  So IF we get a doe in future for Boston ( we are not sure yet but just thinking )
  What would we name her?
  
  Sort of names I like : food names – but not easily associated to food ones
  For example Boston is named after the Boston bun but most don’t auto associate it to that
  I thought of Brooklyn after the Brooklyn blackout cake but rest of family isn’t keen
  I like apple brand names : Braeburn and bramley will be future boy names for me but don’t help me with a doe name unfortunately
  I want something abit less immediately linked to food than cupcake or toffee
  
  I also like unisex names for girls – Marley and Willow are ones I can think of right now
  
  Any not easily associated but food linked names suggestions ? And unisex names suggestions?
  
  IF it helps with picturing to name – IF we decide to attempt a doe with Boston it will be a mini lop
  
  Broken orange or orange being colour of choice currently , or broken blue

  Willow leaf is actually the common name for a Mediterranean mandarins if you were going to be naming an orange lady
  There’s also Washington oranges if you wanted to keep the food/place name theme.
  Or Bali and Belladonna oranges (b names to match Boston)

  What about Chelsea. Like a Chelsea bun. Not sure if a Chelsea bun is well known but we have have them in the uk.I’ve just had to google what a Boston bun is as I’ve not heard of one before and I can see that they are prevalent in Australia and New Zealand

  I thought of that one too but know someone with that name that puts me off it
  But I do like how it’s a bun like Boston though … any other buns or cakes / bakery names like that ?

  I’m just the same with names too, I can be so put off by certain ones. What about saffron or penny. There’s saffron buns and penny buns(or loaves).

  I like London/Brooklyn, because not only are those foods, they also double as cities, just like Boston does!

  I know this name is nothing to do with the types I was going for ( not a food related )
  But I quite like Binky …
  What do you guys think of that ?
  My kids all called their pacifiers binky – youngest one is not long off a pacifier and she then called her new chewy ( binkie replacement as new comforter ) bikkie and recently gave that up too. So it is a name of something that is comforting and calming for us. And there is the obvious bunny binky connection

  Binky is a cute name. Is it common to call pacifiers Binky’s in NZ? I new that was true for the US but didn’t know was the case for NZ. We called them dummies. I just figured the rest of Aus called them that also.
  
  Some bakery items but all obvious:
  Berliner
  Brioche
  Beesting (lol) as in Bienenstich.
  Baba (as in Rum Baba)
  Bouchee (Boo-shay)
  Olie Bollen
  Blini
  Baklava
  Blondie (white chocolate brownie)
  Brulee
  
  Less obvious is Betty. ie Brown Betty which is another name for Apple Crumble.
  
  ETA: Missed one in the above list. Babka

  I don’t think it’s common – my brother just came out with it when he was 1year old referring to his “binky ” and it stuck – from there it went through the family and passed on to my kids years later. All 4 of my kids got the name from the older ones

  Names that are herbs are my favorite
  
  Girl: Rosemary (Rosie), Sage, Lavender, Marjoram (Marge), Caraway (Cara), Mint or Minty
  
  Boy: Dill (Dilly), Thyme, Tarragon (Terry), Oregano, Bay, Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, Coriander (Cori or Cory)
  
  But these are not necessarily boy or girl names, they can be either.
  
  If I get a pair of bonded bunnies, I really want to name them Rosie and Terry! (Or Rose and Thymelord LOL)
