(no subject)

What do people think of food based names and have you heard any in real life that aren't the norm?

I went to school with three sisters named Apples, Orange and Peaches and i never thought it was a big deal.

I like Honey and Poppy but maybe just as (short-lived) nick names? Any others out there?

i used to babysit for these kids and their mom's name was plummy.

i don't know if it was a nickname for something else though...but i thought it was cute.

this is only funny to me because I just saw you post in food_porn :)

I knew a girl named Basil.. i thought it was cool

:) i was going to create a pregnancy related log in but the hormones got the better of me and i couldn't be bothered :)

So as you can see, food is one of my fave things :) but i don't think it's enough of one to warrant naming my soon to be after food. Unless it's really cool :)

I know a basil too :)

No I don't know if I could name my child something food related either. Do you have any names picked out yet?

Ones I've heard:
Cinnamon
Cherry

Ones I like:
none

Oh and i just remembered twin daughters of my mom's friend, Pepper and Sugar.

Hmm.

I used to really like Cherry but I've gone off it a bit.
Honey and Poppy are cute on the right people.

Cokie (i.e. Cokie Roberts, newsperson) isn't really a food, but it sound like Coke. I like the sound of it, just to repeat it until I get sick of it. But I couldn't use it as a name. Poppy is fun to say, too.

I went to school with a Cherry. I've also known Brandy's and Sherry's (drinks count?) I've known Cayenne and Candy and Ginger.

There's a Dulce at the school I work at now...that's Spanish for "Sweet".

There's Pam. Ha ha haaa, the spray stuff. :)

People seem to have an obsession with Bree (brie), Colby, Jack, and Monterrey. Why not throw Chedder and Mozzi in there for good measure.

I know a Candy, Ginger, Cherry, Brie (yep, spelled like the cheese), Cookie, and of all things, a Pumpkin.

I've known a Cinnamon and a Curry (like the pepper).

Jamie Oliver (a chef on food network) their daughter is named PoppyHoney (as her first name)

cheri (pronounced like cherry)- i thought it was kinda cute

I went to high school with a Vodka. But my personal faves have to be Orangejello (Uh-ron-zuh-low) and Lemonjello (Luh-mon-zuh-low).

Urban legend, much?

For real.

Doesn't make it any less funny.

i like sage and bree.

Sage and Apricot

I know ...
Basil
Cookie (his nickname though)
Madeline (as in the cakes)
Rosemary
Sage [obviously ;)]

There's also some slightly famous writer chick named Strawberry. And Peaches Geldof of course.

I like Peaches and Apple.. but only combinated with a middle name that is no food.
For example: Apple Elizabeth.

I think it sounds cute then.
But I think it is a bit too crazy when all of your kids have food names.. it's just over the top.

Honey- How can you be mean to someone named Honey, i think it's adorable.
Brie- My mum's friends daughter.. i think it's stupid.
Cherry- Friend Sophie's sister. Not a fan.
Madeline- Pretty, i know several.

in that movie/book where the heart is, ashley judd's character names all her kids after sweets. two of hers i can think of are Brownie and Praline (the ice cream.. not sure of the spelling).

ive liked apple since way before gwyneths baby, although i dont think i would ever use it as a first name. i also like pepper, and theres an author with the first name plum, a name i like a lot. i have a friend named penelope but has been called poppy her whole life, which is adorable.
