For the love of God and all that is holy....
You don't name your child APPLE.

now, if they had given their child a Buddhist name (or a name from whatever religion they practice), or something like that...but *Apple*? I don't think I would name a baby that....
I do know that Joaquin Phoenix's parents originally named him Leaf....

I just think there is something sacred about naming a child. It sort of sets them on a path...of course, maybe with all the money that child is bound to come into, it doesn't matter...

*twitch*

Yes, it does.

A few weeks ago I was in Office Depot and this woman had a little boy with her, and she felt obliged to keep yelling his name every time he got more than two feet away from her.

"Macintosh! MACINTOSH!!"

I was horrified and couldn't stop giggling at the same time.

Why?????

Why do people do this????

If I ever manage to get pregnant I swear I will name my kid Mary or Jane or something hopelessly plain like that because IT will end up being the exotic name.

It would be fun if this boy would marry Apple... ;-)

I just read about this before I came to LJ and my first thought was poor child.

Maybe Gwenyth looked at her newborn daughter and said, "awww...she's the apple of my eye. Oh honey, what about naming her Apple, wouldn't that be so cute." Chris says, "yeah, cool".

It is... well, weird. But then again, Gwyneth is not precisely a common name either. Apple... that girl is going to hate her mommy one of this days.

OH my GOSH...

I had to comment. One of my friend in high school's mother named HERSELF apple. Her parents let her name herself and that was her choice.

crazy.

Hi. I am laura...I added you, hope you don't mind.

Nice to meet you Laura! Good solid name there, thank goodness our mothers had their wits about them when we were born. :)

See you are struggling with the baby thing too. It stinks.

I've added you back.
