Food type names? Surely not!

[Pinkbump3]

So today dd points out a girl from nursery at the supermarket today called Vanilla? I thought I picked her up wrong but no her dad called her it! Definitely one of the strangest names I have heard in a while. I know technically its a plant extract and some would argue its a plant name but really! I just think of vanilla flavoured food! Any other food type names out there?

[BlueChampagne]

Well, Peaches Geldof I suppose ...

Apple

Milo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_(drink)

Clementine

[mayanna123]

Charlotte (potatoes)

[Kyrptonite]

DS' best friend is called Kale.

[Pinkbump3]

Ah well there are food names I have never though about! I quite like clementine!

[BuntyPenfold]

Vanilla is rather pretty.

I know an Angelica which is nice too.


How about Chelsea (bun)

[Moominsarehippos]

Had I named DS after my pregnancy cravings, he would now be called Hula Hoops.

[Kyrptonite]

I would have Coco Pop and Roast Chicken. Might look better with a hyphen though!

Anya (potato)

Vanilla is just daft IMO.

[Allalonenow]

Apple Charlotte, nn Custard

Vanilla is like naming your child mediocre

[heidihole]

Haha bootsy that's true! :)

[Ktay]

Have heard of Victoria Plum - and there is a writer called Plum Sykes

[bootsycollins]

No pressure on Vanilla

[barleysugar]

Are you sure it's not Fenella?

[Theas18]

Plum was the nickname of p g Wodehouse I believe.

Pepper -I know one.

Broccoli ,though I assume that's cubby broccolis actual surname

Cinnamon is pretty but nn cin is not!

Gazing on the tea table Danpak sounds like a loveable kind lad with Polish parents maybe-it's my lidl butter!

Though naming your daughter hot cross bun is so many shades of wrong!

[Moominsarehippos]

I was renamed 'Nigeria' by one of DSs little pals when he was in Reception. I gave up correcting her and got used to it.

[Pinkbump3]

No definitely vanilla I asked another mum from nursery maybe hearing it in a very broad Scottish accent makes it sound harsh! In highlander style gruff scots it's Vaaa-niilllahh lol it just doesn't suit a child at all IMO !

[nilbyname]

I know of a

Sage
Fennel

Quite like vanilla, what about paprika?

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Ricotta would make a lovely name.

[AllDirections]

DD3's friend is called Papaya

[MortifiedAdams]

Lettice is apparently a real name.

[MeerkatMerkin]

I know a little girl named Cherry.

[WormCanner]

Anchovy sounds nice.

[DessieLou]

Going on the cravings idea I would have Battered-Sausage & Orange!
Vanilla is the kind of name I would think is lovely when my brain has been hijacked by hormones but in reality I could never do it! It doesn't even have any decent nicknames she could use...Van, Nilly, LaLa?! Poor kid.
