We're back in the realm of very-well-known ridiculous baby names now. Can you believe that little Apple Martin is already fourteen years old? It seems like only yesterday she was born to her parents, rock star Chris Martin from 'Coldplay' and A-Lister actress Gwyneth Paltrow. It also seems like only yesterday that we were reading about her name in the newspapers and wondering what strange force had possessed the pair to give their daughter such a weird name.
There are plenty of fruits which are accepted and established as good names for girls. 'Apple' is not one of them. When anyone says 'apple' we're as likely to think of the tech giant as we are of the fruit, and Apple and their computers were as well known then as they are now. They may not yet have invented the iPad, but they'd created the iPod, and the mp3 players were everywhere. That made the name come across as a sponsorship deal, even though it wasn't.
