Queenslanders have named 76 newborn babies after Elvis Presley in the 30 years since his death, Queensland Attorney-General Kerry Shine says.
Mr Shine, whose portfolio responsibilities include the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registry, said it was obvious Queenslanders had not forgotten the man dubbed "the King".
"Interestingly, the number of newborns named Elvis spiked in the 1990s with 35 sharing the name," Mr Shine said.
"However, a more modest 21 newborns have been named Elvis this decade, with four of those last year."
"Elvis Presley is an icon and obviously some parents have thought so highly of him to name their children Elvis," he said.
