Tree names

[preggobrain]

I am desperate for an individual name for a girl. It has been suggested on another thread that vegetable names are the new flower names, but I don't want to surf anybody else's wave, tbh, so I am now investigating Tree names.

Is it a good idea?

I am thinking Yew at the moment.

Pumpkin has been done to death though, and Kale and Zucchini are boys' names, imo. I couldn't use Chard- what if she ever suffered a burn?

Pulses! That's what you want. Lentil. Or possibvly Lentyl. To be fancy. Or how about Puy?

They don't pronounce Kyle in Morningside, ME. Ever.

Good point re Chard. Kohl Rabi?

Puy is the little tellytubby, if I remember rightly. I want something unique, ideally.

. Of course not.

But perhaps they holiday in Kale of Lochalsh?

You'll need to genetically engineer a vegetable and then call it kjtyboug. This could take soem time. when are you due?

Unique? How about jfdgjkhn? I bet nobody else will have that name. It's easy to pronounce, but remember the j is silent.

(sorry)

Gardener's Delight?
Butternut Squash?
Boltardy Beetroot?

I could pop any day, Habbibu. I feel like a watermelon. But that name doesn't really work, does it? Hmmmm, I don't know.

If you go with Puy, you could call the next one Pea.

I like Pea, actually. But I would pronounce it Pia, I think.

Canteloupe? loopy for short.

I think Aubergine passes the playground test more than the others. Stick with that.

Is that not a synonym for mad? Not your brightest idea . I've got a feeling you aren't taking this seriously. I warn you, I am not to be trifled with

What is this playgrond test of which you speak?

Trifle - there's an idea. Be on the crest of a pudding name wave.

Trifle now? Make up your mind, woman. Sherry, then. Or possibly sponge. Or you could go all continental and try Tiramisu.

Oh it's the ultimate test of a baby name. Imagine your child is 4-8 years old. Imagine them at the other side of the playground, full of children and adults. You need them to come to you. Shout their name so that everyone can hear it. Are you embarrassed? Then pick another name.

Now you're talking lionstar.

Souffle
Mousse
Tiramisu
Endless possibilities there OP.

With Strawberry as a nickname? Rather cute actually, yes. Have you heard of any others?

x-posts, Lionstar! Brownie? Might be confusing as she gets older.

Shaz, that's why I thought Yew would be good. It's a word we use every day- who could be embarrassed by it?

I'm liking Souffle though. Or could it sound like she is on the windy side?

Damn, why is Masterchef never on when you need it? Sod all this traditional food stuff - preggo needs cutting edge. I'm thinking Veloute. Or Foam.
