57 Baby Names Inspired by Food
Question: Where were you when you found out Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin named their eldest child Apple? FWIW, I was in a corner deli with my dad on a Sunday morning and read it on the cover of the New York Post. It’s stuck with me ever since.
While The Post roasted the now “consciously uncoupled” couple’s choice, the name was the talk of the town for…ever, really. I mean, we’re still talking about it now! And it’s actually hella cute.
But you don’t have to be a celebrity of Gwyneth caliber to give your baby a name inspired by your favorite fruit, herb, or five-course meal! In fact, names inspired by food are probably more common than you think. I mean, it’s hard picking out a name for a tiny person you haven’t even met yet. So why not give them a name inspired by something you actually know and love? Like cheese. No, I’m not telling you to name your child Parmigiano. But Brie? Now that’s adorable as f*ck and the star of every charcuterie board.
Below, find 57 of the best baby names inspired by food that aren’t weird (no one’s gonna name their kid Broccoli).
Looking for more baby name inspo? Subscribe to Cosmo Unlocked for all the popular, unique, and downright adorable names for your wee one.
1. Rye
A cute gender-neutral name for bread lovers everywhere. It’s usually short for Ryder, but Rye is cute enough to stand on its own.
2. Plum
This fruity name just oozes chicness in a way that other food-inspired names don’t. I know I’m right. Bonus points if you dress them in purple.
3. Poppy
Whether you’re a fan of the British socialite Poppy Delevingne or you really like poppyseed bagels, this choice is aggressively cute.
4. Java
I know you’ve joked about naming your firstborn Coffee during an 8 a.m. meeting, but what if I told you that you actually could without getting weird looks? Java is the perfect ode to your favorite beveragino.
5. Lemon
Perfect for a summer baby. According to Nameberry.com, around 25 babies are named Lemon every year. But I’m really in it for the matching outfits à la Kris Jenner and Penelope Disick.

6. Julienne
Okay, not technically a food but it’s a tangentially related technique! This French name means “youthful” or “sky father” and looks so elegant written on the page.
7. Graham
This super-popular name most recently ranked #180 in the U.S. It’s short and dignified, and it will always remind you of your favorite snack: Teddy Grahams.
8. Honey
This sweet name may have been made famous by Honey Wilkes, Ashley Wilkes’s sister in Gone With the Wind, but Susan Sarandon brought it back to life when she revealed that her granddaughter calls her Honey instead of Grandma.
9. Melina
If you’re not ready to fully commit to the food name with Honey, then go with this one! “Melina” actually means “little honey” in Greek. It’s perfect for that little touch of sweetness.
10. Maple
Currently, Maple sits at #801, but given that Jason Bateman named his second daughter after the tree in 2012, Nameberry predicts the name will continue to rise the ranks in the coming years.
11. Colby
This cute and quirky name means “from a coal town,” but most importantly, it’s a semihard cow’s milk cheese.
12.
A famous block of Brie. 15. Clove
This spice-inspired name is short and sweet, and it will certainly keep you inspired in the kitchen.
16. Ginger
If you’re not intimidated by the idea of giving your baby the same name as a Spice Girl, Ginger is an adorable name for any child.
17. Dijon
A sweet and spicy name, Dijon is the capital city in the Burgundy region of France, which is famous for its wine and, yep, mustard.
18. Basil
Sitting at #431 is Basil, which, as we all know, tastes delicious on all the things, including pastas, salads, and pizzas. Not exactly mainstream yet, the name Basil, which means “royal and brave,” has been cropping up recently.
19. Charlotte
Yep, the über-popular name Charlotte is actually a dessert involving ladyfingers.
Currently, it’s ranked #6, which is pretty dang high! And it’ll likely only continue to gain popularity thanks to Princess Charlotte.
20. Barack
The first name of our former POTUS—a name he inherited from his Kenyan father—is also a Hungarian brandy made from apricots.
21. Coco
Parents, including celebs like Courteney Cox and David Arquette, often opt to spell Coco without the “a” at the end, but the name sounds the same any way you spell it. Coco is ranked #499. (And for moms and dads who aren’t sure they want to commit, don’t forget that you can always use Coco as a nickname.)
22. Jasmine
Often associated with Princess Jasmine from Aladdin, Jasmine, which was ranked #136 in 2015, is the name of a spice and a Persian flower.
23. Bartlett
Fine, it’s not the same as naming your kid Pear, but it is a variety of the fruit. It also means “son of the earth.”
24. Madeleine
Calling to mind those pretty French cookies (and also meaning, quite literally, “woman from Magdala”), Madeleine is ranked #376. Note though: If you’re looking to name your baby after the girl in the old house in Paris that was covered with vines, she spells it without the second “e.”
25. Amandine
This name isn’t particularly common in North America, but it’s actually a French derivative of a name that is definitely familiar to you: Amanda. Amandine is a culinary terms that simply means something is prepared or garnished with almonds.
26. Bran
Whether you’re a fan of the fibrous cereal ingredient or the Game of Thrones character, Bran is a cute gender-neutral name that’s been growing in popularity in recent years.

