I remember seeing a theory that celebs only pretended to give their kids weird names, but actually gave them normal names in way to give them anonymity. Maybe this is the case here? Or not.

Even with normal names, these kids will have a not so normal life, and I guess the best we can hope for is that they aren’t too messed up.

I think that's not a bad theory, but Grimes is so starved for attention that I don't think it's the case here.

My sister named one of her daughters Happy, but gave her a normal middle name that she could go by. Everyone she comes into contact with loves her name though, so it's only ever worked to her benefit.

Aaaw. That’s sweet. I knew a Rainbow, and her name was so perfect for her, she was just the lightest, happiest, sweetest person on the face of the earth.

I knew a girl in highschool whose name was Harpreet but she went by Happy

[varioussaints]

I misread that as “Harpy” and was like damn what a twist.

thats a GREAT theory - like is Goop really out here naming her daughter APPLE?

[skyler_white_yo]

I want this to be true for the guy that named his kid Pilot Inpecktor.

That kid is probably an adult by now

[skyler_white_yo]

Omigosh, you are probably right. I feel so old now, lol, just ship me off to Shady Pines.

I feel like we’ve seen so many ridiculous celebrity baby names since that Apple seems almost normal.

Is it that bad in America ? In my country it's very common to give female children fruits name (equivalent of cherry, mandarine, apple, etc)

[sea_thoughts]

In Anglo culture, it's much more common to give children (especially girls) flower/plant names than fruit names. But at least Apple is an actual word that is common and means something, unlike so many other celebrity baby names.

I wish this was true, but I don't think so :(
