Apple

It’s a well-known fact that celebrities like to give their children outlandish names. I think the first one I remember being odd was Apple, the first child for actress Gwyneth Paltrow and musician Chris Martin. Well, okay, it wasn’t the first bizarre name I remember. But for some reason, it struck me as odd to name your child after a fruit. At the time, they just said, “it’s a cool name.” I also remember reading somewhere that they thought an apple was sweet, and they couldn’t think of anything sweeter than their new daughter. Or, that she was “the apple of their eyes.” So, that justifies giving your child the name of a fruit? If so, is she more of a Golden Delicious or Granny Smith type of apple? Time will only tell…

Anyway, no one else (celebrities) that I know of has done this again, thank goodness. It’s one thing to give your child a unique name. It’s another to associate them with fruit, as delicious as fruit may be.
