Going bananas

I had a phone call yesterday, and the woman on the line introduced herself as "Chiquita". I was sure it was a prank call at first . . . . I expected her to say "Oh, it's later than I thought - I gotta split!" or some silly thing. But her name really was Chiquita! Then later at the store, I heard a Mother say "Dole! Get back here right now!". If I hear someone call their child Del Monte, I'm going to be SURE that I've gone bananas. As for me........I don't really find the names . . . . . "a-peeling".

Let the punning begin. :Hahaha:

Chiquita? Dole?? Wouldn't surprise me if those people were both fruits. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I may try and slip in on this one later on.........for now tho, I will have to let it slide.

verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry werid name. no offence

well whats next mybe a mother will name her kid "pear" lol

Orange glad that your mom didn't give you one of those fruity names??? Ha! I would be raisin hell!! :Hahaha:

Well, Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple, and I think that's awful coming from someone who has such a beautiful name herself.

Dole, just gross! LOL!

I know a girl named Elvis

lol

If I had a name like that, you can be sure that I would Dole out some cash to get me a new name.

Chiquita? Amazing! In Spanish "Chiquita" means "very little" in its feminine way (in its masculine it should have been "Chiquito")...Here in my country, "Chiquita" could be a nice nickname. We even have a TV show-woman nicknamed "Chiquita Legrand" (she is named Mirtha legrand), that would mean "The Little One Legrand", or something similar.

And it's really hilarious, for this "Little One" is near 80 years old! :haha:

But there is a thing I don't understand...In which way "Chiquita" and "Dole" are related to BANANAS? These are kind of bananas? :think: I've never heard about them.

Vanesa.

Here is the commercial that will explain everything

May I slip into the conversation and say that people name their kids some fruity names? Where do they shop for clothes at? Banana Republic?
