Number of babies named after Apple, Siri, and Mac increase in 2012
This made me laugh, honestly. According to BabyCenter’s most recent list of baby name usage, the name “Apple” jumped 585 positions for girl’s names, 15% over last year’s place. For boys, the name “Mac” rose 12% over last year. You can’t forget Siri, Apple’s digital assistant, who saw a rise of 5% in girl’s names. Like I said, this news just kind of made my chuckle. I may love Apple as a company, but I doubt I’d name my kid after its products, or Apple itself.
What do you think? Do you know someone named after Apple or its products? Did you name someone after it? Let us know in the comments, or tweet me @TiP_Kyle.

We named our daughter Siri, it's Norwegian and its her great grandmothers name. We found out about the "assistant" being names Siri when I was 6 months pregnant. We chose the name before we even got pregnant. So we decided not to change her name. We love Apple products, but I wouldn't name my child after one. It was a coincidence. :-/
