I'm from Australia too, and a month or so ago I overheard a parent calling out to their 3- or 4-year-old son, Banjo. I knew it was getting popular hear but I'd never actually heard it in real life before.

I wouldn't use it either, but I don't know how much I like it. It's OK, but a bit weird. Banjo Paterson is fine, but it's still an instrument. (I'm a bit torn about that, because I do like the name Viola!)

1. Viola and Banjo would be fantastic. In seriousness, though:

Elliot

Xander
River (full name Snowy-River Manfrom Lastname) (Although River and Banjo do actually sound good together)

2. Banjo Caspian

3. I don't like it too much, but I wouldn't say it's silly. In my head, it's kind of the Australian answer to Atticus. It sounds sillier than Atticus.
