Where I live there are lots of laws governing how you name your kids. I was reading about them the other day as we're deciding baby names for the bun in the oven. Most of the banned ones were just stupid anyway but I was surprised to see fruit on the list. I wasn't planning on naming my kid after fruit but back in the UK you occassionally met girls called Cherry, Apple or Peaches. Seems weird to ban it.
You mean "Fruit" as a name, or examples of fruits, such as the ones you listed (which are legit, IMO)?
As for "The", you have to consider how having this name (if it's allowed) will impact your child's life, because it's going to follow him/her throughout his/her lifetime (barring a legal name change at his/her own discretion as an adult, which wouldn't be surprising). Imagine this scenario playing out:
"What's your name?"
"The."
"The, what?"
"The!"
"The what? What is your name?!"
"I told you; it's THE!"
It would be a real-life ongoing "Who's on First" type of situation for your poor child.
I mean examples of fruit which I listed. I personally don't like them as names but I do think it's harsh to ban it, I don't think they're that bad when you think of all the stupid names out there which are allowed.
I want to name my children "The"
