Oh, no. What's next? Peach? Honeydew? Kiwi?
^^^^^
laugh whoa I wonder what people were saying when my daughter was
born? Her name is Kivi, but Germans pronounce it "kiwi", and
sometimes people call her that by mistake (like my Mom).

Kivi is a Finnish name by the way. It means rock or stone.

I think that's a pretty name. It's hardly 'Apple'.
Plus Jamie Oliver has already done Poppy Honey!

In article , Cheryl says...
LONDON (Reuters) - Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow (news) has given
birth to her first child, a daughter called Apple, a spokesman said on
Saturday.

Apple ?

Right, that's it.
Cal is now banned from listening to his favourite Coldplay CD.

My mom thinks Apple is "neat", no other kid will have that name. I said I
hope not. Hope it doesn't have a big round head either, I can hear the
jokes already. What a truly stupid name.

What a huge baby though.

I wonder if Gwynnie would like to borrow my ring cushion ? g

but actually being christened 'Apple'? Confirms that woman has
nothing between her ears.

Hey ! - that's a bit harsh.
I'm sure her husband was in on it. How do you know it was Gwyneth's
choice ? She might have picked the boy name ...

I'm a lurker but just had to say something about this. While Apple wouldn't be
a name I'd give my child I don't judge other peoples choices. Besides, Apple
is a better name then a lot of the names I've seen posted on this board.

Apple??????????? How could she do that to he baby? Hopefully she goes by
one
of the middle names.


Thank goodness it's Apple MArtin and not Apple Paltrow.

When my 14yo heard it she said it sounded likea drink.
"I'll have an Apple MArtin and a Martini, please."


SIGH

That's almost exactly what my hubby said when he heard the name: "Everyone's
gonna call her Apple Martini" - he thinks the parents did it just to be
cute. I have more faith in them then that, and I hope the reason is
eventually explained in a future interview. It may be something really
personal and touching.

Kat

Good point, but she didn't have to agree with him if that's the case. Too
many people don't think of their child when picking names, these kids have
to go through school and the rest of their lives with a silly name. There
was actually a guy who lived down the road from my grandmother, with the
surname Pipe, and he was a plumber....ha ha, I guess you can't help your
surname when you choose a profession. But did they have to name their son
Dwayne? That's just cruel :-(
Just because she's a celeb's kid doesn't mean she isn't going to get teased
at school. The best she can hope for is an elite private school amongst
other celeb's kids, with equally stupid names. Just my 2 cents.
It's not a one off, Gwyneth has been noted for her stupidity before during
this pg, saying she didn't want to talk about the pg for fear of jinxing it
and losing the baby. Hellooo? So all of us who've lost babies, they wouldn't
have died if we hadn't gone and talked about them? Newsflash,
everyone!Everybody has stupid hang-ups I guess, but to air them on
international TV...

Your not one of those people like my friend Deb and her husband that told me
Bonnie was a horrible name but named their son Bendiks are you? For the
most part I think people have picked verry good names I must admit it bugs
me when people name their kids after common objects or even animals.
Flowers, plants and towns are ok though

Okay, I can see where you are coming from there. I read it as it "sounded"
Asian. I'm like, no, I don't think so!

Apple doesn't sound remotely Asian, it sounds Produce. That's like
saying
"Chair" sounds Asian. NO it doesn't. Apple is a fruit. Doi.


I think that asian names are often nouns for plants, seasons and stones:
jade peach, spring moon, winter lotus... hence the connection between the
chinese/asian babies and the name. At least, that's the only way I can
figure why I know two adopted asian babies named Apple.


Donna

Nope, never seen a name as bad as Apple on any signature on this
board.
