Annually those from BabyCenter analyzes the names chosen by parents for their own children, and in the last 12 months Apple products have become more and more popular among new parents. Siri and Mac are the names that have registered the greatest growth in recent months, parents having unusual tastes in terms of choosing the names of some children who will have to endure them for at least 18 years before they can change them voluntarily.
The smart phone may just be the best parenting tool since diapers, and some moms and dads are paying homage to industry leader Apple in their choice of baby names. The moniker Apple, although still an unusual choice, rose 15 percent for girls, vaulting a whopping 585 spots. For boys, the name Mac jumped 12 percent. And parents sure like the sound of Siri: The company's voice-enabled personal assistant climbed 5 percent on the list of girl names.
To be honest, I didn't understand and I won't understand why some people choose to give their children the names of products or personalities, especially since in general the respective children end up being the joke of others. Even if Apple and its products are extremely popular, I could never do something like that. What do you think about this practice?
