I found inspiration for choosing baby names by looking in my fridge.

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.

I don't need to look, just open the fridge and call the baby Smelly Grin

I've been shopping. I can now offer Pak Choi and Pakora, twins Grin

I went with Beansprout for DD1, then Frube for DD2.

By the time I had DD3 my fridge didn't inspire me so I went with the medicine cupboard - she's Lanacane.

I love the fact there are no other kids with their names at school.

I taught a child named Dijon. Honestly!!!

Oh Brandy Butter is lovely - especially for a Christmas Baby. My neighbour's little girl is Clotted Cream (nn Clottie) but I much prefer Brandy Butter.

JustFabulous · 20/01/2013 13:29

My new DD to be is going to be Brandy Butter.

Minimammoth · 19/01/2013 21:44

Have changed my mind. Vimto and Pepsi. Twin girls

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 18/01/2013 22:40

I have actually met a small Riocca (yes, spelled like that, I had to ask) at a children's party once. I know an Olive too, and she is only about 7 or so now. She was my sister's neice until the divorce iyswim. There are lots of Olivias, but Olive is just that leetle bit different...
(Both true btw Grin)

WeAreSix · 18/01/2013 19:31

I know a D'Cath Costa. A little underwhelming but pleasant enough.

LadyInPink · 18/01/2013 19:20

Does anyone like Canderel? I thought Candi/Candy for a nm but thought it may sounds a bit sickly...

WildRumpus · 18/01/2013 17:10

Oh yes - my French nephew and niece got 70's inspired names: Fondue and Vol au Vent. Their mum liked Coq au Vin and Vinaigrette but in the end decided they were a bit fussy.

troisenfants · 18/01/2013 17:03

I have to say we went Retro when choosing our two DD's names, Angel Deelite and Marie-rose sauce, I always loved the 70's.......

SocietyClowns · 18/01/2013 16:30

Oh no, Brie is far too common now Sad. We went with Quorn for a boy although I thought Vodka has a nice ring to it, and Gorgonzola Grin

atthewelles · 18/01/2013 16:30

We thought EVOO might be a nice change from the commonplace Evie.

For a boy we're tossing up between Bruschetta and Benecol.

Darksideofthe80s · 18/01/2013 16:21

Dh suggested Truvia, my Ucle Ben agreed, but dh's Aunt Bessy said it was too saccharine, I quite liked that so we are going with Sachet

EvenIfYouSeeAPoppy · 18/01/2013 16:17

How about Rucola for a girl? German for rocket (the veg).

JustFabulous · 18/01/2013 15:07

Still loving this thread Grin.

Still can't add anything else to it as my little only post was ignored Sad

aufaniae · 18/01/2013 13:25

cheapskatemum, in a word, no!

I did click on it. She was called nevergoogle... for a reason Grin

QOD · 18/01/2013 10:06

OM-actual-G!!

We've got a celeb in our midst!!! Holly Willoughbooby is an Mn'er for sure!!

She has a Baby-Bel!!

I was a bit gutted I didn't think of it when my dd Poupon-Mustard was born :(

We always use double barrels to go with our triple barrelled all single syllable surname.

Gutted

cheapskatemum · 18/01/2013 09:51

Is Dragon Butter safe? I have still never dared click on the link!

aftermay · 18/01/2013 09:35

I like nature names. Mine will be called Stork.

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/01/2013 09:35
