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: Anjuka
Fruit names in general are really nice and refreshing names, here some others if you're interested:
Strawberry: Jagoda, Yagoda
Grapes: 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), Orangella
Blueberry: Blueberry, Myrtille (French for Blueberries), Bleuets (Quebec French for Blueberries)
Raspberry: Afanen, Malina, Malinka
Blackberry: 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)

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.

I really don't like fruit names except for Clementine but don't really associate Clementine with the fruit as it isn't the common name we use for it where I come from.
Plum can be really cute in some combos as a middle name. I've seen it used by others on here in hypothetical combos and thought how nice and unexpected it sounded but it is definitely not for me. Plum is too close to the word 'plump' and I'm Australian and watch a tonne of cricket and I also associate it with the term a "plum ball".
Peach is just cheesy and often used in a sarcastic negative way colloquially where I'm from. Like "he/she was a real peach" meaning that they were actually really grumpy/angry/rude.
Apricot sounds silly and like you're trying too hard to be different and I don't know what nickname you'd get for it. Ape? Apey? I would not want to introduce myself as 'Apricot' to people...embarrassing.
I really think food names mostly work if they actually have a double meaning. Like Olive works because it is also a color and also has the positive association of an olive branch. Clementine works because it is the female version of Clement and (I believe) was applied to a fruit later.
I can't think of any other 'food' names that I think are appropriate, especially in the first name position, for a human child.

I've got a grand-niece with a fruit-type name, an uncommon one. Still odd, though.
I don't think I'd better say what.

As a child I got an English children's book from my aunt when she was in London. It was the classic Each Peach Pear Plum. I didn't understand English at that time, but I liked the pictures.
Plum could work as a middle name. It has a nice sound.
Peach, isn't that used in English slang? Like "being peached" mening to get drunk?
Apricot - no, it doesn't work.
I prefer the Japanese variants:
Umeko - plum child
Momoko - peach child
Anzuko - apricot child
I only speak a tiny smattering of Japanese, but I think the names have deeper meanings in Japan, such as the apricot being a symbol of timid love.

I can only see Peach working the best, as it the name of the main princess in Mario!

Interesting selection of jam

Neither of them are usable at all unless you are naming a pet or doll or something else.
They make horrible legit human names

None of these can be used unless you're a cat or a stripper

No, really dumb ideas for names.

If I had to choose one it would be Peach. I have actually known two women called Peach. Well, one of them I never actually met, she was my sister's college roommate. The other one was a woman I used to babysit for when I was a teenager. I know that the college roommate's name was really Petra, and Peach was just a nickname. As far as the woman I used to babysit for, I don't know whether or not Peach was a nickname, and if so, what her real name was.
I actually find all three silly. I don't think Apricot is usable. I'm not a huge fan of Petra, but I certainly would rather be called Petra than Peach.

Hi !!!
They are so quirky but lovely!!!!
What could be their gender?
Peach is feminine imo. It has a very sweet sound with its final 'ch'!
Apricot? In Italian is named 'albicocca' and it is feminine. But the tree is 'albicocco' so masculine.
Plum is masculine imo.
In Italian is like apricot: the fruit is feminine (prugna) while the tree is masculine (prugno). But for me 'plum' is always masculine.
My favourite is Plum for a boy. Peach and Apricot are lovely but too sappy for me.
Byeeeeeee

I studied Italian for two years in gymnasiet (like senior high) and at that time I could make a presentation of myself and even tell people about my Christmas holiday (in past tense!). But I've forgotten most of it. The only fruit and vegetables I remember are ciliegie, pomodoro and mela!

Oh Caprice !!
It is so nice that you remember those words!
I love cherries!! And it is a strange word to remember!! Please tell me some fruit names in Sweden!! Maybe they are good names as Plum, Peach and Apricot.
'Pomodoro', 'mela' and 'ciliegia' (the singular of ciliegie) are not names at all but I would choose Ciliegia as a name.
It has a strange sound I know but it is sweet imo and I love a lot of 'cherry' names: Cherry, Cerise, Kirsikka ...
So...let's try in Swedish!! XD Tell me ... I'm so curious!!

How do you pronounce Apricot? If it's APPricot then I suppose it's no worse than Apple and better than Banana, but in British English the first syllable sounds like Ape (non-human primate) which is not encouraging.
Plum is too tempting. Can't you just hear the playground chants? 'Plum, Plum, stinky bum' would be quite mild.
Peach really sounds unattractive. May I suggest Melba?
