Subject: Fruity names

I realise that some of the stranger names one sees are very rare or even one-offs, but for those of us based outside the USA it is sometimes hard to know for sure. So, advice, please!

I know about Gwyneth Paltrow's Apple daughter. I also know about a Chinese woman who has left Shanghai and is asking people to call her Plum. She finds it cute, and it has some link to her given name - something like Forest Fruit, it seems. And then there's Cheryl/Cherie/Cherry ... or is there? Berry? Others?

In your experience, are fruit names happening? Might they come to look pretty ordinary, or is there no real momentum as yet? I'm cross-posting this to the Opinions board, as some people tend not to leave their board of choice; but I'd like either facts or fact-based impressions if you have any.

Thanks!
