OK, so apparently in answer to a question by a Blender reader, "My husband and I are expecting our first baby, and we’ve got the name narrowed down to Papaya, Chewbacca and Sandal. Can you help us pick?," Chris Martin of Coldplay had this to say:
"People make a big fuss over names: names of babies, names of albums, names of bands, names of people. The thing that everyone forgets is that a name is just a noise, and if you like it, then fuck what everyone else says. That's what it's called."So there’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby. It’s no weirder than Sarah, it's just that people are more used to it."
"So there’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby. It’s no weirder than Sarah, it's just that people are more used to it."
Woe betide his and Gwyneth's next child. But just imagine:
Chewbacca Jessica Parker Chewbacca Michelle Gellar Chewbacca Lee
The more I think about, the greater replacing "Sarah" with "Chewbacca" would be for the English-speaking world.

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 02:08 (seventeen years ago)

― S-, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 02:15 (seventeen years ago)
yes the punchline is that the person being asked the question already has a kid named a type of fruit

Wait a minute baby... Stay with me awhile Said you'd give me light But you never told be about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now its gone It doesnt matter anymore When you build your house Call me home
And he was just like a great dark wing Within the wings of a storm I think I had met my match -- he was singing And undoing the laces Undoing the laces
Hold on The night is coming and the starling flew for days Id stay home at night all the time Id go anywhere, anywhere Ask me and Im there because I care
Chewbacca, you're the poet in my heart Never change, never stop And now its gone It doesnt matter what for When you build your house I'll come by
Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now it's gone It doesnt matter anymore When you build your house Call me home
All I ever wanted Was to know that you were dreaming (theres a heartbeat And it never really died)
