I actually think that Siri is not a bad name at all. It's a little odd, yes, but there are far stranger names around. Mac is nothing special and does not necessarily have anything to do with Apple products. However, calling your child Apple, Orange or Chili Dog is just not on.

[citation][nom]jerm1027[/nom]ZIF might be good initials for a daughter. Giggity!But seriously, why are these people having children?[/citation]

sex feels good and condoms cost money?

 
Google ain't that bad. What about the Chinese kids who are named Bing?

[citation][nom]Gundam288[/nom]That or he has stock in Apple.[/citation]
Zak Islam is quite obviously the beat writer for Tom's. As is typical of the Zak haters, you bash him for being so pro Apple, but completely ignore the articles he does that are not at all flattering of Apple.
 
It's almost like those girls I knew when I was young...Princess, Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedez. Yeah, none of them were beautiful or inspired sexy curves like their names implied. Nothing new, just another sad round of people being dumb.

Bing is a Chinese surname that predates the Bing search engine by two millennia.
 
This is a clear sign that someone doesn't have the mental capability to be a parent to a child. Giving your child a strange name is just so mean to do to them. Growing up is hard enough.
 
Parents that name their kids with these weird names are hoping it will give them their 15 minutes of fame or make them go on interviews. It's sad they're trying to get money for using their child who can't even walk yet!

"Dad, do you like i7 more than me?"

steve is not a bad , choice , doesn't necesarily have to be named after "steve slobs"

Could be named after Steve Harris (iron maiden's bass player and main song writer) Stevey Ray Vaughn, Steve martin, plenty famous folks with the name steve to claim you named your kid after
