The bad celebrity baby name apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay rocker husband Chris Martin have named their newly born son Moses. After the Apple debacle we were kind of hoping she'd stick with the fruity names an go with something like Banana. Evidently she went biblical on us again, though we're pretty sure it's not a ratings stunt for ABC's dismal "Ten Commandments"

I think Moses is a cute name. Especially since there were reports that she was going to name the baby Mortimer!!! Gosh, Moses is waaaay better that!

The next kid will be named Elijah or Isiah....if they are proceeding through the Bible as it appears they are.

Hey, nothing bad with Moses. I had a Moses Washington [Epador] as a great great great GF. A Baptist Preacher, I even heard a story about him taking his congregation across the crick from one holler to another after a dispute with the mother church. No word on whether the creek parted or if they paddled across on Christmas though...

Um, guys... apples are NOT biblical. Come on, I know you're all smarter than Gwyneth.
And Moses isn't that bad of a name (though Apple was a TERRIBLE name). Give her a break.

ClobberGirl:
"Apples" are defintiely Biblical! What do you think Adam ate off the Tree of Knowledge? Pears? Oranges? Fruticake? No, he ate an apple. Sorry, but DUH! LOL
All I'm saying is that Paltrow and hubby have got a Biblical theme going on with their kids' names. LOL. Maybe the dog's name is John...the cat is Mary...you get the picture. I think. lol

If you think apples are found anywhere in the Bible, Peter, give me a chapter and verse.
Biblical names are fine. Biblical names that don't actually exist are... comical.

And Peter... the tree in the Garden of Eden was a CHOCOLATE tree. Why else would Eve have eaten from it first? ;)
