It depends on just how well you portray your words. You can have a variety of different names to chose from.

Here is an example of how you shouldn't name your characters:

Apple was a smart student and she had a knack for climbing trees.
Apple did not fall far from the tree.

Yet you can simply take an imaginary name such as Auburn and simply portray him/her simply by the context of their name. Be blunt. Be brave.

Auburn, just as his name implies, had eyes and hair of that color.
Even his clothes went well when they were the right shade of brown.

But for your purposes, why does it matter? Many writers make up names, refer to object's names, or even fabricate one out of gibberish. It all comes down to one very simple rule in the English language: It needs to make sense. You can name anyone anything, give them the most amazing persona, have them do amazing things, and tell an awesome story but their name doesnt make jacksquat sense. As long as the name you chose isn't easily (and I mean easily) confused in a particular sentence, then don't use it. Or if you think it is the world's most fitting name for your character, then simply avoid using those sentences.

The name Apple would be a great nickname. Now don't ever use it in a sentence that alludes to anything that might hint Apple as an object, and not a person.
