Looking for inspiration?

When you’re looking for the perfect moniker for your bundle, you can find inspiration just about anywhere.

Some people look to celebrities, while others turn to their favourite TV shows or movies.

Nature is even a good source of inspiration, with new floral baby names always blooming.

But some people are now turning to their favourite meals and snacks in the search to find a name of their little one.

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow stunned fans when they announced that they had named their little girl Apple back in 2004.

And while many questioned their choice at the time, food-themed names have continued to become increasingly popular.

According to BabyCentre, parents are becoming inspired by their favourite ingredients when naming their new son or daughter.

From Saffron to Coco; Ginger to Olive, there’s no shortage of scrumptious names for baby girls.

Meanwhile, for boys, names like Basil, Caesar and Benedict are proving to be a hit with parents.
