Gwyneth Paltrow and her honey Chris Martin welcomed their new baby into the world this weekend, a boy called Moses.

How nice for his big sister Apple to have company in strange namedness. Of course, I love it. It could be said that I’ve got a penchant for naming babies unusually — why should celebrities have all the fun? — but Moses is an unmistakably Jewish name, innit?

Gwyneth’s father is Jewish, and her mother, Blythe Danner, has played a nice Jewish mother in the movies, and of course, there’s the Kabbalah dabbling, so perhaps this means the family is edging itself closer to a Jewish idenity.

Mazel all around to the Paltrow-Martins anyway, yo. Come Rosh Hashanah time, they can sing “Apple and Moses, for a sweet new year.”
