Would you name a baby after a brand of chocolate?

This is slightly hypothetical, but....

My family has Estonian roots and was looking at Estonian names. My favourite boys name is Kalev however it is a popular brand/make of chocolates. Would that put you off?

I highly doubt I will name a non English name but interested to hear opinions.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Terry???

Lindt? No it wouldn't bother me either as its not popular here.

I thought you were going to say Hershey.

No, naming after chocolate would put me off. No more than naming my child Jack Daniel after the drink would anyway!

Kalev is nice, go with it!

I was rather hoping for it to be Bourneville

Cadburys no, Kalev I have never heard of
