Stupid depends on your perspective.
Where we live - in a big city, with an art gallery two doors down, normal names are Esme, Maeve, Canyon, Teddy, Declan and Clio. I suppose it would be fine to call your child James or Elizabeth - it's tough to go wrong with a classic - but plenty of "normal" names fall flat here.
When I go home to my mother's house in the 'burbs, normal names are Kayla and Jayden, Jared and Madalyn. They strike me as terribly unappealing - tacky, even. But then, I wouldn't live in a 4500 square foot house in the middle of nowhere with a four-car garage.
I'm sure celeb kids' names sound perfectly normal and right in their environs - just like Kayla and Clio fit in their neighborhoods.
Should you name your daughter Apple? Probably not. But that doesn't mean your only choices are Emma and Sue.
