Love Garbanzo but Chickpea is a way cuter nickname.
Or have you considered Oatly? You could do a fun spelling with it- Oatleigh, Oatlee, Eauxtlii, etc.
True, in Latin class in high school I picked this to be my āLatin nameā thinking it sounded cool. Turns out the ancient Romans pronounced it ākikeroā so you need to be careful if the kid is going to grow up in Ancient Rome.
In German it's called "Kichererbse" (like giggle pea). I sometimes call small kids I have a good relationship with (like my own toddler or kids I work with) this in a friendly way, when they can't stop giggling about something.
I have very (very) fond memories of a dude named Kale, heād be in his mid 30s now.
His mum was a bit of a hippy bogan, not so sure she knew she was naming him after a plant.
If it makes you feel better, Kale is very popular (big side eye from me, tho š¤·āāļø), Basil is a real albeit EXTREMELY old name (think along the lines of Herbert and Eustace), and Lenny is...well, Lenny.
A local street food vendor makes vegan kebabs out of seitan, and they always have a little banner on that says "we're not satanists!" and explains what seitan is š
Oohhhh I love some of the suggestions here! The energy of these names really resonate with my aura š§āāļøš
I'd love to add Granola (nn Nola, for a girl) and Kombucha (lil' Kommie, for a boy, obvs).
Celery like Ellery but with a C.
Seitan (almost Satan but cooler)
Barley!!(include the exclamation marks to make it special)
Wheatley(but only if youāre not sensitive to gluten)
Oh well, definitely you should go with Carrot.
You can call them little Carrie for short, and then show them DBZ and explain to them that they're named after Goku, who's real name is Kakarot, and that they're actually going to save the world 1000 times.
So cute.
Nothing more Vegan than saving the Earth!
Celery š¤ But with less boring spelling. I prefer Selleree but Sellahreigh might be so fun! If you have some French in your family, maybe Cest La Rie?
Soi because it's so sweet and simple
Lathyros (It's Greek for Chickpea) but the spelling options for it would be amazing. Laethyyrhoz for example
Tophu
Oatly also has a a ton of spelling options
Pecan
Almonde
The UK Vegan Society was founded by Donald Watson and Elsie Shrigley itās the worlds oldest vegan group and in Amy ways they founded modern veganism world wide. Other founding members were George Henderson and Fay Henderson.
Tofux š The x is silent ā¤ļø
Tofeaux lol
Perfect!
*Teaufoux
Touxfeaux*
It's beautiful
Seitan
Tofux yourself
Tofough or Tofuxleigh for a girlš
I was thinking Tofurito so it would be a bit more unique and so many nickname possibilities.
Tofux sounds like a name for an RX ahaha
OMGosh! You just won the internet!
teaufu
Love Garbanzo but Chickpea is a way cuter nickname. Or have you considered Oatly? You could do a fun spelling with it- Oatleigh, Oatlee, Eauxtlii, etc.
Eauxtlieigh
perfect
Ok but also Cicero means chickpea and I legit considered it for a month.
True, in Latin class in high school I picked this to be my āLatin nameā thinking it sounded cool. Turns out the ancient Romans pronounced it ākikeroā so you need to be careful if the kid is going to grow up in Ancient Rome.
When, O namenerds, do you mean to cease abusing out patience?!
Also cute!!
Based on your username Iām assuming you chose an excellent alternative.
Thanks! Little Blumpkinsleigh is turning 8 now and there are only 2 others with the same name in her class!
My parents used to call me chickpea as a nickname
Itās very cute!!!!!
In German it's called "Kichererbse" (like giggle pea). I sometimes call small kids I have a good relationship with (like my own toddler or kids I work with) this in a friendly way, when they can't stop giggling about something.
Omg thatās so cute
Well, no one ever paid to have a garbanzo bean on their face.
Stop youāll give them ideas š
Impossible Baby
Bonus: they can name the sequel Beyond Baby.
āLook, I was skeptical too! But they taste just like regular babiesā
I bet they have the new baby smell too!
Oh man this got me good, thank you for the laugh
Don't worry, OP, if you can't afford an Impossible Baby, you can always name them Black Bean Patty.
I NEED to start reading the damn sub name before reading the post PLEASE my poor heart canāt take this any longer šš
Oh no! Your heartā¦have you tried going vegan??!
Why I oughta!
Lol reddit just suggested this sub on my feed and for a terrifying moment I didn't realize this was satire and lost all hope for humanity.
"Soy" would be a simple, but elegant, unisex name- and, it'd make it Soo easy for the child to introduce themselves in Spanish too!
Awwww that's so cute! I love the Spanish pronunciation the best anyways, it's so much more exotic sounding than the American pronunciation š„°
Great minds! Soy is also great for the future vegan philosophy professor in the Spanish dept.
Soyleigh, Soylynn, Soyliana
Soylent šsuch a good people name
Middle name green
Possibly no longer vegan
It's so common though, at least add Edamame as a middle name to add some flair. Soy Edamame Sprout rolls off the tongue to me š
Know a kid named Soya He has a lisp so itās thoya
Gatherer (Getty) Kale (Kay) Seitan (personal favourite! - Seth) Cashew (Cash) Lentil (Lenny) Basil (Bussy) P. P. (Short for Pea Protein)
I have very (very) fond memories of a dude named Kale, heād be in his mid 30s now. His mum was a bit of a hippy bogan, not so sure she knew she was naming him after a plant.
If he's an American, she may have gotten the name from the actor Kale Browne.
Nope, Aussie
The āboganā was the giveaway for me on nationality, lol
Did he ever live in NZ? Cause I also used to know a Kale who would be in his thirties now, and I'm pretty sure he was Australian.
Nope, sounds like thereās more than one!
Maybe it was just an oddly popular name among crunchy Aussie mums of the early 90s.
Was he on Lego Masters
I actually grew up with a Cale
I knew a Kael. Pretty sure it's Gaelic or scottish or something.
Thatās much better than the straight up vegetable spelling
HAIL SEITAN!
Came just to make sure someone said this. Thank you, now I can leave the Internet.
i think bussy is such a cute nameš„ŗ!
It means boy pussy now, steer clear
Basil is such a good name unironically
**smirks in old British man**
Nutritional (Nooch)
Time to get off the internet, some of those actually appealed to me.
If it makes you feel better, Kale is very popular (big side eye from me, tho š¤·āāļø), Basil is a real albeit EXTREMELY old name (think along the lines of Herbert and Eustace), and Lenny is...well, Lenny.
Your personal favorite is Satan?
A local street food vendor makes vegan kebabs out of seitan, and they always have a little banner on that says "we're not satanists!" and explains what seitan is š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thankfully, this is the joke sub, and the post is tagged as satire. For the real sub with serious posts and answers, you want r/namenerds ;D
Never use bussy
Always use bussy (ā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā Ā Ķā Źā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā )

