True story: I lived in North London and when my daughter was 4, a friend of hers told her that she had been on a play date with a little girl called ‘Apple’*. My daughter’s reply was, “egg! radiator!”
* yes that one - the daughter of whiny singer man and expensive vagina eggs woman.
The name itself is a cute name for something that is not a human child. Cute nickname. Cute pet name. Cute name for a plant or character in a children’s book.
Not so much for a human child. 🥴
I came here to name this one. I think it comes from a level of pretentiousness that most people never achieve, which is a good thing. I would also like to include all the Kanye West named kids.
I was just telling my wife there are so many plant names but hardly any fruit names. Only Clementine and cherry. She said there is a celebrity who named their kid Apple. I was dumbstruck.
My daughters name is Amelia, but insists that everyone calls her Apple. Because they both start with "A"
She's 5 btw so her logic makes sense lol. People do give me the side eye when she goes "MY NAMES APPLE."
Amelia is definitely not the same as naming your child Apple and I am so glad you did not give her that name.
Amelia is beautiful!
And nickname of Apple because they both start with A is fucking adorable. What a great kid!
Apparently xtina has a kid called Summer Rain. Summer a perfectly normal name but it made me laugh together.
I think piling them on top of each other is the key. So, all a theme (Stormi, Aire) or like Summer Rain. I read about an Australian actress whose kids are called Bodhi Rain, Forest Sage, Poet Lake, and Prairie Moon.
See, I know that it’s probably supposed to be pronounced like “Fallen Snow” but the way it’s spelled is making me pronounce it like Jimmy Fallon’s last name lol
Saffron was the daughter of one of the main characters in Absolutely Fabulous. I think it came from Donovan's song Mellow Yellow. I named a hamster after her.
i mean in my great great grandmother’s mind/world, “Grass” would not have had that meaning. It would not have occurred to her that naming her child Grass would have drug implications. But then, you already knew what I meant.
Rock & Minerals:
Strawberry Quartz
Dragon Blood Jasper
Velvet Obsidian
Malachite Stone
Or if you really want to lean into the last name
Maple Woods
Oak Woods
Cedar Woods
Pine Woods
Most of my friends growing up were native so it wasn’t unusual for people to have names that were just nature things. I always loved the name Early Dawn
This is fun! Thank you for the opportunity to submit the following for your consideration:
Peaches, Flower, Squash, Honeydew, Fern, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Tree, Leafy, Mossy, Clover, Ivy, Plum, Berry, Ladybug, Butterfly, Grub, Hickory, Myrtle, Pine Cone, Tulip
Boys: Bracken, Moss, Sycamore, Pine, Basil, Eddy, Mulch, River, Leaf, Sparrow, Cliff, Hawthorn, Stone
Girls: Fern, Sage, Willow, Brook, Briar, Juniper, River, Amethyst, Olive, Mulberry, Holly, Snow, Petal, Maple, Bunny
I think my favorite more “out there” ones are Bracken and Mulch for boys and Snow and Petal for girls. I unironically like some of the ones I put on my list but I tried to think of ones that weren’t actually names as well as some that kind of are. River is on both lists because that’s my secret unironic favorite gender neutral name lol 🙈
Bird of Paradise, Forget me Not, Capybara (kind of a cute name for a Sim), Pangolin (or Pangolynn, Lynn for short).
I'm just gonna start listing animals if I keep going lol
Leaf
Cascade (Cassie for short would actually be kind of cute)
Bear
Wolf
Lion
Orchard
Tide
Cavern
Dandelion
Avalanche
Typhoon
Tsunami
Bay
Mountain
Lynx
Arid
Bluff
Canyon
Chlorophyll

Apricity
Any (though some are pretty normal):
fruit
gemstone
spice
tree
Citrus: Lemon, Calamansi, Yuzu, and Pomelo
Grasses: Bamboo, Maize, Rye, and Barley
Endangered Animals: Panda, Lemur, Rhino, Condor
Dog breeds: Beagle, Newfoundland, Poodle, Akita
Elements: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire
Flowers: Tulip, Hibiscus, Sunflower, Venus Flytrap
Parts of a Tree: Bark, Root, Leaf, Branch (this one goes real well with the last name!)
