Re: Baby Names (was Apple?)

I'm from NY and I think its great that one of the factors in the name meaning the worlds greatest city.

I'm with you, I actually walk around in lower Manhattan hoping to be inspired!  I'm adamant on naming my children with some sort of NYC flair.  My friend’s daughter already named her 6-year-old Madison so that is out!  So if anyone has any ideas, let me know;)  Just not Apple, sorry, I can't do it!  (This is for future children, none that are about to be born btw.)

You could still name your daughter Madison - as that's where G & C got the name Apple - they asked a friend if they could name their daughter the same as his...

A complete F for originality, folks.

Hee hee - just remembered that my cousin used to have a dog named Madison and then her aunt named her new baby Madison!  Can you imagine?  Having the same name as a dog in the family?!  (They all lived very close together.)

Honestly. 

Stacey, Its great to walk around NYC hearing people call out names (LOUDLY), isn't it?  And what a great difference of names from the UES and then to the Village... 

If you had a boy you could always name him after one of the Yankee heros.

LOL!!!!  I love NYC!!!!  Yes, well UES there is always 1st Avenue;)  (Sorry, I like to make myself laugh)

I've been told not to tell people what you want to name your kids before they are born because people are very judgmental (I can't imagine! )  I told a friend I love the name Trinity, not for the Matrix either (And I'm not Catholic, so it's odd I guess) and she went off on it.  Oh well, I guess she will not be hearing anymore ideas ever again!

Oh yeah, never tell people what you want to name your kids. When I was ten I told my mom I wanted to name my girl Athena and my boy Atreyu. I'm still living it down.

Yup, I recently mentioned Sophia and Mom made the most horrible face! Also used to like Leila but Mom was on a plane that was hi-jacked in 1969 by the PLO (yes, really!). The leader was a Palesltinian woman called Leila....... guess that nixed that.

Apple...hmmmm...

I have to wonder what was at the core of G&C's decision to name their little dumpling...

Oh, but I can see her future...as she grows older, with such famous and beautiful parents...the tabloids will always be after some juicy gossip about her...everyone will want to know "Who's that be-cider?"  She'll be pressed by reporters and paparazzi...everyone will want a piece of that pie...though some will doubtless brand her as either a golden delicious girl...or simply a tart...

And in her later years, as the decades turnover...will she have mulled over the past...and wondered if her name added a dash of flavour to her life?  Or will she wish there had been more spice?

Will she wish she'd had a brother?  Someone to take the spotlight off her...For when he married and sired a child...that would have evened the score by making of old Gwynnie...a Granny Smith.   

ROFLMAO!

But methinks you have a bit too much time on your hands!!

I was supposed to be Derek if I were a boy!  I always loved that name!!!  My dad loves Derek Jeter! 

Apple...hmmmm...

Jacob and Emily were the most popular baby names in the United States for the third year in a row, according to the 2003 BabyCenter Baby Names List compiled by BabyCenter L.L.C., the leading online resource for new and expectant parents. However, there were major upheavals in the rankings below the number-one spots.

The use of classic feminine names like Emily, Abigail and Isabella increased significantly for girls, a move away from the TV-inspired names that have been popular since the mid-1990s, such as Alexis and Brianna. The boys' names list, which typically varies very little year to year, also saw unusual movement but in the opposite direction. Longtime classic boys' names such as Michael and Christopher are being edged out by newcomers such as Aidan, Ryan and Zachary.

BabyCenter compiled its annual baby names list from more than 300,000 members who had babies in 2003, the largest private list available. The BabyCenter list is unique because names with the same pronunciation but different spellings are combined to give a more accurate view of name popularity.

Stacey... Derek Jeter  Good lord, child...

Really, it's not because of him!  I swear!!!

Oh and Rhia, all the names I love are on that list!!!  I heard five mothers calling Emma the other day at the park!  That is like the only name Richard liked that I ever give him to think about.  Thanks to Friends, Emma is huge, I'm hoping Jack and Erika will pick up soon!  I can't name my kids either of those since it's my sisters name and fathers name!  So I am safe

  I like the name Emma as well

I'm not planning on having any little ones but I always thought Kersey, a family name, would be kinda cool even though it is unsual.
