Should all foods have christian names?

[Mysterian]

After Colin the Caterpillar cake should other foods have full names too?

Walter Melon makes sense but might be confusing. Sean Bean is obviously correct.

Alliteration works best. You just couldn't have a Kiwi Fruit called Graham. Mayonnaise always struck me as Mary. And Peter is a nice flat sounding name ideal for Pancakes.

Anybody else or is it just me?

Are all foods Christian ?

Eleanor Quorn.
Jeffrey Pancake.
Anthony Marmite.
Deborah Onion.

Well, Verucca Salt might not sell well...

In the nicest possible way, OP, I think it's just you.

However, I would propose that you don't limit yourself to "Christian names". Go for greater diversity. How about Ravi the Radish or Ali the Avocado?

Ah but would it be same through all the supermarkets or would M&S have fancy sounding names like George Grapes whilst Aldi would be a bit more lowscale with Gary Grapes?

Sally Salt
Percy pepper and TommyK.

It should. Barry Bread and Graine Granary. Sheila Ciabatta. Yolanda Yoghurt.

I could waste all day on this. But I'm not going to. Byee.

Different markets, different names.

Barry Bread from Aldi.
Bartholomew Bread-Roll from Waitrose.

I quite like Peppa Bacon myself.

I only like foods with atheist names, such as Richard the Radish.

I can definitely tell you must be over 60 for using the term ‘Christian names’

These days it’s simply ‘first name’

Really? I'm not even 40, and most people I know still use Christian name. What an odd thing to be ageist about!

I'm surprised that younger people are still using that term, @MalingeringMary. It's terribly outdated.

Antonio Avocado
Horacio Horseradish

Thanks OP that’s my productivity gone for the day.

paralysedbyinertia, there are over 31 million Christians in England alone, so I expect more people use the term than you think.

I’m 32 and it was Christian name when I was growing up

Jesus Jelly
Mary marmalade
Joseph Jam
Judas jalapeño

Ah it should be Judas chocolate jalapeño. So you get betrayed by the chocolate

Ha! Yes! But the branding would need to be appropriate:

Perfect

Though I suppose there has to be a disclaimer on there somewhere. You know so people don’t sue

@Babdoc

Sure, but not all of those 31 million are blind to the fact that we now live in a diverse country where there are plenty of people of other faiths and without faith. A lot of the Christians I know try to be very inclusive in their language.

You mean yours don't???

However will I explain that to Andy Avocado & Richard Rye Bread?

Love the idea, but also agree with PPs - the term 'Christian Name' is outdated and first name or given name is the right term to use.

Unless you're happy for people to ask you what's your Jehovah's Name or Atheist Name, in which case, as you were!

The Church of England is still the established state church, and Christianity therefore the official state religion. So “Christian name” is perfectly appropriate.
Non believers, or those of other faiths, can call it whatever they like instead.
