HEY MY KID IS NAMED ARRUGULA! ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF MY CHILD?! *****
Reply:Don't you worry! Let human life take its own course which has been ever changing. Enjoy new names created by the new generations.
Reply:We told you before... a name is a name. Whatever floats a person's boat. Why do Asian people have children and name them Phuck? It happens. Sorry sweetie but it will continue to happen.
Reply:Call your child whatever you want just bare in mind that the poor child has to use that name for the rest of its life!!!!
Reply:you can name your child what ever you want. shoot name him/ her football if you want or strawberry
Reply:You could name your son Mango, so he can become an androgynous dancer in gold shorts. "I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain" ;)
Reply:You can't stop people from naming their child/children different names then what we are used to!!!!
Reply:Willow, Fern, Ivy, Rose, Lilly, Daisy, Skye, Rain, River, the list goes on and on and on. So why not Apple? Pineapple, Lettuce and Kumquat are not attractive fruits and veggies, but Apples themselves are attractive, but as the first person said, whatever floats your boaat.
Reply:Well ... you're not in charge of naming. None of us are.





25 years ago, the name Madison was not in the Top 1000. I suspect early adopters of the name Madison got some funny looks, too.





Now it feels like every other little girl is some variant of Mad-.





Pineapple, Lettuce and Kumquat would be bizarre choices, but I bet we'll meet some girls called Peach and Plum in the future. And yes, some more girls called Apple.





Would I choose it? No. But there are some names I adore - Hazel, Harriet, Cordelia, Coco - that others probably think mark me as a little crazy.





To each his own. Um ... sort of.
Reply:No one said you couldnt name your child lettuce - If that floats your boat!
Reply:I am planning to name my next child C'abbage - it's unisex and means "sparkly butterfly that sings pretty songs" in Tryndee. What do you think?
Reply:those arent insulting words so I dont think that the hospital should have any objection, especially if you are a non european
Reply:I know what is it with parents wanting all these crazy names for their children, who will probably get the p"iss taken out of them all through their school days, and there is also this trend for Double Barrelled first names and if that's not bad enough they wanna stick double barrelled surnames on the poor kids
Reply:NOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't do that child like that. I mean it.
Reply:People were naming their child Apple long before Gwen Paltrow. Get over it, its a little out there, but no big deal. Name your kid Generic Marie and quit bothering the people who like more uncommon names. =]
Reply:Amen! but we all know that Hollywood babies are exempt from any teasing!!!!!!! Would that we could annex that place!
Reply:People are idiots, aren't they?





Give them time and I am sure we'll see a little girl named "Grape" at some point.
Reply:totally agree with you.people name their kids without thinking they are the ones who have to live with the name and the slagging.come on parents spare a thought for your kids in the future save them the needless jokes.
