In 2004, Apple Blythe Alison Martin daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow was born. There had been 'celebrity' baby naming before but Apple is the one that everyone remembers. 'Who would name a child after a fruit?' is what people say. Not everyone wants to be as bold but still would like a fruity (or vegetable-themed) name meaning.

I was really surprised to see that most most of the names were international. I was expected some names in at least the UK top 100. But because they are word names, it would be weird to have a fruit name in your own language. It would be like naming your child Grapefruit and I really don't think that is going to catch on anytime soon. And the last name of the day - Cicero meaning chickpea in Latin.