27. Tamarind
This sweet-and-sour fruit is a relatively uncommon name, but that’s what makes it special. The name translates from Arabic to mean “date from India,” so your little Tamarind might have some traveling in her future.
28. Angelica
Ranked at #546, the herb Angelica makes for a pretty name. And no, you don’t have to scream “CYNTHIAAA” if you’re named this like Angelica from Rugrats did, but it certainly helps.
29. Fig
If you’re a literary buff, you’ll know that Fig was the name of a character in Curtis Sittenfield’s novel Man of My Dreams.
30. Roe
Whether or not you’re a fan of the classic sushi accoutrement, Roe is a truly adorable name.
31.
Sherry While the drink has remained consistently popular, the name for babies peaked way back in the ’60s. But that just means there won’t be three other kids in the same class with the same name.
32. Candy
With a name like this, you’d really have no good reason not to blast Aaron Carter’s “I Want Candy” 24/7.
33. Harissa
The spicy chili pepper paste is a staple in North Africa, and it’s also a very pretty name.
34. Daisy
Daisy originally was primarily seen as a nickname for Margaret, but thanks to loads of pop culture inclusions (The Great Gatsby, Driving Miss Daisy, Mystic Pizza, to name a few), it’s now a popular name all on its own. Coming in at #169, a daisy is an edible flower that makes for a tasty addition to any salad.
35. Juniper
Channel your love of gin and tonics in a slightly more subtle way.
Juniper ranks at #281 and is a great nod to the earthy, piney flavors of your favorite drink.
36. Anise
The spice anise tastes similar to black licorice (which is underrated!), but the sweet name is definitely a gem.
37. Dill
Not just your favorite kind of pickle. Dill is a solidly cute name that, of course, was held by Dil Pickles from Rugrats. (His full name was technically Dylan, go figure.)
38. Cinnamon
The perfect baby name for the parent who rushes out to get a PSL the second Starbucks starts offering ’em. Cinnamon isn’t super popular yet (it’s not even ranking on Nameberry), so if giving your kid an unusual name is important to you, you should definitely consider it.
39. Katniss
The name is famously associated with the badass Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games.
Hard-core fans will remember that she was named after an edible plant.
40. Cherry
Cherry is a sweet name for a baby, although it has fallen in popularity over the years. But here’s hoping that the Harry Styles song of the same name boosts its popularity again.
41. Pepper
If you’re a fan of the Marvel Universe, you’ll recall Pepper Potts, played by the queen of food names herself, Gwyneth Paltrow. We love.
42. Reese
Okay, first of all, let’s not even pretend that Reese’s aren’t the best kind of candy. And it makes for a cute name for everyone. It ranks at #159, and I assume we have Reese Witherspoon to thank in part for its success.

43. Benedict
Benedict Cumberbatch is the only person I can think of right now with this name (even though it ranks at #981 in popularity), but I can easily think of at least five kinds of eggs Benedict I’d love to devour right now.
44. Chip
Who wouldn’t want to be named after the best character in Beauty and the Beast AND the most delicious form of snack food?
45. Quince
The quince fruit itself may be a bit lumpy and oddly shaped, but it sure does make for a cute name for babies of any gender.
46. Barley
A subtle nod to the unsung hero of grains that brings us the magic that is beer.
47. Hazel
If the prettiness of the name itself doesn’t convince you, consider that Emily Blunt and John Krasinski named their first bb Hazel. The rest of the world has followed suit, and now the name ranks #42 in popularity.
48. Reuben
Yes, the Reuben is a delicious smoked meat sandwich, but who could forget the iconic season 2 American Idol winner Ruben Studdard? If you’re looking for a relatively uncommon name, know that Reuben ranks only #927, so you’re good there.
49. Lotus
The flower and its tubers are a staple in salads, soups, stir-fries, and teas, but it’s also a delicate name for an infant.
50. Saffron
British actress Saffron Burrows may have put this name on the mainstream map, but Saffron, which currently sits at #714 on Nameberry’s list, has seen an increase in popularity over the years.
51. Kale
No, it isn’t just the leafy green that’s having a moment. The name Kale is having one as well. The name peaked in the U.S. in 2008 after Shia LaBeouf played Kale Brecht in the movie Disturbia, but according to the Social Security’s baby name database, it ranked #972 in 2014.
52. Clementine
Both model Claudia Schiffer and actor Ethan Hawke chose the name Clementine, which means “peace and happiness,” for their baby girls. Clementine is sweet and unique, but considering it ranks #685 on Nameberry, don’t be shocked if there’s another Clemmy in your daughter’s school.
53. Peaches
Popularized by the late Peaches Geldof, the British TV personality and model, this name is both hip and cute.
54. Nori
Thanks to Kimye’s eldest daughter, North West, Nori has seen a steady rise in popularity over the past few years. Traditionally thought of as seaweed used for sushi, Nori is being used as a name for both boys and girls.

