Would you name a baby after a brand of chocolate?

[Slippysnow]

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.

Wouldn't bother me as I've never heard of it as a brand

Cadburys no, Kalev I have never heard of

I was rather hoping for it to be Bourneville

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!

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

Terry???

Although doesn't it mean dog?

I have a cousin who was named after a body spray... No, not impulse, fortunately it's not been around for as long as I can remember

I almost thought you were going to say "Terry".

Kalev sounds fine though!

I quite like Milka for a girl

Turniptwirl I KNOW your cousin!

She showed me the old TV ad for her namesake bodyspray! I can't believe there would be many more people out there named after bodysprays, can there?!

Terry

Lila Pause is a major global chocolate brand. Doesn't seem to put people of Lila.

Godiva would be great as a girl's name

and Leonidas, Leo for short for a boy.

Freia is a Norwegian chocolate brand - nice name I think

Turniptwirl, is she named Limara? Did the advert go "remember my name"?

Suchard, no.
Lindy and galaxy - no again.

Kalev - fine

Thornton could work for a boy, IMO.

and Jacques is obviously fine for a boy.

I thought it would be Hershey for a boy which I think would be quite cool

Fine. Just as Kit (Kat) is fine!

at Kit and Kat. Very good.

Is it wrong I'm swayed more towards Hershey now ;)

Well, my youngest is named after a brand of marg. I'm sure she'll wish it was chocolate instead when she's older...
