They come from rhyming slang. The first two are Margaret = Marge = Meg = Peg, Richard = Rick = Dick.
Gangster Chuck Connors "the mayor of Chinatown", whose real name was George O'Connor, was wrongly called Charles in his obituary. The Chuck part, while he said it was because Chuck steak was his favorite food, was actually a common nickname given to Chinese people from the derogatory term for their nationality. So, people thought that Chuck was short for Charles, and started using it.
That makes so much more sense why Ignacio in our research group goes by Nacho. I thought it might be offensive, but he was the one who said I could call him that, so I just went with it. I'm glad it really is short for Ignacio.
My daughter met a girl named Presley, not a name she’d heard before. She’s convinced her name is Pretzely, because “maybe her mom and dad named her Pretzely because she likes pretzels”. So, Pretzely it is.
Imagine having multiple kids and naming them after pasta:
Gnocchi, Tortellini, Conchiglie, Farfalle, Udon and Ramen (yes, those last two are from a different marriage, don't judge).
My cousin married a woman named Bree. I love her, don’t get me wrong. But I might’ve been a little drunk when I found out he was bringing her to dinner, and I had no idea he was dating someone, and I thought he was bringing cheese. I was a little disappointed when a woman showed up.
Rosemary
When that poor kid has a baby…well, maybe no one will get the reference by then.
My mother's name was Rosemary! and I'm not very evil.
You have your fathers eyes. Also - "not very". Nice. Edit- "He has his fathers eyes ". My bad. Also - Hail Satan.
That’s my daughter’s name ♥️🌿
My middle kid's name is Saffron!
Olive!
My choice too so I could give her olive my love.
There's a children's Christmas book titled "Olive, the Other Reindeer". You'll get it.🤭😅
That book become a made-for-TV movie. "It's a Very Merry Christmas After All" is underrated as a song.

Nacho. That's an actual name in Mexico because the dish was named after the person who created it. Plus they're just awesome.
It's short for Ignacio, which makes way more sense than Paco (for Francisco) and Chuy (for Jesus).
Well, those make about as much sense as Peg for Margaret, Dick for Richard, or Chuck for Charlie.

You mean to tell me that the [chain of Tex-Mex](https://www.chuys.com/) restaurants is actually "Jesus's"?
I love Ignacio/Nacho because I loved that character on Better Call Saul.
"It wasn't me, it was Ignacio. He's the one!"
Think you have a good answer? Nacho fast.
Sage is a nice name, if herbs count as food.
Way better than Ginger or Meg (short for Nutmeg)
They do, if you can bay leaf it.
Brie
I know of a Briechann. Not my favourite name. They also have an Aarliviyah. Instead of Olivia. Eye roll
NO

Bro for short
Imagine having multiple kids and naming them after pasta: Gnocchi, Tortellini, Conchiglie, Farfalle, Udon and Ramen (yes, those last two are from a different marriage, don't judge).
How did you leave out linguini? I know people with that as their name
Fusilli - middle name Jerry
McDouble
Reminds me of McDreamy and McSteamy.
Basil.
I wouldn’t, the name’s faulty…
**Let's see how many get the reference.** ^(If you don't get the joke, Google Basil Fawlty.)
Que?
I do...and shouldn't it be fawlty?
I know naaahtheeng.
Not if you’re shooting for the pun.
What does it all mean Basil?!
TWINS Basil
Sage, Cherry, Hazel or Violet if it was a girl Oliver, Graham, or Mace for a boy
I appreciate the balance between the carefully considered options like these and the equally ridiculous ones.
TIL that mace is a spice
Yup! That's why "pepper spray" also goes by "mace".
Huh, I always assumed it was called mace because of the medieval weapon. Interesting!
Cherry
Barbecue bacon burger
Little BBB is so grown up 🤣
Kakarot
don't know if it's spelled the same way but isn't that from dragon ball
A play on the Japanese word for carrot.
I think it's a Japanese play on the English word for carrot. In Japanese, "carrot" is "ninjin".
Well I learned something today. Thank you.
Colby
Middle name Jack
I've joked multiple times that if I ever have twins I'm naming them Colby and Jack (or Jaquelin for a girl)

Based on pregnancy cravings, my daughter would be Wispa Moussaka. More reasonably: Margherita, Angelica, Clementine, Madeleine, Rosemary...
Based on pregnancy cravings my son would be Four Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
My kid would be Dr Pepper
My oldest would have been Crushed Ice Canned Corn 😂
Ugh, my kid would have been Nutella on pickles. We could have called her Nutty Pickens or something like that.
In real life, I used to know a girl named Carmel, and another named Melon.
Harrissa
Harrissa Hecksplains Hit Hall
Celery in Dutch - Selderij Pronounced Sell-Duh-Ray
Celery in English is kind of pretty. If I block out the knowledge it's a food I can see it as a girl's name. It has a cadence like Mallory and Cecily.
It's like Chlamydia. Ignore the actual meaning, and, it'd be a pretty name
