I might be one of the few...

...people on here who actually likes Apple. Yes, it's a fruit, and yes, it's the name of a celebrity baby, but something about it is just so cute and friendly. I unabashedly love Apple as a name.
Even though Marie is your middle name, I fear that it's simply too commonplace. However, with an unusual name like Apple (for which 90% of people will already be drinking the Haterade for anyway), perhaps a common middle name like Marie will be best.
Other suggestions:
Apple Elinor
Apple Susannah
Apple Juliana
Apple Miriam
Apple Isabelle
Apple Victoria
Apple Stephanie
Apple Natalya
Apple Wilhelmina
Apple Giselle
Apple Felicity
Apple Tallulah
Apple Melisande
Apple Brynn
Apple Bronwen
Apple Jeanette
Apple Eloise
Apple Veronica
Apple Estella
Apple Sylvia
Apple Tatiana

I agree.
And I really think that Apple as a nickname is a serious cop-out. Appoline and Appolonia are great, but as an excuse to use a nn Apple it really bugs me. Apple on its own is friendly and unpretentious (crazy, I know). An apple is such a nice concept.

Same here.
In Finland there are also seventeen people named Omena, which means "apple".

I was searching just now for a name that Apple could be short for. I found Apolline and thought you might like it too. Not as a full name for Apple, necessarily, but just because it's the sort of name you might appreciate as much as I do.
So, what do you think of Apolline? Also Apollinariya / Apollinaria?

Apolline is darling! I'm not as excited about Apollinariya or Apollinaria (though, I've always loved Apollonia), but Apolline has certainly given me food for thought.. Hmmm...
Thanks for sharing Apolline with me! I think it's really cute! I could see maybe using Apple as a nn for it. Thanks!
I'm so glad someone else on here loves the name Apple! I agree, it is such a cute, friendly name! I don't see how the fact that it is also a fruit could make anyone dislike the name! People name children after flowers and don't think it's weird, why should Apple be so different?
Thank you so much for the suggestions! I love:

Thanks again! :)
