Agyness Deyn’s name isn’t just plucked from the Unusual Name pile. . . it was supposedly conceived by “Britain’s only professional name analyst” Laurence Y Payg, who “reads” names and suggests changes in them for specific personal and professional benefit.

In a slightly out-there piece in The Telegraph, Payg claims that he helped Deyn (born Laura Hollins) rocket to supermodel stardom through a surname with the “value” of 21 and the important letter “G” to “ensure financial and emotional gains.

“Soon after her name change, Agyness’s career sky-rocketed. Absolutely nothing else about her circumstances changed: she stayed with the same agency, kept her hairstyle, her look, and yet everything suddenly changed.”

If it’s true, I hope that Payg also mixed in some relationship luck for Agyness, who recently broke up with her guitarist boyfriend Josh Hubbard and is rumored to be dating another musician type.

I wonder how my name stacks up? Uh-oh, I’m such a sucker for this stuff. At least I know I’m in good company, right?

It looks like major brand Burberry is set to drop their British model poster girl Agyness Deyn because she’s made herself too recognizable and over-exposed. If you believe what you hear (which I have been lately– can nobody keep a secret anymore?), she’s not being cut for bad behaviour or clandestine drug use, but because photographer Mario Testino just isn’t feeling it anymore.

According to insider sources, Testino expressed that “She was just a flash in the pan. Last year she was quirky but now she is challenging [Kate] Moss in the fame stakes by positioning herself everywhere.” The source also admitted that “That kind of popularity just hasn’t sat well with Mario, who is looking for something different.”

If one thing’s for sure, Burberry’s had enough of the chavs, and maybe Agyness’s wild side is treading too close for comfort. Perhaps they can’t handle someone who’ll jump off a building nude without blinking an eye?
