Stupid Celebrity Baby Names
By Reality Mom

 It really annoys me when a celebrity names their child something stupid. Case in point: Gweneth Paltrow and her rock star husband, Chris Martin just named their new baby daughter "Apple." What the hell  kind of a stupid name is that? Don't they realize the responsibility they have being celebrities? The name they choose for their child will impact a generation of children with unimaginative parents who will name their poor unsuspecting daughters "Apple" just because "Gweneth" did. Ugh. I am so sick of the name "Dakota" that has been over-used since the Melanie and Donald (of the infamous Johnson) named their child Dakota more than ten years ago. And can we get any more Ashleys or Justins in the world? GOD!

OK, so my daughters have unconventional names. Their names sound a bit "weird" to someone who would name their child Emily or Nicholas but at least they’re not sporting some celebrity-induced name like "Apple." Geeze, what a dumb name to plant on a child! Besides the fact that there will soon be millions of copy-cat "Apples" toddling their way through pre-schools nationwide, it's a really awful name. Apple Martin ... sounds like a nasty old Granola bar. Poor kid. 

Celebrities should not be allowed to influence the masses. Keep their baby names secret for at least two years. Give them a chance to change it if it's this dumb, at least. Maybe they'll see the light? 

Huh? You mean MY opinion is just that? An "OPINION?" Well, OK. I get it.  Some people might think the name Apple is adorable. () It's not. It reeks of "stupid," not "cool." I can't believe Chris Martin is that un-cool! And I can't bear the thought of trying my best not to burst out laughing when I meet the first non-Gweneth's "Apple" which I'm sure will happen long before I come face to face with the original Apple dumpling.
