You can go right down to ingredients such as Paprika if you want more variety

Mine would have to be...

Cocoa for a girl.

Cinnamon Danish

Sounds like a bond girl Grin

Omelette

Pain aux raisins.

Very classy, but maybe a bit tricky on the spelling/pronunciation front. Could go for Raisin-Swirl instead.

Meet my twins, Kimchi and Kombucha. Grin

(I swear I'm not making this up, I stopped by a market stall to buy apples and on impulse bought a box of 'vegan mezze' which consisted mostly of kimchi, and a kombucha (mainly because I had no idea what it was...)

Well I’m currently pregnant and just eaten a ritz cracker for nausea, so...

Boy - Ritz
Girl - Sunflower (oil from the ingredients)
I could probably also tenuously change barley from the ingredients to Bailey, which could work for either.

I’ll suggest these to DH at lunch Grin

Mines going to be double barreled

Lentil-Curl, Len for short

Peanut
Jam
Toast

I know someone called Jam (James) and Peanut is cute I guess so could have been worse!

Boondia · 06/05/2021 12:14

My lovely DD is named Burrito

Blowingagale · 06/05/2021 12:14

Cheese. I’ll put Cheddar Crumpet on the birth certificate though, just to make things annoying for them with a different official name.

Apricot

(trying to use up the THREE boxes of Apricot Wheats I somehow accumulated and which DS1 has 'gone off' - after refusing to eat anything else for months and me having to search the four corners of the globe to get them during lockdown ... ahem, sorry for that)

MikeWozniaksGloriousTache · 06/05/2021 12:11

@Soubriquet

Ah but what did you have on your toast?

Maybe you could get variety from that?

It would be a choice of Marmite or Lemon Curd (I always have one slice of each savoury then sweet) ... maybe twins (boy / girl) would work with those names 😂

I actually think that's a nice name for a pet!

Another Almond here - honestly it's not that bad as food names go!

Arbadacarba · 06/05/2021 12:00

Apple

Perhaps that's what Gwyneth Paltrow did Grin.

Ilovemaisie · 06/05/2021 12:00
