‘I want to name my baby after bread but people say I’m making a mistake’

By staff4 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

A mum has been urged to rethink her child’s name after she confessed she wants to name her baby after a type of bread – as people think she’s making a big mistake

When it comes to choosing a baby name, it’s important to remember that you can’t please everyone. No matter whether you choose a unique name or something more common, there will always be people who judge your choice simply because it’s not a moniker they would have chosen themselves.

Usually, the advice is to ignore the critics and go with your gut instincts, but one mum has been left questioning her choices after people online told her to reconsider her baby’s name. The mum shared her potential name in a post on Reddit, and was told to go back to the drawing board because of one glaring issue.

In her post, the woman confessed she wanted to use the name Rye as a middle name for her child, but was concerned people would react negatively because the word is also a popular type of bread made from rye grain.

She wrote: “Thoughts on Rye as a middle name (Gabriel Rye)? At first, my associations were all positive (Catcher in the Rye, and a town I’ve passed by in upstate New York), but then I remembered rye bread. Is that all I would hear from people?”

Commenters on the woman’s post were quick to point out that although the name might sound elegant because of its connections to the classic book, Catcher in the Rye, the “rye” in the book title refers to rye grain – the same thing that rye bread is made out of.

One person said: “Catcher in the Rye refers to the grain, and Rye, New York, is named after a city in England. I really don’t think it works as a given name.”

Another added: “I mean Catcher in the Rye literally refers to standing in a field of rye.”

A third also shared: “I just think of a girl I know whose dogs are named Whiskey and Rye. Which leads me to the song. But yeah, I also think of the grain/bread.”

Several other commenters argued that the name was “fine” as the mum wants to use it as a middle name instead of her child’s first name, but insisted they would never consider it as a given name.

One stated: “I don’t think it would make a good first name, but I think it’s fine for a middle name.”

Someone else posted: “I think it’s fine in the context. If I heard it as a middle name, I’d probably assume it was a family name, like the mother’s maiden name or something.”

Another bluntly remarked: “It’s fine as a middle name, but I did immediately think of bread.”

While a fourth thought it was more suitable as a dog’s name, stating: “Fine as a middle name, I’d assume anyone with Rye as a forename was a pet.”

This mum isn’t the only person who recently considered naming their baby after a food item. One mum recently said her top choice of baby name was a popular dairy product – but her husband shut it down.
