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?

Muffin, or Muffy.
I know a girl named Champagne.
And of course, there's always my best friend Chicken Parmesean. Her last name is Matsunaga, if you were curious.

Is there anyone actually named "Honey" or was that just that movie?
I think I've heard of a girl named "Pepper" but I can't remember where.

If you can call that a name.

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.

Anona must be Latin because it ain't Spanish at all. Piņa is the word, m'dear. Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
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.

There is Strawberry Saroyan.
I have a friend whose sister's name is Tootsie (although that may be a nickname).

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.

Eithne or Eitna (Anglicized as "Enya") means "kernel of a nut or seed". Grainne or Grania, from "gran" meaning "grain, corn".

Vidalia - onion, I don't know why anyone would ever name someone after an onion.

Well, Florida, from "Good Times" (and "Maude") was named after an orange.

Stephan was Orangejello's twin Lemonjello?
Posted by sweetbaboo (Member # 8845) on :
Would that be Peter Lemonjello?
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
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.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
No, just that I remember an urban myth, or at least close, about a set of twins named Oranjello and Lemonjello.

I think that the mushroom is "Chanterelle".
But there is "Crystal" which is the name of a cheap burger joint or an expensive champagne.
Tamar is a Hebrew name than means "date" (as in the fruit).
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
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.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Or "chantarelle." I must have been thinking of the French cheese, Chantelle. Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Plum, as a nickname. My nickname, in fact (it goes with my real name, you see, as in).

And when you get a bit older, they can call you "Prune".
How about "Rapunzel"?

How unflattering .

I think y'all should call me "Superfine."