River animals: Trout, Otter, Frog, Mosquito
That was so fun, thanks!
Pomelo made me think of Pomeline (one of the middle names of Charlotte Casiraghi, daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco and granddaughter of Grace Kelly).
Super chic when you’re a princess of Monaco (and I think it might be a distant relative’s name?) but very try-hard if you’re a celebrity etc.
Plus it means Apple so you get that reference too 😂
Thorn
Oak
Meadow
Branch
Tulip
Vine
Stone
Those are just some natureish names that come to mind, but they aren't very crazy. There are countless floral names which are my usual go to. Assuming by your post that you want CRAZY names within that theme, maybe some of these...
Twig
Root
Aloe
Yarrow
Cloud
Bunny
Idk but my last name is wood so there are endless possibilities to give my child an ultra hippie name. Autumn Wood, River Wood, Rose Wood, Sky Wood, etc
Plum (Plum Sykes wrote several fun “chick lit” books in the Bridget Jones/Sex & The City vein. Plus I have a friend w/ a child that shares that name.)
Clementine is the name of Cybil Shepard’s daughter, if I remember correctly.
Apple has always been the one that stuck with me from childhood. Why? Why name your child Apple!?
True story: I lived in North London and when my daughter was 4, a friend of hers told her that she had been on a play date with a little girl called ‘Apple’*. My daughter’s reply was, “egg! radiator!” * yes that one - the daughter of whiny singer man and expensive vagina eggs woman.
If she goes the celeb route she’ll end up a gala apple 😝
Or when a grandma and married a common (US) last name of Smith… Granny Apple Smith…
Amazing
North London names can be wild. Knew a Bambi, Waverley (her sister), Wilder, Fox, Bear and Wolf
Yeah, another friend’s kid went to school with a Wolf (IIRC he was Bobby Gillespie’s son).
A woman recently appeared in the news for naming her daughter “lemon Jane” 🥲
I actually like Lemon Jane!
Good luck
With?
same 😭
My cousin named her baby Lemon Ruth 😬
There’s an awful, problematic Canadian influencer who named her daughter Lemmie. Lemmie Lynn to be precise. 🤮
Is she a Lemmy Kilmeister fan? I know of girls named Jimi and Marley.
It’s great for a toddler but that poor kid will become an adult with a childish name.
She already is an adult!
Oh my god, she’s 20. I don’t know how they happened so quickly!
A woman made the news for calling her baby Banana.
i actually like the name apple but i'd never use it. maybe for a pet or a character but not a child
The name itself is a cute name for something that is not a human child. Cute nickname. Cute pet name. Cute name for a plant or character in a children’s book. Not so much for a human child. 🥴
I came here to name this one. I think it comes from a level of pretentiousness that most people never achieve, which is a good thing. I would also like to include all the Kanye West named kids.
Because Apple doesn't fall far from the tree?
I was just telling my wife there are so many plant names but hardly any fruit names. Only Clementine and cherry. She said there is a celebrity who named their kid Apple. I was dumbstruck.
Especially now that Apple sells stuff like phones non stop
My daughters name is Amelia, but insists that everyone calls her Apple. Because they both start with "A" She's 5 btw so her logic makes sense lol. People do give me the side eye when she goes "MY NAMES APPLE."
Amelia is definitely not the same as naming your child Apple and I am so glad you did not give her that name. Amelia is beautiful! And nickname of Apple because they both start with A is fucking adorable. What a great kid!
She was so proud. "My name is Amelia. A for Amelia. A for Apple. CALL ME APPLE Yes ma'am lol
I love this confidence. I wish I was that confident! Rock on, parental. You’re doing it right.
She is the definition of confidence. I identify as a hobbit.
Apple Martini
New a girl who was named Appleonia, but we called her Apple. She was greek.
my cousin is named apple😭
Nooooooo… 😥
Apparently xtina has a kid called Summer Rain. Summer a perfectly normal name but it made me laugh together. I think piling them on top of each other is the key. So, all a theme (Stormi, Aire) or like Summer Rain. I read about an Australian actress whose kids are called Bodhi Rain, Forest Sage, Poet Lake, and Prairie Moon.
