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

[FaxMactor]

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'm seriously thinking about Pesto, but DP much prefers Basil. Evian for a girl.

They will make nice siblings for little Warburtons and Leftover-Chinese.

[TrucksAndDinosaurs]

Kia Ora is designated for DD, to go with her brother, Sunny Delight. They have posh cousin Elderflower Cordial so think it will be charming.

[MurielTheActor]

Any child named after any contents of my fridge would have to go by the name of 'What IS that smell'....

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

I wanted something traditionally celtic for my DD so went with Dragon Butter

[Somersaults]

I cannot believe that I actually clicked that link given that it said 'dragon butter' but thankfully it was safe. Just proves that I've not learnt my link lesson on MN yet though.

[Minimammoth]

Ribollita, and Courgette. Those girls they just want to cook.

[Mooycow]

On a more serious note we did know a child called maleana , for those not in the medical world it means "blood in stool" !
However candida is a lovely girls name .
stay away from medical terms

[HSMM]

Emental, Branston and Cherry here.

[CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire]

I'm considering Tixxylix. Tixxy for short.

[TheOneWithTheHair]

I've got an Old Peculiar (ds) and a Hobgoblin (dd) here. We thought they would stand the test of time.

There's been a big revival of 1950s names around our way recently. On our road alone we have a Tapioca, a Rissole (pronounced Rissolay), a Hash, a Dripping, and not forgetting the twins, little Bubble and Squeak.

[WildRumpus]

I love those 50's names. Along with Tapioca, Semolina is very pretty. I also love biscuit tin inspired names: Bourbon makes me think of a strong handsome boy and Custard Cream is so cute for a little girl. Ambrosia is rather gorgeous too.

[racingheart]

Genius thread! I was on the hunt for a baby name and am really happy with this so far.What do people think about:
Unidentifiablegrowth-Inoldtupperware?
Could get Uni or Tuppers for short, which are cute? Do you think it's feminine enough? Would she get teased? Honest answers please, as the name has to be registered tomorrow.

[atthewelles]

I think that's a mouldy old name to be honest racing. I would go for something a bit newer and up to date. How about Lemongrass. It has a lovely fresh citrussy feel to it, I always think.

[racingheart]

You think it's too old fashioned, atthewelles? If it hangs around long enough, it could become trendy again. How do you think Stilton ever got so popular?
I think it'll grow on you, given time.

Lemongrass on the other hand, is simply lovely. There's no denying that. Oh decisions, decisions!

[atthewelles]

Well, that's true racing. I just think your DD might get teased while she's waiting for it to come back in fashion - Mouldy Oldie as a nn for example. I think its one of those names that's dated but not yet vintage if you know what I mean.

[monsterchild]

we've decide on Quinoa (that's pronounced Ke-Noah, for all of you plebs) for our next child.

[CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire]

No no no! It's pronounced 'Keen Wah'.
I'm going for Basmati personally if I have a boy.

[monsterchild]

Oh no cat puss, ours will definitely be ke Noah!

[CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire]

bloody people who can't pronounce food and how do you say The name of your other child Chorizo?

[aftermay]

I like nature names. Mine will be called Stork.

[cheapskatemum]

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

[QOD]

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

[aufaniae]

cheapskatemum, in a word, no!

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

[JustFabulous]

Still loving this thread .

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