What is next ?
1. Pear
2. Avocado

at least she could have used the middle name blossom.
but there's a thread about this roxy. in her honor though, mrs. mambo and i are considering pomogranete for our first born child...i like it as it's bi-gender and it's shortens nicely to "pom!"
To Papa
I like it. Pom sounds great. Paltrows actions open up a whole world of possbilities . We could go to other food groups such as meat (Angus , Mignon ), Fish ( Snapper & Porgy ), Starches ( Bread , Pasta ). Oh Happy Days

Look at papa and BMFs references SAILING over head.
ok great...so if clay aiken has a daughter and names her vagina, her name would be Vagina Aiken and people would think it's a hip name? What is wrong with these stars...first Blanket Jackson... now Apple Paltrow?
And if Judy Garland married Howdy Doody she would be Judy Doody

Of all the fruits Ms. Paltrow picked her daughter should be glad she isn't named papaya.
"I like papaya. Yes I do! Juicy papaya! YES I DO! If you will help me, I'll help you shake the papaya down!"
I have had several suggestions for when I have kids. Ray and Bebe being the most prevalent.
Was the baby named after the fruit or the computer?
neither. it was named after a white stripes song, but when gwynnie's hubby figured that out, he demanded that the middle name be changed rather than have his daughter's name represent a song by a good band which would constantly pile attention onto the fact that his pales in comparison.
Wonder if 5 years from now there will be a rash of Apples enrolling in Kindergarten. I believe this will be a barometer of Ms. Paltrow's charisma and influence. Of course, *this* name's gonna be a hard sell. I'm reminded of the excitement surrounding the Mad About You baby a few years back. Remember? They named the kid Mabel (as in Mother's Always Bring Extra Love)and that was the last anyone ever heard of it. At least Mabel was a fictional baby. Poor little Apple's going to have to survive school with that name, and at some point, hopefully, she'll hold her parents accountable. Jeesh, life's difficult enough without having to grow old gracefully with a silly, cutesy name. We have now entered the age of celebrity stunt naming.
I'm thinking whether I'd rather be named Apple or Scout Updated On: 5/17/04 at 01:25 PM
Good point. Stunt naming is nothing new. I'm thinking of god Slick (quickly changed to China), Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa, and, of course, Zowie Bowie.
When I was 20 and pregnant, I briefly entertained the idea of Layla as a suitably cool name for the impending offspring, but I snapped out of it in time. But then again, I'm not a celebrity under pressure to be cutting edge or anything.
Yeah, it's a dumb name and the kid will be tortured throughtout her school years but, at least it's not Emma, Madison, Tyler or Connor, this decades Brittany, Ashleigh, Brandon and Courtney.
We should ask Cherry Jones what she thinks.

I'm naming my child Pasta con sardi!

Roxy, for the record, the name Mignon has been used for a woman before (as per the Thomas opera).
And while we're on that topic, we have an (adult) friend named Angus. So while I get your point, you kind of struck out in the beef catagory.

"now Apple Paltrow?"
Actually the child's last name is Martin, as is the father's.
Frank Zappa's younger daughter is named Diva.
