What would his or her name be? I read this thread in my babycenter birth club and I just about peed my pants laughing so hard. I tended toward sweet indulgences each time and I had no idea that Taco Bell was such a popular craving food.
My son Sawyer would have to be called Cereal because Cracklin’ Oat Bran is too long (though it goes better with our last name).
My son Milo would have to be Watermelon. Although, at various times, they could have all been named watermelon.
My son Holden would probably have been named Guinness for the unlikely beer preference that started with him. Heck, I didn’t even like the stuff before I was pregnant (so much so that I drank lemonade rather than free beer on my Guinness Factory tour in Dublin). Another possibility is Pumpkin Pie.
So tell me, mamas, what would your baby have been named if after your pregnancy cravings? Cheetos? Milkshake?
Julia would be Strawberry
Asher would be Bagel (or Cranberry juice)
Cute! Strawberry and Bagel sound like celebrity baby names.
My oldest would have been named Marmalade and my little guy would have been called Smoothie. Baby Marmalade has a lovely ring to it, though….
My girl would’ve been Lemon Tart – I was obsessed with anything sour and sweet with her, but the big pull was the little personal tarts they were selling at Target (of all places).
My son would either be named ice cube or McDonald’s hot fudge sundae!
With this pregnancy (19 weeks today, hurrah!) I would say Grapefruit, Tomato, or Quesadilla 😉
With my son (Zach), Grapefruit (again) or Cheese.
I have a friends whose kid they call Spud b/c all she ate was Baked Potatoes when she was preggo.
Ice cream all the way. Addie has such a cuter ring to it, though…glad we stuck with that. 🙂
My son Jackson would be French Fry, specifically Del Taco French fries…
I would have had a girl named Strawberry Cantaloupe.
My daughter would have to be Lo Mein. That was the only food I would eat during 1st trimester queasiness.
My son would have been Sunkist for sure!
The only craving I experienced was for peanuts. And it wasn’t an out-of-thin-air craving. I saw or heard a commercial for peanuts and then hadtohavethemrightthen. I think I’ve called my son “Peanut” a few times.
My son James would be Ice Cold Water… Ice Ice Baby! 🙂
My son would have been named Milk.
Stone-fruit
My son (also Holden) would be named Animal Crackers…not the kind in the zoo box, the Stauffers kind with the glossy light pink frosting!
My daughter…Cheeseburger!
I would have two kids called Ginger Beer then, which is funny because I’m an engineer and it’s also a nickname for engineers!
Both of my kids (plus the baby I’m currently ~30 weeks pregnant with) would be called Ice. This pregnancy is the first one during which I’ve craved food items. Mostly sugary stuff. Too bad “Sugar” would probably get a little boy teased…
Well, my twins would have been Chocolate Milk and Fish ‘n’ Chips.
I ate a million clementines…too bad this is a girl’s name, and wouldn’t fit my little man!
Our Grandson Archie would be Turkey Drumme and our Granddaughter Lucy would be tomato!
Orangina. Not so bad, I guess. Love your site!
My first son would be “Peaches.” My second would be “Nutella.”
My sweet little one might have been named Tomato or Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart! Haha this cracks me up!!
Thanks for a giggle.

CJ would be ‘Pop Tart’… Hmm, not really appropriate for a boy. Maybe ‘Epic Burger’ (a great burger place in chicago) instead!
Either Cream Cheese, Pudding or Peaches!
little Chicken Nugget
My daughter would be “Twinkie”
Our little guy would be Curry Nutty Bar….green curry and nutty bars were about all I could stomach in the first trimester. And yes, I ate them together!
My first son, Henry, would have been named Ketchup. I didn’t have any cravings with my second child (Toby).
Sour Patch Kids or Peaches!
My son would been Red as in red peppers (raw) with ranch dressing
My first would have been Cream Cheese. My current pregnancy has been dubbed Rosarita after my love of retried beans 🙂
My firstborn would have been Chicken Tikka Masala and I don’t remember much about my second pregnancy because I was chasing a toddler. But we did actually call him “Ricecake” in utero because my daughter looked at the ultrasound and said, “Oh, a ricecake!”
I love this! My son Canyon would have many different names depending on the trimester but the big ones would be Asparagus or choco shake.
Definitely would have been Hamburger. Which would have been funny with our last name of Mann! 🙂
I had no cravings 🙁 I allowed myself to eat all the queso I wanted though, so maybe queso.
Malone would have been Orange…I literally had to limit how many I could eat a day, or Cocoa Puff.
Pizza, which I think her father would have loved!
My son would have been Orange or 7-Layer Burrito!
Emma would have been Jelly Bean! Yum!
Cheesy Tator Tot….or perhaps No-Bake Cookie. Oh, or Deep Fried Corn Dog. There was a reason I gained 45 lbs…ha!
Jamba Juice, Saltine or Dr. Pepper …. Not so much because I craved them, but they’re all I could keep down for the first 4 months. Then maybe Milkshake. 🙂
I never had any crazy cravings- so I guess my kids would be nameless! Eek- glad i didn’t have to really name them that way 🙂
My little boy would be named Pepperoni Pizza. I didn’t even like pepperoni until I was pregnant and now, a year and half later it’s still the go-to topping for my pizza pie.
Steak with guac!
This is hilarious! My first would be named Curry and my second Waffles. LOL!!
Maisy would be bean and cheese burrito (yes, taco bell). Maren would be deviled egg.
🙂
My bun in the oven would have to be Dairy (i never drank milk and now i chug it all day) or Berry or Peach… or if i’m being really honest Lil Debbie 🙂
Baby 5.0 would be named Lemonade, or Salt.
Daughter #2 would be Biscuits and Gravy 😉
My little guy would have been Pineapple Strawberry. I ate so much of these two I joked he’d come out fruit scented
I would have to admit that my son would be called Taco Bell, to be more specific-tostada. I don’t really eat a lot of Taco Bell, but man, when I was pregnant, I wanted it everyday!
My first girl would be clementine, which we actually considered. But the twins would either be Hagen and Daz, or velveta and ramen. That wouldn’t be so cute. We thought jokingly about naming them after what we would no longer have: cash and descanza (Spanish for rest).
Reuben (like the sandwich)
Fearful of the deli-meat ban, I only indulged it once – but made do with my own turkey, sauerkraut, & swiss when I was preggo. Weirdest craving ever – sauerkraut.
Mustard. Most definitely. I ate it on almost anything. Especially on eggs for some reason. And now it just doesn’t taste as good
Waffles! Definitely waffles. They were the only thing I could eat and keep down nearly my entire pregnancy. Although now I can’t even stand to look at them because I ate them too much :/
Oh, Tuna Casserole (as a first + middle name that really DON’T go with his last).. or Watermelon!
My first would have to be called ketchup – actually they could both be called that. Ketchup or BBQ pulled pork.
My son might be named burrito or Carne Asada. Or green olives!
My son would be Raisin, Sour Patch Kids, or Chocolate Almonds.
Papa John
Clementine, Cupcake, and Ice Cube! Hey those are practically real names!!
probably Orange. I wanted orange chocolate and orange slice gummy candies. A lot. Or maybe Red Robin.
The first would definitely be “fries and a shake” and while we could argue that the second would have the same name, his real name should be “veggie sandwich”
Definitely Dairy Queen!
Pellegrino, for sure. Kind of fancy sounding?
My girls would be Brownie and Gummy Bear.
