I am trying to think of a woman's name that has to do with food, for a reason so frivolous I am loath to share it. All I can think of is Candy. Any thoughts?
And of course, there's always my best friend Chicken Parmesean. Her last name is Matsunaga, if you were curious.

I have been to a horse show, where there was a lady showing named Pepper. My grandma's name is Delite, which is the ending of many food names.

Hey, I didn't write the website. Not sure why the Spanish might be in there. It could be to indicate that some Spanish people name their girls Anona, whether it has anything to do with "Pineapple" or not.
I like the "godess of provisions" bit. Posts: 22497 | Registered: Sep 2000

My aunt is actually called Honey, but that's not really her name, it's just because my grandmother called her Honey so often that her older brothers thought it was her name.

Stephan, I'm pretty skeptical of that claim. I've had a decent number of people tell me that they know someone who knows someone by the name of Orangejello, often with a sibling named Lemonjello. Smacks of urban legend to me.

No, just that I remember an urban myth, or at least close, about a set of twins named Oranjello and Lemonjello.

Fresca contains esters of wood resin, so I suppose that you could say that the name Esther is a homophone of a food related term.