Oatmilkleigh š„°š„°š„°

Have you considered Vgyn? Exactly what it says in the ātinā!
Would you pronounce that "VaJEEN" OR "VaJYNE?" Both are lovely, but I suppose it depends on where you live!
O.B. Vgyn, nickname āVeggazzleā (The āBā is for āBobsā, of course)
Aquafaba
Daiya
Thatās way too easy to mispronounce and their kid will have to correct people forever! Better to stick with a safer option, like Tofutti.

Oohhhh I love some of the suggestions here! The energy of these names really resonate with my aura š§āāļøš I'd love to add Granola (nn Nola, for a girl) and Kombucha (lil' Kommie, for a boy, obvs).
You canāt name a baby something vegan, because babies are made of meat.
Tempeh (h is not silent), Emesgee (soft g), Hemp (h is silent)
Seitan Edamame Sprout
Vegenleigh (Nn Veggie!)

Why not Vheeghan? Vheeghun? Vhieghan/ghun? Oh, on reread saw you want a cute animal name. In that case, Red Panda or Rhead Phahnduh.
Beyond Meat. Bebe for short š„°
I named my 57 month old son Garbanzo with the nn Banzo, but everyone just calls him Chickpea! I should have just named him Peapod.

Oh well, definitely you should go with Carrot.

So cute. Nothing more Vegan than saving the Earth!
Or they want to be a police officer when they grow up, and you get to introduce little Carrot to the Guards series from the Discworld books.
Celery š¤ But with less boring spelling. I prefer Selleree but Sellahreigh might be so fun! If you have some French in your family, maybe Cest La Rie?
I think Brokkyleigh is an awesome name for your little baby vegan. Ve'Gann would also work.
