Need an appropriate (?) Name

[JoeV]

Well, I told myself I was going to keep this bread making hobby relatively low impact and simple, and once again I have lied to myself. Mea culpa,mea culpa... Anyway, I have just set foot into the Dark Side of breadmaking by starting to make my own sour dough starter; 3-1/2 Tbs white bread flour and 1/4 C unsweetened pineapple juice (thanks, DW, for buying the pineapple tidbits in 100% natural, unsweetened juice!). If all goes well, gestation should take 4-5 days at which time it will become a living, breathing occupant of my kitchen that will require feeding and nurturing, and there should appropriately be a Baptism and a naming rite. I could come up with something meaningless like "the starter," but that would sound so wierd and sterile, especially when I go away on fishing trips and ask DW to feed this living entity that goes by "the starter."

That being said, I thought I would turn to you nice people for your suggestions for a name. We have a few days until the "birth," so we can let this thing run its course from the simple to the absurd. Once I announce that "we have starter," I will select a name from YOUR entries and so name this little yeast beastie.

Have at it and let's see where this thing can go. Oh, remember this is a family site, so PM me with any names you can't post here.

well, the former Hawai'i resident part of me wants to go with something "islandy", but pineapple is so common place nowadays....but it is for sure a "sweet bread"and will more then likely render some prime makins for french toast.

Ananas comosus or Bromeliaceae

Sometimes a "face" will help trigger a name. Here is a picture of our little yeast beastie that was conceived on 6-12-08 at 10:00 p.m. EST in a recycled plastic container that, in its previous life, held wonton soup from Green Lake restauraunt in Painesville, OH.
