The article discusses the rising trend of food and drink-inspired baby names, highlighting opinions from experts such as Laura Wattenberg and Jennifer Moss. Wattenberg notes that while names like Juniper and Olive show a trend in botanical names, there is still hesitancy surrounding food-related names due to their potential stigmas. Examples include celebrity influences like 'Apple' and names from songs such as 'Sherry' and 'Brandy.' While some names like Rosemary and Sage are gaining popularity, experts caution against certain alcohol-related names due to lasting associations they may convey.
Wattenberg adds, 'Even in this era of creative naming, American parents are still wary of names associated with food.' The ongoing discussions about celebrity baby names illustrate this trend.
Jennifer Moss emphasizes caution when choosing food- or drink-inspired names, stating, 'you have to be careful' because these names can carry immediate associations.