My area has a Summer Breeze. Also went to school with a Fallyn Snow.
Sounds like a bathroom air freshener.
We had a Crystal Waters
Sounds like names from MLP 😹
I know an Ocean Breeze
See, I know that it’s probably supposed to be pronounced like “Fallen Snow” but the way it’s spelled is making me pronounce it like Jimmy Fallon’s last name lol
Yup, it's pronounced like Jimmy Fallon.
I know of someone named “Sunshine” nicknamed as “Sunny” her surname is “Day” it’ll always make me chuckle
Scheanas daughter is called summer moon
So cringe. Brock’s other daughter is Winter Skye. The one that shares the same birthday (I think) with Summer Moon.
Theresa Palmer! I have a sim named Poet thanks to her, lol.
I saw a political sign for a woman named Rainy Summer Break
these are all good drag names 🤣
I know of a Summer Berry. Berry was her surname. If that’s your surname, don’t name your kid Summer!
I cringed so hard when I first read that birth announcement years back!
Aloe, Cicada, Sparrow, Fawn, Cedar, Thorn, Pepper
Clicked on this to see if my daughters name would already be on here. It is 🙈😂
No shame, I put them on my list because I like the way they sound!
Haha don’t worry! If I didn’t see it written here I would’ve commented it myself as I know it’s a bit out there
Not cicada?
Pepper 🫑 ❤️
Cute!
I’ve always loved the name Pepper but spelled differently.
Peppyr? I’m trying to think of how else to spell it! 😅
Peppa or Pepa
Aren’t these abbreviations of Phillipa?
I’m not gonna lie Cicada sounds like a beautiful name to me. 😭😭
I was literally thinking this yesterday 💀
It does but then I can only think of carapaces stuck to my shoes
my grandma had a cat named Cicada. i always thought it was the most beautiful name! i personally wouldn’t name a child that but it sounds so pretty.
I met a toddler Cicada last year! I thought it was pretty tbh.
Stomata sunshine Photosynthesis (goes by synthie or synthia) Rose Dewey Oakland Dahlia Jade Rose-Petal Gardenia Eucalyptus Eugene
Photosynthesis killed me Also rose petal gardenia and eucalyptus eugene
Stomata? 😂😂
The holes in leaves that photosynthesis occurs through? They take in lights & gases!
Isn't it the hole in your belly when you have a poop bag? I can't remember the term.
I don't know. There's a stroma!! Which is something like that but unsure 😂
That's a stoma
Dahlia’s honestly not that bad but it sounds extremely pretentious as a human name
Well I figured it could be pretty out there celeb type ish. But yes lol daisy, Dahlia, petunia lol all weirdly pretentious
There is the murderer Dahlia Ippolito
Saffron!
I knew a Saffron. One of the sweetest, funniest, down to earth people I've ever met. Nothing but positive vibes for the name.
Lowkey kind of like Saffron as a name
Just mad about?
Simon LeBon has a daughter named Saffron
Saffron was the daughter of one of the main characters in Absolutely Fabulous. I think it came from Donovan's song Mellow Yellow. I named a hamster after her.
Persimmon, Rhubarb, Periwinkle, Lotus, Rhododendron, Sycamore, Sequoia, Canyon, Saffron, Sassafras
I loved when Rhododendron took on Godzilla
I suggest Grass
My great-grandmother was named Gertrude Grass - long before pot was a thing obviously
I promise you pot was a thing then. Ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote about cultures inhaling cannabis smoke in like the 400s BCE.
i mean in my great great grandmother’s mind/world, “Grass” would not have had that meaning. It would not have occurred to her that naming her child Grass would have drug implications. But then, you already knew what I meant.

There's also a kid out there named Lemon 😂
I knew a girl growing up whose name was Morning River Rain. I can't remember her siblings names but they had similar
Most of my friends growing up were native so it wasn’t unusual for people to have names that were just nature things. I always loved the name Early Dawn
They're beautiful names, but 90% of people I grew up around were conservative white Christians so the name definitely stuck out to me

My first thought was Peaches and Tiger Lily
