Re: What would you NOT name your child?

I personally wouldn't use most of the names listed in the link below. Kids with names like that are prone to teasing. I like traditional names like Elizabeth, Andrew and Katherine.

I guess Gwyneth Paltrow and her hubby Chris Martin wanted to jump on the weird name bandwagon like people in Hong Kong. After all, they named their daughter Apple Blythe Alison Martin. Blythe is pretty but Apple??? WTF? I hope they picked it because it's a very special family name.
