I'm a chef and cooking is my life, but my wife does not like my choices for baby names. What do you think?

Jambalaya Oregano or Manicotti Tiramisu?





Of course, these are girls names.

Hahaha...thanks for the laugh :)





What about Souffle Calzone? Or Ricotta Parmesan?





Unless you're serious...than we have a problem.
Reply:Ha-ha - I had to smile at this. I typically don't waste my time answering absurd questions, but I couldn't help but think of this in terms of my family. My husband is a plumber, a very good one at that and well respected in his field. I just couldn't help thinking of the baby names he could have come up with if he used professional terminology as his inspiration. Glad I'm married to an intelligent guy.
Reply:What about the following options instead...





BOY NAMES:





Sage (after the herb)





Bannock (Scottish for "unleavened oat bread")





Shad (a common food fish in Europe and America)








GIRL NAMES:





Candy





Tamar ("date palm")





Cassia (may represent the name of the spice cinnamon)





Ginger, Anise, Salvia (spice-related names)





Edit: For a girl, you could also consider the names Roma and Brie. I didn't realize that there are so many real names that are food-related! LOL

Reply:If you lived in New Orleans those would be the perfect name but any where else it maybe looked down on why don't you go with fruit or sweet like





Honey


Miran


Sunflower in Spanish Marisol


idk I think you can come up with a good combo no pon intended





Also try it in a different language it may sound better
Reply:Plz dont name the girl a food name! The child will be teased for the rest of her life! If I HAD to chose from the two I would pick Jambalaya Oregano but thats just a horrible name, no offense...How about Alexie, Zoey, Leah, Willow or Kendyll? Those are regular cute names...
Reply:Your daughter doesn't need to have a food name just because you are a cook. My husband works in an office but we didn't name our daughter "Stapler" or "Water cooler". Why not choose a normal name so your daughter doesn't get made fun of?
Reply:If you love your occupation enough and like those names, go for it. How about Cocoa Tiramisu? I think that's cute, or Cinnamon Custard =)


good luck and grats
Reply:You can point out they are much better than Velveeta Dorito and Beanie Weenie.
Reply:How about making it a name that won`t get them made fun of. These are girls names for beautiful girls.





Candy


Pepper


Olivia


Honey


Cherry


Sherri
Reply:They are horrible names! Your career does not have to come through on your choice of children's names. Find some boundaries. These are real little people who need REAL names.