55. Kobe
As the story goes, basketball star Kobe Bryant was named after a Japanese steakhouse, which, obviously, served Kobe beef. Clearly, the name has resonated with people, as it’s currently #574.
56. Olive
After Drew Barrymore named her daughter Olive, the world seemed to let out a collective “awww.” And then everyone immediately copied the actress. The Social Security database shows that Olive had a banger year in 2014, coming in at #282.
57. Rosemary
The deliciously scented herb is also a perennially popular name. Although you might think of Rosemary as rather old-timey, the name has had a resurgence recently—as recently as 2014, it was ranking #454, according to Social Security.

15 food-inspired baby names - Today's Parent
Trying to pick the sweetest name for your wee one? Why not take baby name inspiration from these delicious foods!
Photo: iStockphoto
Have any weird or constant food cravings during pregnancy? Why not toss around the idea of naming your sweet babe after one of these delicious foods.
At the very least, this list of food-inspired baby names could prove helpful in figuring out what to have for a snack.
1. Barry/Berry
Like most names, this one has different meanings in different cultures. In Gaelic, Barry is a male-given name meaning “spear.” In English culture, the rugged name means “fair-haired.” We like to think of it as meaning “fat, juicy fruit.”
2. Clementine
Meaning “mercy” or “clemency,” this is one sweet name. It’s a classic, old-timey name, too. Does the lyric “Oh my darling, Clementine” ring a bell?
3. Cocoa/Coco
Perhaps most well known as the moniker of the woman behind the French design house Chanel, this name originated as a pet name—oh, my sweet Coco! Fun fact: Coco Chanel’s real name was Gabrielle Chanel.
4. Kale
Traditionally, this name has been the shortened version of Kaleb and Kaley. But thanks to the popularity of the leafy superfood, many parents are naming their sweet babes Kale.
5. Hazel
Okay, maybe this is a bit of a stretch, but we derived Hazel from hazelnut and think it’s so adorable. The old-fashioned name means “commander.” Julia Roberts’s daughter dons the name and, more recently, Emily Blunt, chose this name for her new babe—she says her and her husband like “old-lady names.” In pop culture, the heroine from The Fault in Our Stars rocks the name.
6. Chuck
Commonly a shortened form of Charles, this name has English and German roots. Famous Chucks include rock ’n’ roll pioneer Chuck Berry and basketball player Chuck Taylor, who inspired the iconic kicks. It’s also the name of a delicious cut of steak. Mmm!
7. Sherry
In French, chéri means “dear one” or “darling” (Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour,” anyone?). For our purposes, it’s a Spanish wine. Treat yourself to some after you get that baby out, Momma!
8. Colby/Colbie
Does anyone else get hungry when they meet someone with this name? If you weren’t already aware, Colby cheese (named for the city in Wisconsin where it was invented) is delicious.
The name itself definitely isn’t cheesy—just ask Colbie Caillat.
9. Cherry
This name doesn’t really have any profound meaning beyond “delicious, pitted fruit.”
10. Reuben
The Hebrew name means “behold, a son.” More commonly—like, say, at the deli—a Reuben is warm corned beef with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese sandwiched between toasted rye bread. Having a craving? Sorry….
11. Olive
Olive is the female version of Oliver, and we think it’s beyond adorbs as a baby name. Famous Olives include Drew Barrymore’s daughter and Isla Fisher’s babe.
12. Peach/Peaches
Known mostly as a nickname, Princess Peach from Nintendo’s Mario is one cool chick.
13. Rosemary
The old-timey name is Latin based and mentioned in Greek mythology and Shakespeare’s Hamlet. George Clooney’s aunt (who was quite famous in her own right—White Christmas, guys!) wore the name well.
Horror buffs will be familiar with the moniker from the book/movie Rosemary’s Baby. And foodies will be familiar with it as a fragrant herb.
14. Maple
Known for their hearty strength and sweet syrup, maple trees represent great traits for a little lady. This name isn’t very common—yet—but it was catapulted into the spotlight by Jason Bateman after the arrival of his little girl, Maple Sylvie, in 2012.
15. Benedict
Hearing the name Benedict used to conjure up thoughts of brunch and the weekend, but now it probably makes your knees tremble as you picture heartthrob and good guy Benedict Cumberbatch. The name itself is ancient—it’s a Latin name meaning “blessed.”

