<p>I’m pretty conservative when it comes to names, but for some reason “Apple” doesn’t bother me. I actually think it’s sweet, maybe she’s the Apple of their eyes? Anyway, I prefer Apple over names like Precious, Moon Unit, ESPN, Kal-El, Talulah, or Phinneas. </p>
<p>I also think if you’re going to give a kid a common name, give them the normal spelling to go with it. We have an Emmilly in our school. Makes me want to say her name verryy slloowwllyy. And all the Caitlin/Katelyn/Caitlyn/Katelin/Kaitlin/Kaitlynns of the world need to have a convention and vote on a single spelling for their name. I know a kindergarten teacher who had SEVEN Caitlins in her class - and every single one spelled it differently.</p>
<p>That said, I don’t think the government can legislate common sense.</p>
