A poll of more than 1000 Australians has revealed one-third of people admit they have told fibs during a job interview... Sarina Russo Job Access chief executive Kevin Ayer said the onus was on employers to double-check details, but if you cheat in the interview process you should be aware of the ramifications. "Not only could you not get the job or be dismissed, but if you have doctored records there could be other legal implications," he said.

A list of the top 20 most unusual names of the decade has been released - with Shy, Unity and Bean just some of the cruel legacies parents have passed on to their children. The weird monikers emerged after researchers trawled through millions of recorded names given to UK newborns since 2000. Much of the inspiration for the top 20 names was footballers and musicians... Of those who chose alternative names, more than one in 10 admitted regretting their decision to veer from the norm. And 14% of oddly named youngsters were desperate to change their names... Top 20 unusual names: 1. Shy 2. Unity 3. Bean 4. Zowie 5. Puppy 6. Ice 7. Victory 8. Porsche 9. D'Andre 10. Denim 11. Diesel 12. Armani 13. Rooney 14. Bowie 15. Cobain 16. Stone 17. Gift 18. Echo 19.
