Sounds like a character from Watership Down.
I sense jokes throughout her whole life about "Cox".
Poor girl. How do you suppose these people come up with these ideas? I mean, of all things to call your kid, what brought them to "Apple"? Why not Coconut, or Peppermint, or Echinacea, or Chinchilla? They are no less ridiculous as far as I can see. If you didn't know what they really were, you could easily be forgiven for thinking they were unusual names. Sigh, that poor girl is going to have to live with that name all her life. It just isn't fair. Don't these parents think about how it'll be for their kids? It's one thing giving a strange cute name to a new born baby, but remember, that baby's going to grow up, and it won't be so cute when they are an adult, it'll just be silly. You can almost forgive the name Apple when it's a tiny, dimpled baby, but do you think it'll be quite so endearing when it's an adult, or even an old lady? Having said that, my (female) cousin's middle name is "Velvet". Can you imagine that being her 1st name?
