HelpNutella ...
in reply to a message by queenv
Is a ... spread? sauce? I think it's European in origin and very popular there, though it's easily available here too.
It's a thick, sticky, chocolate-hazelnut kind of goo that is spread on pancakes (IHOP has crepes with it) or I guess, on ice cream or cake. I've tried it and it's so sickly sweet I never want to taste it again, but as I said, it's very popular in Europe, and presumably France.
I think, therefore I judge.

I'm aware of the food. My sister is a devotee of it. Perhaps I should have been more clear. I don't consider Nutella as a personal name a problem because of the brand name, or at least, enough of a problem to justify banning its use, in France or anywhere else. I consider the slang meanings of "nut" and "nutty" to be far more problematic, but this would apply only in English-speaking countries.

it would be like ...
Somebody naming their kid Ovaltine or Splenda.

LOL. I like Ovaltine and sometimes buy it, but just the word "Ovaltine" always made my husband laugh his head off.

All I hear is the commercial with the kids screeching "More Ovaltine Please!"

Especially when you could name the child Hazel, and get much the same nut-like effect.
Noisette?
