My Darling Clementine: 11 Delicious Baby Names Inspired By Food
In the run up to Christmas, it’s easy to focus on the one thing that we can enjoy, with or without a lockdown: food.
Mince pies, turkey, brandy butter and crisp roast potatoes with optional goose fat – if you’re pregnant, you’re entitled to sit back and let everyone wait on you.
Enjoy it. But there’s more to be taken from this gluttony than you might think – you can also find some interesting baby names taken straight from the feast.
We have a wealth of baby name inspiration on HuffPost UK Parents. Here are 10 of our edible favourites.
