I saw something on Facebook the other day that asked its readers what their kids names would be if they named after the food cravings you had while carrying them. I thought it was funny, and thought I’d put it on here 🙂 Share yours with me, if you’d like!
Corn Dog is my oldest. Really, his name could just be “grease” or “7Eleven,” but I think Corn Dog suits him the best 😉 I can’t be sure if he’s ever actually had a corn dog, but I guarantee he’d love them! Less mess than an actual hot dog, which suits his particular “tidy” preferences, and the opportunity to dip it would win him right over.
My girly, Five Cent Candy,” is still just as sweet! Fuzzy peaches, sour cherries, watermelon slices, you name it! Also Nerds and Mike n Ikes. ALL the candy. ALL the sugar. Conveniently, she also loves this kind of food. She LOVES to lick the beater, eat cookies, honey toast, and the icing off the top of cake. Perhaps a more fitting name would be Chocolate, but thats not the name of the game 😉
Unlike Five Cent Candy, Noodle Bowl is NOT a fan of sweet things! He’d far rather have his food without dip or sauce, and would normally say “no thanks” to dessert. He will eat a cookie from the bakery when we’re grocery shopping, but I’m pretty sure he only eats it because his little brother scarfs his own down and then tries desperately to eat his. Before little brother was around, Noodle Bowl would happily accept his cookie, and hold it until it disintegrated and we had to take it away.
Chicken Bowl suits his name very well. Chicken Bowl could really be named KFC, or Colonel Sanders, but again, Chicken Bowl has more personality 😉 He follows the craving well, eating all the yummy hot comfort foods all mixed together without missing a beat. His face post-mashed potatoes looks like my face post-mashed potatoes. It suits.
Lastly, our baby who has not yet surfaced! You guys know I’ve been aching to share her name with you, and today is the day. She will be called Fried Mushrooms! Isn’t it beautiful? We went back and forth for so long between this and “Carrier of Butter and Garlic” but opted for what felt like the more socially acceptable choice. And what a beautiful little Fried Mushroom she will be!! I can’t speak to how her tastes will develop down the road, but so far, she’s a fan.
Your turn! What would your kids names be??
