My whole family was dead set against it, even my mom and aunt who are huge Prince fans. Every time it came up my mother said "everyone will call her Apple Bologna and make fun of her....you don't want to do that" blah blah blah! So I wanted to name her Apollonia so bad that it was either that or Tondalaya and nobody cared for that. I couldn't even pick a name after she was born. I was so stuck that the last day in the hospital the nurses told me if I didn't name her that they would because they needed something on the birth certificate. So my mom had to name her what she wanted and I hate it! I will take that to the grave with me! It makes me sick to think about it, I sooooo wish I would have named her Apollonia! But, I decided I will try to get pregnant again in a few months and I'm sure I will have another girl and I WILL name her either Apollonia or LaPrincia. Or if it's a boy Princeton. I'll be damned if someone tries to go over my head this time. So take it from me NEVER LET ANYONE NAME YOUR CHILDREN BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Do you have anything Prince-name related? I like the names Vanity and Apollonia for twins, I think it's cute and different!

I named by two gerbils: Male: Prince Female: Mani

That was during the time Prince was still married

The gerbils have since passed on

I named my Cabbage Patch twinz Vanity and Apollonia.
My dogz r named Prince and Lolita,and my snake is Camille.

Apollonia sounds like a good name for a horse.

People will always find something 2 try and tease you about.How many times do you think Prince was barked at? Just about as many times as i got teased for my big blue eyes and lips in grade school. They called me white nigger?! They wish they had it now.

A lavender plush velvet frog that I call Prince. lol

I didn't know your gerbils died.

I have a cat named Prince. But he was named that before I adopted him from the shelter. Think they named him Prince because he has a real sweet personality. I have to admit that I adopted him because of his name.

I have a cat named Prince.

So what did your mom name your daughter?
You should've named her if you wanted... just call her Apples as a nickname.

DaVanity said:

You can always change your daughter's name. Apollonia is great for a middle name. If you want a Prince name, what about "Nadeara." Org me if you want the details. Nadeara Apollonia Or Susan Apollonia (Susan for Susan Moonsie of Vanity/Apollonia 6--Susan WAS Prince's girlfriend when they were in high school)

I begged my best friend to name her daughter Princess after Prince and my nickname in high school, and she said "Heeeeellll NO!" But, Princess is one of her middle names. I'm happy the name was included on the birth certificate! Why don't you name your daughter Princess?

Princeton is a cool male name. I may have to borrow that from you.

my two cats were named Lisa and Wendy but Lisa died of old age so Wendy has no one to play with

Why don't you get another female cat, so Wendy is not lonely? You could name the new kitty Susannah (after Wendy's twin sister).

learnt about this in a kids book about teeth

Saint Apollonia was one of a group of virgin martyrs who suffered in Alexandria during a local uprising against the Christians prior to the persecution of Decius. According to legend, her torture included having all of her teeth violently pulled out or shattered. For this reason, she is popularly regarded as the patroness of dentistry and those suffering from toothache or other dental problems.

it was so cute at soccer- rugrats friend had a tooth ache (not cute ). my rugrat said later- u should have said apollonia to him

prb said:

That is cute! Kids say the cutest things.

Prince got the name "Apollonia" from "The Godfather" anyway, so people
might think that's where you got the name from (particularly if you happened
to have an Italian surname). Non-Prince fans would be far more likely to make
this connection than a Prince one imo.

"Apple Bologna."

I like your mom. She has some sense.

BorisFishpaw said:

That is correct.

BorisFishpaw said:

The Apollonia from the Godfather movie is probably more well known than the Apollonia from Purple Rain..or is she, I have no idea. Anyway, you should have chosen your babys name yourself. I wouldnt name my kids after Prince.

Why not Apples?

DaVanity said:

I like Camille better. I don't think she would be teased about that.

My car is called Prince as it is small purple built in 1999 and I love it.

I named my pussy Scarlet:

i had 2 mice called 31 and 21 but then 21 died so i now only have 31

But I thought Apollonia is her real name: Patricia Apollonia Kotero. I wanted something very unique and different, the more weirder the better! But I would hate for my daughter to have the nickname "Apple Bologna"....kids can be so mean. And it would have taken a looooong time to teach her how to write her name.....maybe moms had a good point

Apollonia is not her real name. Prince named her that. Just like he named Vanity, Diamond, Pearl, Carmen Electra, etc. - and came up with approximately a gazillion different names for himself.
