We've had flower names, but what do you think of this?

I have been struggling to think of an individual girl's name, and was thinking maybe something like Foxglove. Now though, i've had a brainwave after seeing the word in Active Convos....

Aubergine!

It's gorgeous. But I haven't heard of any vegetable names that I can think of. Is it too Out There? The sound is just so lovely and softy and exotic. And people should be able to spell it too. Verdict?

Aubergine is 'eggplant' in the US.

Have you considered tree names at all?

I think Okra would be great

Don't laugh! I know of a poor child saddled with the name Aubergine!

The mother wanted to call her Apple but didn't want to be seen to be copying Gwyneth so opted for Aubergine as an alternative.

(bangs head against table)

I actually had to check this wasn't an April Fool's day post

Have you thought of 'frozen peas'?

Seriously, the actess Helen Baxendale has given all of her kids foodie middle names. One daughter is Nell Marmalade and one of her sons has 'mash' as his second name

sorry preggo I started that thread as a piss take as I was bored ....
