Fruity Baby Names
What’s better than the zing of a fresh strawberry? A tart lemon, a sweet cherry, or even a mix of all the bests in smoothies or salads, fruits can add a delicious flavor to anything. From the scientific reasons humans love fruit to appreciating the sheer volume of choices just outside your door, fruits are easy to be inspired by. If the essence of fruit and what it represents is the real spice of life for you, then a fruity baby girl, boy, or gender-neutral name is just what the doctor ordered—along with those daily apples.

Why do people love eating fruit?
Though it might seem like “because they’re tasty” is far too simplistic an answer, it’s not far off base! The way humans biologically interpret taste has a large impact on what becomes a habitual meal or craving. So eating foods that are rich in glucose releases serotonin, and because humans are biologically programed to survive, fruits became an essential and joyful part of life. Besides gathering glucose for energy production, fruits can also hold a lot of fiber, helping the human body to regulate its essential organ functions. Due to the body’s recognition of these benefits, serotonin is released as a little reward and encouragement to seek out these foods again.
How many fruits are there?
It might surprise you to know that humans—predominantly in Western culture—only eat about a small percentage of the world’s fruits. It’s likely that you can list a big enough number of the fruits that are common in the Western diet, but how quickly do you run out? Even if you’re not a fruit aficionado, you probably run out pretty quick because even though there are about 2,000 edible fruits in the world, we focus mostly on approximately 200.
Why choose a fruity baby name?
Fruity baby names are full of character! They capitalize on the delicious sweetness craved or the zing that tingles in the jaw, giving everyone in baby’s life a reason to smile when their name is called. Not only is there a simple joy in these quippy names, there are plenty of artistic connotations to revel in, too. From the robust grapes hanging from the gently dangling hands of Botticelli figures to the bright green apple in front of the face of the average but mysterious man, fruit has had a place among paints and palettes for centuries.
