However, it's not like ALL fruit sounds acceptable. For example I wonder who would ever call their kid as Lubenica (watermelon)!
Or Banana, that is a common nickname, but never a name, too funny. But there is a good Japanese writer whose artistic name is Banana Yoshimoto, though.

Ha, I just remembered another one! Malina (raspberry) also exists as a name! Banana is known to be a nickname, but Lubenica?! Jesus, that's just wrong!

But here's a thing I don't get: why is Dunja (quince) acceptable as a name, but Dinja (melon) isn't? Really weird, huh?
