Many people are exposed to new and different names through tv and the influence of pop culture can be seen weekly in birth announcements Australia wide.
The Gold Logie really is a popularity contest with the award going to the most popular personality on Australian tv by way of public votes. Whilst this list contains more female names than male names it is a reflection on the gender balance of Gold Logie nominees and winners. There are significantly more females nominated then males and the male stars have been a core group of well known tv personalities dating back to the early 90's whilst the women seem to change and cycle through quicker.
Without further ado, some logie winning names for your future tv star!
