Fruit names

I know the fruit names are polarizing: [name_f]Apple[/name_f], [name_f]Plum[/name_f], [name_f]Peach[/name_f], [name_f]Cherry[/name_f], [name_f]Fig[/name_f]. But a lot of the varieties of fruit could make really good names, or are already people names. That could be a fun way to invoke a fruit if you, like me, aren’t drawn to the fruit names. It could even be a roundabout way to honor a month, based on when the variety is in season, or a person, if they grew or loved a particular variety of fruit. It could also solve disputes over naming styles “we are not naming our daughter [name_f]Strawberry[/name_f]!” can become [name_u]Chandler[/name_u] with [name_u]Berry[/name_u]-style nicknames. Please add any that you can think of.

Ambrosia is totally a gp of mine, and Moonglow would make for a very bold (but neat!) choice. [name_f]Alma[/name_f] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] are beautiful; I never would have guessed the fig connection.

This is a very cool topic!

Not exactly a fruit, but I have always thought that Girasol (Spanish and Portuguese word for sunflower) would make a lovely botanical name.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] another reason [name_f]Alma[/name_f] is the perfect name :heart_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I can totally see Moonglow as a middle name option popping up in the quick poll thread
