Titolo: Chiamereste Mela vostra figlia?

Pare che l'attrice Gwineth Paltrow abbia chiamato Apple sua 
figlia.
Mi immagino jokes e prese per il qlo, povera bambina.
È una cosa comune? pare di no. 
Si usano forse altri nomi di frutti tipo Peach, Pear, 
Pineapple, Actinidia, Plum, Banana?
-- 
Today no, tomorrow yes.

 Pineapple, Actinidia, Plum, Banana?
C'è un'autrice famosa Japanese che si chiama Banana Yamamoto.
Una delle figlie di Bob Geldof si chiama Peaches.
"Actinidia" non si dice in inglese; il frutto si chiama kiwi.

 kiwi.
Beh, neanche in italiano. 
Magari la figlia di un agronomo, i quali come sai usano i 
nomi scientifici ...

Peaches is not uncommon in cats.
By the way, Emily has been the #1 name in the US for the last two years.

This is my opinion of modern, colloquial, American English. 
If you feel the need to e-mail me, un-not my address first.

 20. Romeo (Victoria and David Beckham)
... wondering what they find "weird" about ordinary foreign
names like those - though I'm not particularly keen to hear
how they might pronounce "Eugenie" in the USA (hope in the
UK they might have some clue)...
As for the original topic, I've been recently working with a nice
girl from Naples named Melania, who usually signs "Mela" -
sounds nice and fresh, and everybody seems to like it here.

Well, if her name were *Mela*, that would be strage. My name is Sebastiano,
and a lot of my friends call me Seba. Seba, as a nickname, is very common.
Seba, as a name, would be very weird.

So far yes, but you never know!

I turchi usano una grafia fonetica, forse era scritto

Poh. Meglio di Salma. Una Mela è più fresca di una Salma.

Well, that's the rear end of my name, after all. :)
Anyway, it's *not* a common nickname. If someone were to call me that way,
well, my answer would not be very polite.
