        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)

            Oh that’s a great start thanks dface!
            The willow connection is great !
            And Bella for the orange connection is good too …
            Hopefully I’ll get more suggestions like these

              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).

                    There’s such a thing as a London bun, and also a Penny bun (I just think the name penny is really cute)

                      Both Penny and London getting added to my list now thanks!
                      So far I’m leaning London ….

                        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

                            sparky is also one that goes both ways. and I know this is more of a boy name but I like the name pickles lol
                            apple
                            biscuit
                            butterscotch
                            cinnamon
                            dumplin
                            ginger

                            these might be a bit obviously food related but it’ll give ya ideas, hope this helps!

                                  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)
