We're more than half way through our list now, and we've seen children named after all manner of things from fabrics to places to professions. Now, thanks to Banjo Patrick Taylor, we have our first musical instrument. The fifteen-year-old is the child of Australian actress and director Rachel Griffiths and her husband, famous Australian painter Andrew Taylor. There's no musicality in the family that we're aware of, so we don't know where 'Banjo' came from.
The celebrity couple have two other children who have relatively normal names, but Banjo was the first, so we have to assume there was a specific reason for it. Maybe there was a banjo playing when he was conceived, or when he was born. Maybe they just really like banjo music. If that's the case, the young man should be glad that he didn't end up with a name like 'Drum' or 'Glockenspiel.'
