"Apples are so sweet, and they're wholesome, and it's biblical," Ms. Paltrow said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2004. "And I just thought it sounded so lovely and clean."
Jezebel is a biblical name too, and antifreeze is considered to be sweet (sweet apples are rather icky, anyway - I prefer the tart ones).
It's not the name that bothers me (I mean, it is, but that's not what I'm talking about), it's the "Apple is biblical" argument. Because, first off, it's not (apple in the Bible means fruit, and not apple) and secondly - no. Just... no. If you like the name, fine... but pick a better reason.
