Z's comment "I wonder if
Amanda's was trying to honour her Canadaian roots with the name Maple." was speculation. Thus "I wonder." That might have not been the reason at all. Totally crazy thought, but maybe one of them just said "Hey what do you think of Maple as a name?" and the other one said "Yeah I like that."
Glamour.com reports "No reason behind the baby's name selection, but Maple, which is very autumnal feeling, definitely fits with the list of celebrities who have given their kids names inspired by trees..."
(oh look another trend that Maple fits)
Idk. I'm done with this conversation. Honestly I think if two American celebrities with no Japanese connection (because that is what
I've been talking about this whole time) went and named their baby
Kaede, it would show up on the "Strangest baby names of the year" list on Nameberry or something. Even if naming is becoming more multicultural.
