Lincolnshire Echo
Jack and Olivia have been revealed as the most popular children's names of 2008.
While Jack has secured the number one slot for the 14th year, since it took over from Thomas, Olivia is enjoying a new-found popularity.
Overtaking Grace – made famous by Hollywood star Grace Kelly – and Ruby, the name of singer Charlotte Church's daughter, Olivia has now topped the poll.
The names are taken from a national survey of 380,000 babies born in 2008 by parenting club Bounty.
Anna Stanislawska (25) came to England from Poland in 2004 and chose to name her eight-month-old daughter Olivia Borkowska, as it is both a popular Polish and English name.
"In Poland we spell it with a 'w' instead of a 'v' but I thought it was easier for her when she was at school to spell it the English way," said Miss Stanislawska, of Rookery Lane, Lincoln.
"I've heard of a few little girls here called Olivia but I did not realise it was quite so popular."
Linda Newton named her baby son, who celebrates his first birthday today, Jack.
"My husband and I both thought it was a nice strong name that suited him," said Mrs Newton, of Front Street, Dunston.
Names that vanished from the top 100 this year include Tegan, Patrick, Dominic and Gabriel.
And among those beginning to see a revival are Sofia, Julia, Darcy and Amelie.

Sydney Morning Herald
Maggie Alderson examines the bandeaus, bikinis and budgie smugglers that made movie history.
Some people go to the cinema to laugh. Some go to be frightened, to be thrilled, challenged, stimulated, entertained, educated and generally have their minds expanded. The rest of us go to look at the pretty people.
The whole point of proper film stars - as opposed to character actors - is that they are a lot better looking than real people. But unlike supermodels, they are a perfect version of normal, rather than a slightly freakish breed apart.
One of the ways in which we expect them to be different from - and better than - us, is how they look on the beach. We want them to be utterly gorgeous at all times and from every angle, but we have particularly high
expectations in the swimwear department. Which is probably why there is a whole subculture of paparazzi dedicated to catching shots of film stars looking blobby on the beach, when they are off duty.
But while we may enjoy having a gloat at such celebrity cellulite snaps in the trash mags, once the cameras are rolling we demand perfection. We might want to perve - as men under 30 seem to be doing with Jessica Alba and women of all ages are with Daniel Craig - or we might simply want to admire and aspire. We might also want to laugh. Whichever it is, we expect them to be better at it than we are. Or give us our money back.
Do they deliver? I reckon so. And after extensive research, we have gathered together the 10 most memorable movie swimwear moments, for your own expert perusal. Go fish.
3. Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief and Grace Kelly in High Society
Cary Grant, the Riviera, the open-top Sunbeam Alpine, Grace Kelly's nose … To Catch A Thief is such an elegant film but the bathing scene is pure camp, as she stalks through the hotel lobby in something you don't see very often these days - a full matchy-matchy beach outfit.
There's a black high-neck backless halter cossie and matching capris, worked back with a white split-front overskirt with a black swimming cap tucked underneath a large straw hat, all finished off with a white tote, white cats'-eye sunnies and classic wooden-soled slide mules. Priceless.
By contrast, in High Society Kelly gives us one of the most elegant swimwear moments on screen. She drifts poignantly to the pool (this is long before she gets squiffy and snogs Frank Sinatra) in a white halter-neck cossie with a demure integrated skirt with side slits. It's divine - but even better is the floor-length, white silk-jersey, Grecian-style robe she wears over it. Pure class. And the languid way she undoes the silk cord belt is very, very sexy.

LA Times
The Hermès Kelly bag rose to fame in 1956 when Grace Kelly used it to hide her pregnancy from photographers. But now, stars let it all hang out in magazines (Milla Jovovich, Christina Aguilera), on the red carpet (Cate Blanchett; Angelina Jolie, pictured with Brad Pitt), even while performing on the concert stage (Jennifer Lopez). Then they proceed to lose their baby weight in record time, just to make the rest of us feel that much worse about ourselves.
