Yep, I'm from Australia. I wouldn't say common, but I've seen it a fair few times in birth announcements. It's definitely around. It's hard to tell here because the most we get is a Top 50, and the last I checked it didn't make that list.
Bess is the mum's maiden name.
I'm not sure why they named her Bindi. Knowing them, I'd say it's more likely that they got the idea from her, rather than naming her after Bindi Irwin, if that makes sense. Like, parents naming their child Miley because they heard it and liked it, rather than naming her after Miley Cyrus. BIndi Irwin put it in the spotlight here. I personally can't get past the prickly plant association, but I guess they could *shrugs*
