Apple?! -- If I didn't already think Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were on crack ...

EDIT: I'm amazed that article didn't have a quote from either of them saying, "Well, we would have named her Kumquat, but that would have just been silly."

Damn... that's just mean.

Although... with Gwyneth as a mom, I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less.

And what makes it even meaner is that I could sworn they were one of those famous expecting couples who said they hadn't decided on a name yet because they "wanted to see the baby first."

So apparently, the real father of Gwyneth's baby is the apple-shapped guy in the Fruit of the Loom commercials and she just hasn't broken it to Chris yet.

the baby might be well at the moment, the mother sure isn´t, and once the kid realises what it´s been called it won´t be either ...

Apple Blythe ... You'll find it in your produce aisle, right between the Macintosh and the Gala.

When she's a teenager, everyone will be wanting a slice of Apple's pie.

Oy.

apple is weird. I would never curse a child like that. Seems like a lot of unusual names a cropping up lately. My favorate singer of the moment is named Butterfly Boucher.

When the BBC headline "Paltrow gives birth to baby Apple" came across my friends page, I was hit with the image of her squeezing out a G5.

can they not afford a computer? Are they stumping for a freebie?

And really, what kind of name is Apple Martin-Paltrow. The Apple Martin part sounds like a drink. And you just know that kid is going to bed saddled with the nickname Appie by the kids at school.

Apple Blythe Alison Martin.

Sounds like a Mary Sue to me.

Bets on whether the kid will insist on being called Alison after her first day in school when she's mercilessly teased by the other children for either the Apple or the Blythe?

Are they Suikoden fans? That would explain it. Apple's in all three games.

Unfortunately, it's the only thing that would. Unless they're Mac users.

Blink. Blink.

They might want to be careful, Apple records sued Apple computers for less.

Well on the bright side at least they're wealthy enough to afford the best medical care possible when their child comes home beaten everyday from school.

In this case an Apple a day doesn't necessarily keep the doctor away.

George Foreman has 10 children; 5 boys and 5 girls. The boys are all named George Foreman.

And I thought Michael Jackson was Bad.

See, that would be defined as arrogance, while I'm pretty sure naming your child after a fruit is fecking insane.

My big shock was that the baby was 9 pounds. Gwennie herself isn't more than 10.
