it is the most horrific name. . .

A is for Apple and everything but sometimes folks go too damn far.

I like Blythe Allison but they could have done w/o the Apple. How weird.

Apple? Oh lord :rolleyes:

Yeah Blythe Allison or Allison but APPLE!?!?!?!?!

If they have another kid will they name it

Orange
Banana
Kiwi
Nectarine
Peach
Guava
Pear


:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yeah, what the hell? Blythe Allison would have been a nice name. But Apple??

I never met an Apple before. They should have named her Peaches! ;) Blythe is after her mother so that is nice.

I'm wondering if the fruit name is a British thing. The author of that new book Bergdorf Blondes is named Plum and she's British too. I like the Blythe part.

Flower names seem to be popular in the UK too, according to the novel "Elegance" by Kathleen Tessaro (e.g. Poppy and Flora....especially Poppy). I too would have dropped the Apple part though.

If that kid is just a few pounds overweight, her classmates will call her "The Big Apple." Hello body image problems.

Damn. That's a pretty good-sized baby. Mr. ISU Kappa was 9 lb 13 oz when he was born and he's now 6'4, 300 (but I know that doesn't mean anything)

This is unsubstantiated, but I heard today that "Apple" is a nickname Gwyneth's late father, Bruce Paltrow, gave her when she was a little girl. I understand she and he were very close and she was devastated when he suddenly passed away, so maybe naming her daughter Apple makes her feel close to him.

Anyhoo, what's up with these American celebrities who don't want their children born here?

Free health care in the UK AND they send a nanny home with you for 6 weeks (or they did when a friend of mine had a baby there).

That and the paparazzi won't be making your life miserable. I've cared for babies born to celebrities (mostly professional athletes). We'd have to hide them in the back of the NICU (a locked unit) to keep reporters away.

I don't care if that was her nickname from her father... naming a child after a fruit is dooming her to being teased the moment she hits kindergarten.... I've seen plenty of wierd names. I feed sorry for all the first grade teachers of the world who have to remember how that parent chose to spell Mary or Alice or Lisa(trust me, there are many ways!). It's interesting that more girls get the wierd spellings-- think that's a sexist observation? Perhaps. Or is it just not cute to name your son something unusual?

Maybe she's going to be known as Blythe or Allison in school.
