[Opinions] Re: Plum, Peach and Apricot
in reply to a message by Jude
My favorite is Plum. As for Apricot, I've always thought that as long as the name is not offensive and you genuinely like it, of course you can use it.Also some other names with the same meaning:
Plum: Prunella, Prune, Mirabelle (a type of plum), Susina (Italian word for Plum)
Peach: Momoko, Momoka
Apricot: AnjukaFruit names in general are really nice and refreshing names, here some others if you're interested:Strawberry: Jagoda, YagodaGrapes: Grozdan, Grozda, Grozdana, Üzüm (Turkish unisex name literally meaning "Grapes"), Videira (Spanish word for grapes)Cherry: Cherry, Cerise, Kiraz, Kirsikka, Sakura, Sakurako, Višnja, Cheresha (Bulgarian feminine name that literally means "Cherry"), Gilyaz (Kurdish), Tuomi ("Bird Cherry" in Finnish)Orange: Orange (an English unisex name, rare but it's used, I've mostly seen it used as a boy's name), OrangellaBlueberry: Blueberry, Myrtille (French for Blueberries), Bleuets (Quebec French for Blueberries)Raspberry: Afanen, Malina, MalinkaBlackberry: Makvala, Kara-kat (Tuvan feminine name, just discovered Tuvan names, their names are really neat)Pomegranate: Anara, Anargul, Golnar, Rimmon (unisex Hebrew and Biblical name)Apple: Apple, Almila (feminine Turkish name that means "Red Apple"), Ringo (Japenese unisex? name meaning "Apple"), Crispin (a type of apple)Banana: Ketut Pear: Airi, Dardan, Perrry, Anjou (a type of pear)Other: Ephraim, Huckleberry, Juniper, Berry, Kiwi, Melon, Honeydew (a type of melon), Lemon, JackfruitSurnames that can be used as names: Citron, AppletonI got a bit off track but this was fun, I'll probably use some of these for my characters.

I really like Orange, but it feels too connected to the fruit to use. Don't ask me why I think that for orange and not for Plum, Peach or Apricot, because I don't know.
Myrtille is my favorite of the ones you listed. It's so sweet, for both a first name and a middle name. I'll check its page now.
I had no idea Ephraim came from a fruit!
Thanks.
