Pom

Since baby is the apple of your eye, why not choose a fruity, juicy title like Pom? Usually given to boys, this crisp and fresh name comes from the French word pomme, meaning “apple.” Those favoring a more exotic fruit may love Pom as a shortened form of pomegranate. You may recognize Pom as the name of the eldest triplet from Babar the Elephant. It’s important to note that “pom” and “pommy” are slang for a person of British descent in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, making it a tongue-in-cheek way to reference baby’s ancestry. With apple blossoms to greet baby in the spring and delicious fruit nourishing the land from summer to fall, Pom celebrates the glorious gift of life that is baby.
