No... Please don't redirect me to weaning.
Stumbled across My Imaginary Well Dressed Toddler Daughter, a spoof. She's called Quinoa. Its a fab name. If only it wasn't a super food.
Why am I attracted to product names!!!

Site is hilarious.
Quinoa. Am I alone in thinking this is a fantastic (sounding) name?

Everyone would mispronounce it. They would call her KwinO instead of KeenOah.

And you'd have to name any siblings vegetable names just so you had a complete meal to serve. Grin

Or Farro - girl or a boy.

catinbootz · 08/07/2014 10:38

I've always thought that Chlamydia sounds like a beautiful name for a girl.

divingoffthebalcony · 08/07/2014 10:45

Jesus christ that pinterest board is horrific.

DogCalledRudis · 08/07/2014 13:45

Lucky they didn't call her Porridge

BreeVDKamp · 08/07/2014 13:55

I love MIWDTD Grin her BFF is called Chevron Grin

TweeAintMee · 08/07/2014 13:57

I think she should have 3 middle names: Grain Or Flake.
You should change her surname by deed to Porridge-Salad.

Quinoa Grain Or Flake Porridge-Salad would grace the pages of Er-Hello? magazine with her famous mummy Ersatz Zeitgeist So-Now Porridge-Salad-No-Dressing-Please
