Aww, Hooray for Gwyneth and Chris!

[englishrose]

Bless them and their new little baby girl...
Gwynnie gave birth, after a looooooong labour to a healthy 9pd 11oz little girl.
I'm happy for them both...

But tell me, why, WHY!? Call this new beautiful little life... Apple...!?!?

[Lilith]

symbol of knowledge...

as in the apple in Eden making the dwellers aware. Is why apples are given to the people who impart knowledge on the masses, teachers.


Maybe they believe that all children are born knowing and that you merely have to access that knowledge. Or maybe they wish for her a deep seated love of learning or passion to know....or maybe they were on crack :p

[LixyChick]

I opt for the crack! Gyn wouldn't know knowledge if it hit her in her apples!

But, bless the sweet new life though! (<-----I ain't that big a meanie...really I ain't!)

[englishrose]

Lmao... yea, I too believe they must have been on crack!
But thankyou Lilith for teaching me the meaning of the apple.... if i had one, I'd give you one.... an apple I mean!

[Steph]

I read recently that Apple is a name a few parents have been thinking of lately. Flower and fruit names are replacing the city and country names.

[Irish]

Possibly,they named her after a computer!As in,stores knowledge!At that wieght,they might have named her"Bushel of
Apples" Irish

[imaginewithme]

Yep, good for them.....

[Gilly]

I saw that this morning, and looked at my husband, slack jawed, and just said, "What in the hell were they thinking?" I mean... Apple? She's not a my little pony, people!

[huntersgirl]

Always nice to hear of a new life! Congrats!

[lakritze]

Maybe they plan to change their last name to Strudel.

[Teddy Bear]

LOL @ lakritze!!!



Apple isn't as bad a name as Frank Zappa gave his kids.

[Belial]

Well, regarding FZ's kids, I'm not too sure on the reasoning behind Moon Unit, but I know Dweezil was named after the nickname given to his wife Gail's misshapen toe, Ahmet is a common name in Arabic countries and India, and Diva doesn't seem that bad a name to me. But Moon Unit, now, that does seem pretty whacked out.

[Irish]

The FIRST thing that my wife said to me,last night,was to say that
it's better then FZs kids names! Irish

[Summer]

I think Apple is cool! I guess if they had a boy he would have been Banana! :D

[Gilly]

-grins- Guess she won't be much fun at that Apples and Banana's song, will she? ;)

[Summer]

[Gilly]

I think after giving birth to a 9 lb 11 oz child any woman would be out of her mind.

I can think of a lot of fruit names that would have been worse.
Could you imagine having the name "Melons" and not as a nick name!!!:D

[Summer]

My child was 9lbs 15oz.

Agreed! Though Kiwi has a nice ring. ;)

OMG Summer! My first was 9 lbs 4 oz and she was a horse! (still is) I can't imagine.

As far as Kiwi, I have a cousin who's in her 30's and her name is...I think it's Keely? Not sure but when I was young I always thought it was Kiwi. :p

[Lilith]

#1 was 9lbs. 15.8 oz.

#2 was 9lbs. 11 oz.

still managed to name them more typical names:p

[Summer]

My son was 7lbs 13.8oz

My daughter was the 9lbs 15oz


and I didn't name mine typical names. ;)
My daugher weighed more but she is a small girl now.

[Fairy-Bird]

I'm thinking they're trying to start a new fad... You know... naming your kids after fruit.
