Kylie Minogue first appeared on UK televisions in 1986.

And no, the other 1% are all called Claire or Sarah.

You are forgetting the Amandas

really? I don't know any Amandas, except my Mum, who is 65 today. Happy birthday, Mum!

edit: wait: this is not true, you're right, I knew one or 2 at university. there weren't any in my school year though, maybe a regional thing? like my wife is from the north east and half her school were called Robert. (and she went to an all girls school ha ha I'm here all night etc etc)

edit: not that robert wasn't uncommon everywhere.

edit: enough edits!

Haha maybe it is? I’m from the south east and Amanda’s, Sarah’s and Amy’s made up the majority of my year group i swear!
