Baby names

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.......

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.

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

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

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...

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.

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.
