I guess you could say it all started with Apple Martin. The year was 2004, and Gwyneth Paltrow was pre-Goop.
Small and blonde, her new baby girl was adorable – but ‘Apple’? Like, as in the fruit? Yes, a baby name inspired by the contents of Gwyn’s fridge. We were stumped.
Many collectively screamed: “What the %@*#(^@ was that woman thinking?!”
