are the top names for new babies.

What no one ever points out, pre­sum­ably because the sort of jour­nal­ists who write this stuff up don’t spend a lot of time watch­ing day­time telly, is the fact that Richard & Judy have two kids called Jack & Chloe who they witter on about indul­gently at every avail­able oppor­tu­nity. With no proof what­so­ever, I am con­fi­dent in assert­ing that this must be behind the con­tin­u­ing pop­u­lar­ity of the two names.

That and the fact that Jack is, like, a totally cool name to have.
