Nahhhh... Gala is kinda silly IMO (I wouldn't name a kid Ball, Event, or Dance). Cherry is an absolute no. While the slang is less popular now, the anatomical associations would make it uncomfortable for me. And Plum? That's a Clue character.

How about apple types:

Cheating a bit since they're names: Mackintosh, Jonathan, Braeburn

Maybe? Fuji, Cameo, Ambrosia

Too funny: Granny Smith, Northern Spy, Pink Lady

Plum is acceptable if you're British and want everyone to know it.

Peach is acceptable if you're Asian.

Clementine is the only one that isn’t completely awful.

Pear??? I feel like it's opening up your kid for mean jokes about their body shape...

Berry?

Inspired by a friend of DS with the name Lemon. Which fruits, if any, are good names?

Here's my thoughts:
Acceptable, but not to my tastes: Lemon, Apple
WTF: Most fruits
Genuinely CPS-worthy: Melon, Cherry, Boysenberry, Buddha's Hand, Starfruit, Ugli Fruit
So Insane I Can't Even Criticize: Rambutan
