Just reading the morning paper and can't get over the fact that Gweyneth Paltrow named her daughter "Apple". Yes, yes, I know, much better than Dweezle and Moon Unit. But still, I can hear it now "Hey Apple, come here ya fruit!"

lol yeah I know!! And who was it that named her kid "Coco"...? Courtney Cox or something like that? Hmm. Makes me wanna name my kid Cherries. I personally think that naming a kid something like that is just another form of torture... *pities poor Apple and Coco* They're humans too! *sighs* Not fruit or chocolate.

My aunt once knew a girl named Toiletta...and her brother's name, well...it was pronounced "Shih-thayd" but it was spelled like a very mean insult.

Poor people.

By the way, several notes about the Zappas...Dweezil's real name was Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa because the nurse wouldn't let them name him Dweezil. Silly nurse. They always called him Dweezil anyway. He found out what his real name was when he was 5 or something and he was so upset...They went and got his name legally changed to Dweezil a while later.
Moon Unit was called "Unit" because, as the first child, she made them a "family unit."
Diva, their other daughter, was named that because she screamed louder than any of the other babies at the hospital.
I don't know why Ahmet was called that, but it's a pretty normal-sounding name.

Also...A family in Sweden wasnted to name their son Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced "Albin") in 1996 but the court wouldn't let them...Obviously.

Then, of course, there are those Puritan names, like Tribulation Wholesome and If Christ Had not Died for Thee Thou Hads't Been Da**ed. (No, I'm not kidding. And the censor-thing doesn't like that one. Teehee.)

Ooo! Ooo! And one of my ancestors was named Preserved Fish. His mother was Grizzel Strange.

*looks back at what she wrote* Um...I like names a lot...

My old math teacher is like, I cant remember what he named his daughters but I feel so sorry for those kids. I dont think parents realize that they're kids have to go to SCHOOL.

Rather liked Apple myself. But then I like simple better. Look at it this way, at least when she has to learn to spell her name it won't be as big a hardship... I mean try learning to spell 4+ names when the school you go to won't let you advance to the next grade unless you do. ¬,¬;
Plus there's the whole, "Hey you know how to spell your name And have one less vocab word to learn!"
That's gotta be cool in the end.

I know some young kids I see at work sometimes with the names of Snowrain and Oceanstar. I rather like those names
