Names

Apple, Moxie Crimefighter, Pilot Inspektor, Audio Science, Tu Morrow. All names on the "Worst Celebrity Baby Names" list. I always read those articles that come out at the end of the year about baby names. What were the most popular, the least popular, and in this case, the most ridiculous.
But why is it ridiculous for people to name their kids after things? Be them objects, people or a class you might take in college. Why does the world care if someone names their kid Apple or Cocoa?
In Vietnam they do this all the time. 9 times out of 10 a person's name is just a word for something else. For example, one of the more popular names is Phòng (pronounced fh-ohm) but the translation for the word is 'room'. If the rest of the world does it why can't we? vaq[a cat just stepped on my keyboard]
