Spice Names

Writers' Corner

No, not [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Spice or Old Spice.

I am inspired to create a family whose kids have spice names. Here are ones that seem acceptable so far:

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Tarragon[/name_f]
Coriander

Would you please provide me with other suggestions of spice names that aren’t completely ridiculous?

When I was younger we lived on a farm and we names all the sheep after spices (so they could be the spice girls)! It was quite amusing and actually paired quite well.

Our sheep were called
[name_u]Pepper[/name_u]
Wasabi ‘Sabi’
Mint
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Chilli[/name_f]

And here is some freebies I came up with:

[name_f]Thyme[/name_f]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
Truffle
Paprika
Shallot
[name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
Vanilla
Cardamon
[name_m]Herb[/name_m]
[name_f]Ginger[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Anise[/name_f]
[name_m]Basil[/name_m]
[name_u]Bay[/name_u] (from bay leaf)
[name_f]Cayenne[/name_f]
Chai
Chive
Citrus
Zest
Lime
[name_f]Cocoa[/name_f]
[name_u]Peri[/name_u]

[name_u]Clove[/name_u], [name_f]Anise[/name_f] and [name_u]Yarrow[/name_u] are my favourites among the spice names and the best ones for real life I think.
