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

If we won’t get fined for using names that are also vegetables, Aubergine is a pretty name.

Is pumpkin a fruit ? I used to call my girl that when she was little. Some people probably did think it was her real name Grin
If I had a boy.... Pumpkin is unisex I reckon !

Mango for a boy.
Plum for a girl.

Tamarind is good - can be boy or girl.

Pistachio avoiding the Piss nickname issue could be unisex as well.

Sharon for a girl and Crispin for a boy

Quite like physalis too but it’s normally a spoonerism in this house

I would say Clementine, but since that has been bagged I'll go for Tangerine instead. Or maybe Damson.
