MILLENNIALS NAMING THEIR BABIES AFTER FOOD

BabyCenter.com released its Top 100 Names of 2018. Jackson leads the boys’ list and Sophia tops the girls’ list. But the real story is this: more Generation Z and Millennial parents are choosing baby names that reflect their love of healthy foods. For girls, there were the names Kale (up 35 percent this year), Kiwi (up 40 percent), Maple (up 32 percent), Clementine (up 15 percent), Saffron (up 31 percent for girls), Rosemary (up 20 percent for girls), and Sage (up 15 percent for boys).
* My uncle Herb was ahead of the curve.
* Saffron, Rosemary, Sage … and “Welcome to the world, Dillweed!”
* “Meet the newest addition to our family – Sustainably Farmed Arctic Cod.”
* You know how baby’s heads always smell so good? Our baby smelled so nice, I wanted to name him Toast.
* How about “Al”? Short for Almond.
