New trend for unusual names

In the English-speaking world, there seems to be a trend of unusual and unconventional names for children, typically amongst celebrities and younger parents. For example, some parents have named their children things such as 'Apple', 'Honey', or even 'La-a' (pronounced la dash ah). Has this trend somehow crossed into the Spanish-speaking world? Are people naming their children 'manzana', 'plátano' or 'Caballo'? Or not? Or, perhaps, was this already the norm?
