The Nose Knows: I was hoping for Orange

Looks like little Apple Martin's brother is named Moses. That's right, Moses is the kid in the family with the normal name.

At 2:32 PM, dara said...: I don't hate the name Apple, and in fact, I think it's kind of cute. Better than "Pilot Inspektor," "Moxie Crimefighter," and "Kal-El."

Moses, however, seems to be a poor choice. He will get teased. Probably less than my former co-worker's son named Atticus, but more than my friend's kid named Blaine.
At 2:59 PM, Justin S. said...: Better than "Pilot Inspektor," "Moxie Crimefighter," and "Kal-El" is not a very high hurdle to jump. And while Apple may be a little cute, what's going to happen when Apple gets older and wants to be taken seriously?
At 5:09 PM, DSL said...: I'm not sure that Apple will be teased. She will probably be in an elite school with other celebrity children with odd/unusual names. But yes, she will need an adult name. What's her middle name? Or maybe she'll gain a nickname that has nothing to do with her first name.
At 7:26 AM, Justin S. said...: Apple WILL be teased. I'll tease Apple, if nothing else.
At 10:02 AM, dara said...: Look at the family -- her mother's name is Gwyneth, and her grandmother's name is Blythe. It's not like they're picking off the top-10 most popular name list anyway.

They probably think normal names are pedestrian.
At 11:34 AM, DSL said...: Chris apparently picked out the name "Apple," which Gwyneth thought was sweet and biblical, which explains Moses (also the name of one of Chris' songs).
