Gala Applegate. Could spell it Gaila.
Honeycrisp Applegate. Also sounds rather like a pastry scandal.
Delicious Applegate
edit: Or better yet, Golden Delicious Applegate
I think you’d have to be a mouthbreather to think Kal El is a good name for a child. Pilot and Moxie don’t bother me; I’ve heard dumber names from non-famous people.
Isn’t this post the same behavior aimed in the opposite direction?
People around here tend to hate those kinds of names. Other than Michelle at least). You’re making a lot of unwarranted assumptions. Poverty has nothing to do with it and neither does polling. (Or intelligence. I heard there are a couple of non-brilliant celebrities out there.) Sadie Grace is a good name, and it’s also a type of name that a lot of people around here like. And I do think it compares pretty well with Kal El and Apple.
Actually, around here, it’s more of a case of middle class biddies taking the opportunity to tsk-tsk at the naming habits of both celebrities as well as historically disadvantaged minorities.
The middle name should have been something like Nicola or Nancy.
Then she could have been known as Snapplegate.
:dubious:
What the heck is wrong with Michelle or Kayla?
:dubious:
I’ve known Sadies that were actually named Sada
What, nobody else thought “McIntosh”? We could call her Mac for short!
And in about 10-20 years, Apple could hire her for their Mac and PC commercials. Maybe with Prince Charles as the costar. “Hi! I’m Mac!” “And I’m P.C.”
EDIT: And eh, I find it bizarre how people obsess over what people they don’t know name kids they’ll never meet.
It’s really because the rich people who are giving these names are, in a way, thumbing their nose at society. Normal people are not able to give those names, as they’ll be made fun of. The rich people, by choosing those names, are flouting their superiority. Of course some people are going to be insulted.
I do know that plenty of people with strange names get them changed, so apparently it works.
See, the thing of it is, the celebrities, by that reasoning, couldn’t do that either because even more people would (and do, quite often) make fun of them for it.
What I still don’t get, is why does anybody care?
What else are we going to care about at eleven o’ clock on a Thursday? I’m on break, my DS Lite is all the way across the office in my coat pocket, and I’ve checked my webcomics for the day - what’s left?
I think you’ll find that is not true. “Normal” people make up names that are sometimes even more ridiculous than you can imagine.
You eat clementines too, but that’s been a girl’s name for quite some time.
Indeed, as anyone who spends anytime around school age children will attest. By the time many of these people enter high school or the work force, it seems they’ve often decided to go by middle names or nicknames, but I cannot believe some of the names I come across at my niece’s dance recitals.
It could be short for “Mercedes” .
My sister’s name.
So watch it pal.
Similarly, I have to give props to Jack Black for naming his sons Sam and Tommy, when so many ideas must have been gnawing at him. Sabbath, for instance. Or Friday.
Or Paintit. 
Quoth Lust4Life:
Whom, Christina or Sadie?
<ducks>
You’re joking, right?
