No name details. In fact no information at all hence no link.

BettySpaghetti · 10/04/2006 10:30

I didn't think she was due yet? Was baby early?

Whizzz · 10/04/2006 10:35

Bean Sprout ?
Mung bean ?

Pinotmum · 10/04/2006 10:36

Apple has both Grandmothers names doesn't she? Apple Alison Blythe or the other way round. I think they'll go for something more veg than fruit - spud or scallion perhaps.

CaptainDippy · 10/04/2006 10:50

It's probably going to end up being something like Jack or Andrew and we'll all just go "oh".

Liking mung bean though or perhaps Turnip - She's had one fruit, think they should go for veg now. Grin

Aw. I quite like Mortimer btw. It's sweet. Although it's meaning must have something to do with death as mort is dead in Latin. Unfortunate. Mmmmmm ......

Uwila · 10/04/2006 12:34

Mortimer is allegedly so she can call him Morty after her Godfather Stephen Spielberg, whom she calls "Uncle Morty".

However, I'm puzzled by the half jewish girl / Jewish man as Godfather relationahip. I thought Godparents were strictly a Christian thing. Have I got this wrong?

cupcakes · 10/04/2006 12:39

Maybe a symbolic godparent? I was not christened and yet have a token godmother as do my (unchristened) children.
Or maybe it's an American thing.

Uwila, absolutely right. No godparents in the jewish religion

spursmum · 10/04/2006 12:41

Here's a giggle \link{http://www.thesuperficial.com/archives/2006/01/02/gwyneth_paltrow_and_chris_mart.html\Oh my god!!}

gscrym · 10/04/2006 12:42

My DS wasn't christened and has 6 'godparents'. Three couples who we would want him to be looked after by should anything happen to us.

As far as I can recall from very strict brethern church days, there is no christening ceremony in the bible, only adult baptism by full immersion.

Sorry if I'm wrong or have offended anyone.

And on the topic of the latest Paltrow-Martin project, I vote for either crumble, pie or brown betty.

spursmum · 10/04/2006 12:50

My personal vote is for 'Satsuma' !!!Grin

calicopie · 10/04/2006 12:52

Morty Martin??????!!!

BullyingLondonLegalBods · 10/04/2006 12:52

Jaffa

intergalacticwalrus · 10/04/2006 12:52

I think maybe Turnover

Or possibly Prune

spursmum · 10/04/2006 12:53

snort @'jaffa'

intergalacticwalrus · 10/04/2006 12:54

Maybe they will call him Bob.

intergalacticwalrus · 10/04/2006 12:54

Then the press can remark on his shiny eyes and lovely glossy coat.

schneebly · 10/04/2006 12:55

I think she should go with the herbs - sage or basil good but not sure about oregano or corriander!

spursmum · 10/04/2006 12:56

Thanks Walrus, make me choke on my sarnie, why don't you?Grin

Uwila · 10/04/2006 12:57

I'm for pie or core.

intergalacticwalrus · 10/04/2006 12:58

I was in Birmingham a few weeks ago, and I heard this woman shouting at her child who was called Sage. DP and I pissed ourselves. Poor child.

BettySpaghetti · 10/04/2006 12:59

Maybe they'll go for something more exotic like Papaya or Mango!

schneebly · 10/04/2006 13:00

Apple is not bad for a celeb baby name - Jason Lee (my name is earl) called his son Pilot Inspektor (no joke) and Shannyn Sossamon (a knights tale) has a baby called Audio Science!

spursmum · 10/04/2006 13:01

A blond 7 year old boy came running up!!I was crying!!
