Nicer than Peaches but less pretty than Clementine. At least it sounds feminine and is pronouncable (in most languages) easily.

No worse than Apple or Clementine.... Move away from the fruit! There are so many nice names without resorting to fruits.

chocoluvva · 28/09/2012 10:18

And the fruit is sometimes pronounced, 'Paw Paw'.
What a shame for that child.

Isn't that matalans range of own brand clothing?

CachuHwch · 28/09/2012 10:14

Earnest :o :o :o Does it really say that?
Your baby is now the size of:
A small anorexic blue tit;
A furball coughed up by a three-year old tortoiseshell tom cat;
A pineapple, gone slightly off, then dipped in baked bean juice.
:o

Papaya, to me, is a make of clothes from Matalan.

I have the What to Expect book, and one that stuck in my mind was when the baby was the size of a "mango dipped in greasy cheese" (or something). I'm not sure Mango Dipped In Greasy Cheese goes with our surname though Hmm

I bet she had the What To Expect app on her phone. It tells you what size fruit your unborn baby is every week. Ours is nicknamed Papaya in honour of this (although it's now a large cantaloupe melon, apparently). It is unlikely to go on the birth cert though.

is

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 28/09/2012 07:23

32?! Hmm

dashoflime · 28/09/2012 07:20

I agree. She seemed a bit daft and a bit troubled but basically nice. Her eldest daughter us a real gem.

JakeBullet · 28/09/2012 07:14

I think in the documentary she came across much better, it showed that she knew her approach to surgery etc wasn't normal and she did not want that for her daughter. Hence the daughter is so normal I think....wasn't even allowed a boyfriend until she was 16.

birdofthenorth · 27/09/2012 20:42

Worse than Peaches. Better than Apple. Heaven help the Pineapples and Satsumas that follow.

cupcake78 · 27/09/2012 18:11

As in the fruit? Dear god alive

charlottehere · 27/09/2012 18:04

I saw the the programme with her older daughter too, was like a real life abfab, adeana - alissis/ saffy - georgia.

CherryBlossom27 · 27/09/2012 17:39

Ick! Not a good name, but I'm guessing she's thinking of Peaches Geldof or Apple don't the the surname but daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow?

I like the fruit.

Its a silly name, but they are all at it really arent they. I would ask to be called Paps.

JakeBullet · 27/09/2012 16:42

I think they have her age wrong tbh....

Frontpaw · 27/09/2012 16:23

32? She looks older than me and she's had plastic surgery.

Frontpaw · 27/09/2012 16:20

Pawpaw! Hahahahahahaha!

Poor child, what an ugly name.

BananaBubbles · 27/09/2012 16:18

Awful name.And they might as well call the poor baby 'Vomit Fruit' because that's what papaya tastes like.

JakeBullet · 27/09/2012 15:39

I saw a documentary thing about her.....her 16 year old daughter is fabulous, so much more switched on and mature than her mother. As soon as I saw the thread title I knew it was abut her.

ProudNeathGirl · 27/09/2012 15:39

Well, I suppose if you can have Apple and Peaches, why not Papaya? Not my thing though - I like "proper" names.

BunnyLebowski · 27/09/2012 15:38

32 my hairy arsehole Hmm

Poor wee Papaya. Stupid name and a pair of fuckwits for parents. Sigh.
