Happy Tuesday Everyone!

So.. how is ya'lls week going?

I got stuck behind my desk doing paperwork, paperwork, paperwork yesterday. Boooorring!

I can't wait until Memorial Day weekend. I have to work on Saturday but I have Sunday - Thursday off! :bounce: Matt and I are thinking of having a yard sale later that saturday. Anyone want to buy our junk? ;)

Well, on to today's question

It was inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow's choice of baby name - Apple.

"If you were to name your baby after a fruit like Gwyneth did, what would you pick?"
 
Looks like people just aren't too thrilled to think about a fruit name for their children..lol
 
I voted Peach, but honestly, I could never do this to a child. :p Can you just imagine being called Peach all your life??
 

How about prune or raisin? Babies are kind of wrinkly and squished at first.
 
I voted for something in the berry family... Seems like I could shorten one of those into a halfway decent name... :p
 
I voted other. Probably as strange as I would go would be Cherry.
 
/
I would not name my child after a fruit.
 
I chose Kiwi, I don't think I would name a child that but maybe a dog.
 
I picked Pomegranate. I deserve to be tortured teaching the child how to write her name if I did that ;)
 
I chose Other because I would have to name my child Tomato. That way, I could call him or her Tommy/Tommie. LOL

Apple! What were they thinking?!!!! :scratchin
 
I chose other...



I would name her Star. It's pretty, isn't it?! Never tried those star fruits....look rather yucky!!
 
Paradise.

After the paradise fruit. I hope I'm not making this up b/c I think it's a tropical fruit but i've never had one.
 
Can't vote in this one! YIKES:rolleyes: Poor kid walking around with a name like Apple.
 
I voted Kiwi, but DH and I were talking about this and had decided on Kumquat for a kid. It sounds so dirty. lol
 
I voted "other," originally thinking of Papaya, since it could be shortened to "Paya" and still sound like something. But, I changed it to "Passion," they could be a day-time soap opera star!;)
