Chardonnay, Champagne and Stella jumped out at me right away though they may be a little European for some.
Olive is a good old fashioned sounding name that we don't hear much these days, well not since On The Buses finished.
The cooling fruit gave us a number of really trendy names, Peaches, Mango, Apples etc but these aren't to everybody's tastes.
The one I eventually chose for my daughter was Danone, a nice healthy sounding name and funnily enough we fed her with plenty of yoghurt during her formative years.
It's a real shame she's now a bit on the fat side but your shape can't always reflect your name, though my teenage son Pizza probably wouldn't have agreed.

Bert Olly, Trex and Florette should soon be fighting their way up the name charts, seasonally Quince might make a bid for glory too.

My fantasy twins would be Kumquat and Kiwi but i'm not sure what middle names would work with those....

If you are after a good study biblical name you can't go far wrong with Ham.

Yes, Ham is good and solid. A lad at school has it as a middle name -- His first name is Honeyroast.

I love the name ham, but unfortunately our surname is sandwich so we couldn't use it.
Kumquat May
My neighbours kids are Tropicana and shes just had a little Baby Bel
Just to add a bit of culture to the proceedings.... how about Yeast?

Aubergine sounds better, if you want to go French.
Anjou, Bacon and Herb for a boy.
And maybe Chablis, Arrabiata or Clafoutis for a girl.
Humous and Tzatziki for twins.
You can't use courgette. What if she's erm dumpy. She'll get called Marrow.
I had to drop Filou for the same reason. What if dd wasn't petite?

Hmmm I like Yeast but I think Candida has more of a Shakesperian feel.

I agree Lunatic. Names like Souffle, Raspberry-Ripple and Cheesecake sound really cute on little girls. But what if they grow up to be bank managers or solicitors??

If DS had been a girl he'd have been called Velouté. But we wanted something manly so called him T-Bone with a middle name Steak.
I've got a little Yeast myself, but I was itching for another, so we're expecting Yoghurtany day now. I think it sounds soothing.

Friend's daughter is called Naan. They were going to call her Pitta but thought everyone would assume she was a PITA.

Mouldy Brie and celeriac don't like their names too much, but 2 year old plum is happy.

Do people think the names Beetroot, Kipper and Marmite are a bit mumsy and dated?

DD is Harissa, the DSs are Meat and Anchovy. Goes so well with our surname . . .

Marmite is actually quite sweet and retro. If she had a brother he could be Bovril - quite strong and manly...
