Pick one for a boy and one for a girl.

The Law states that they must be called the full fruit name. no generic terms (eg Berry). Hyphens allowed. No portmanteaus.

My boy name: Mango
My girl name: Clementine

For a boy:

Loganberry, nickname Logan.
or

Hmm, are we classifying olives as a fruit? Technically they are.
Otherwise maybe:

or
Nance

Unisex:

Persimmon, nickname Persi or Percy.

The boy is Huckleberry, the girl is Cherry. We stuck to the traditional names.

I'm so sorry for the kid in their class called Ugli.