100 cool and funny nicknames for dogs for boys and girls
The appearance of an animal in the house is a great event for the family. The owners face a difficult choice of a name for a puppy. It should suit the pet, embodying his behavior, character, appearance. It is important that the baby hears it correctly and quickly gets used to it. Owners of decorative breeds prefer cool nicknames for dogs. They are sonorous and easy to remember, make passers-by smile, better describe the friendliness of the dog. nine0003
Contents
How to choose the right nickname
Beauty and sonority are two important aspects that dog owners rely on. This is a creative business in which there are no certain rules and patterns. Freedom of fantasy allows you to come up with unusual and beautiful names. Thanks to her, a large number of cool, funny nicknames were born.
If there are no ideas, then you can focus on the following criteria, they will make it easier to choose a name for the dog:
- Pet breed.
Many families have features that can give a push in the right direction. But this does not mean that simple cool nicknames are suitable for mongrels. A dog without ancient roots may look nobler and more important, unlike an expensive one with a passport and pedigree. The size of the dog matters. - External features. Often the owners rely on the color of the baby - white - Snowball, brown - Chocolate, etc.
- Character. It is recommended not to forget that the name should match the behavior of the puppy. It is advisable to observe the dog for several days in order to choose a suitable nickname for it. nine0006
- Sonority. For large breeds that require training, it is not recommended to give names that will go along with the basic commands. The nickname should be easy to remember and consist of a minimum set of letters - optimally 4-5.
Dogs perceive some sounds clearly and quickly, while others irritate the ear.
The presence of hissing consonants will make the name distinguishable even when pronounced in a whisper, but hard and sonorous sounds reach faster.
Name list for boy and girl
We must not forget the difference in nicknames for boys and girls. Each gender has its own set of names. They create a certain energy and give direction for the development of the animal.
Table of cool and beautiful nicknames for dogs, suitable for representatives of different breeds and sizes: Complex character, but correctable
If you don't like a beautiful, noble nickname or you want to be original, then you can choose a funny name for the dog. It will delight at every communication with the animal and give pleasant emotions away from home.
Funny
Such nicknames more often demonstrate a trusting relationship between the dog and the owner.
Funny nicknames emphasize the features of the pet and the bright features of his character and behavior. nine0003
When choosing a name for a girl, it is better to rely on simplicity and sonority. It is difficult to come up with a cool, funny nickname, here you need to connect observation and wit. Each dog is endowed with comic features that can be beaten, but not offend the animal and not make a laughingstock.
Ideas can come from gadgets, comics, favorite foods, things, etc.0622
Cool names will emphasize the charm of the dog.
Fashionable
If an animal is purchased for a lot of money and has a pedigree, then a simple nickname will not suit it. The owners try to emphasize the high status of the dog by choosing a fashionable and beautiful name. Of course, it is already written in the passport, but it is difficult to pronounce it and the animal will never remember what its name is - Charleston or Gordon.
Therefore, everyone is looking for a nickname simpler and more sonorous. nine0003
For small breeds
Decorative dogs are naturally endowed with a special charm. They are made for love, affection and tenderness. The owners try to give the kids beautiful, cool and funny names so that they warm the soul and cause a smile and tenderness. After all, it is difficult to be angry with a Bead or Bubochka.
The smallest breed is the Mexican Chihuahua. Based on history, you can give the dog a nickname: Consuela, Salsa, Bonita, Chacha, etc. It's cool to hear when the baby is called Shumka, Bullet, Knop, Plyushka or Mimi. Some nicknames have a German origin: Moni, Zuzi, Hella, Ricky. Japanese dog names sound short and beautiful: Aiko, Hikari, Hoshi, Kokoro. nine0003
Yorkshire terrier puppies are suitable for such cool nicknames as Margaret, Bentley, Adele, Sadie, Chanelka, Gucci. Well emphasize the features of the color of the dog: Golden, Yolk, Sunny, Choco, Cinnamon.
More nicknames for Yorkies can be found here.
From cartoons
If the puppy looks like a child's cartoon character, you can look for a nickname in the list of playful made-up names.

Jock - a romantic dog Lady - noble, graceful Goofy - a character from Disney cartoons In a simple and unpretentious way, you can name a dog after watching the Barboskins. It may be funny to call a baby poodle Artemon.
How to teach a puppy to a nickname
Nickname is the most common command a dog hears. It is better to start accustoming a puppy to it from the first days of its appearance in the house, from 1 month. All members of the family should be involved in the process, otherwise the animal will not obey them as it grows up. nine0003
Expert opinion

Ask a question
