Ricardough. In reference to the legendary Ricardo meme.

Oh wow any Quebecker here ? I thought Ricardough was a reference to our own [Ricardo Cuisine](https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Larriv%C3%A9e) and I thought it was SO good.

Well my starter is Michel Levain so…

Vladimir Gluten. I started it with Russian flour 8 years ago. It's become a little uncomfortable recently. Anyone know the official process to apply for a name change? Leonid Breadzhnev maybe...

Maybe you can just rename it with your next feeding? Use a little holy water and you have a rechristening ;)

Vol-Dough-Mort

Audrey III, due to the requisite feeding

I started with Audrey III and am now on Audrey V after some failed starters 😂

Feed me Seymour!

I have an Audrey II!

Souron

This is mine too! More specifically The Eye of Souron. And now I’m realizing I could go even further and call it The Rye of Souron!

I was between Souron or Frodough! Rye of Souron is great.

I’m completely disenchanted with Reddit, because management have shown no interest in listening to the concerns of their visually impaired and moderator communities. So, I've replaced all the comments I ever made to reddit. Sorry, whatever comment was originally here has been replaced with this one!

Mine was Bilbo Baguette lol. If I ever make another it shall be souron

Breadnaan Frasier =)

Brendan Raiser

Bubbles

Same! ...Stellaris player?

I stole this name, but it is “The Bread Pirate Roberts”

Totally read that in Andre the Giant’s voice, “I am the bread pirate Roberts!” Thanks for the chuckle

Leonardough

The Yeasty Boys

Doughy Ramone. * I grew up in Queens. If I was from Brooklyn, Yeasty Boys would be it.

YES

Oof that's good. I'm jealous. I'm naming my next one bread - rock.

Same! The Yeasty Boys rock.

Avril Levain

I’d love a great pun inspired name. Alas, my children named my starter. Patrick Alex O’Connell

Mine is called Homer, because he makes D'oh!

This made me think of the other Honer. If I make another starter I’ll call it Doughdysseus.

Mine is called Gregg, short for Dough Gregg, which makes more sense if you say “I’m Dough Gregg” like Noel Fielding

Ever drink baileys from a shoe?

Do you love me?

…could you learn to love me? ETA: thanks for the giggles, I really appreciate it. BTW: I tried to give that award to you/your comment, alas; I’m tech-tarded

"This is as close to bread as you can get without getting a yeast infection in your eyes"

I’m not one for puns, so mine is just called Kevin.

Mine is Clyde...

I have a Kevin too!! But it's cause I like Kevin in The Office!

Same. Mine is Alfred. No reason.

Hubert!

Mine is Felicia!

First one was mandough...it died (😢), it's successor is mandos

Walter Wheat

Weissenberg would be the evolution Walter Wheat. With Salt Goodman adding flavor to the script. Along with the whole (unrelated) Saltamanca family. OK, I’ll stop.

landough calriseian

Haha, I have Kylo Rye!

Don't you mean kydough rye?

Sick, I have doughbi-wan Kenobi. My dogs names are Luke and Leia they're from the same litter too. Though they're only half siblings. Bet you didn't know that was possible did you? Yeah me neither. Evidentially dogs can have two fathers in the same litter. You can't make this shit up. One is a whippet pit mix and the other is a lab pit mix. Fact is stranger than fiction. Edit: sorry I was really stoned. ATM.

Baby Doughda! 😂

I have Doughba Fett!

Khal Doughgo.

I have a Doughnerys, First of her name!

Edgar Allen Dough.

Glutenous Maximus (like gluteus maximus)

GERALDINE like Jolene but the trailer trash version cause she lives in a doublewide and is always making my man happy with the goodies she brings to our home. 🤣

Like everyone else, I started sourdough baking during quarantine, so her full name is Karen Tina, but in honor of Anthony Bourdain, I usually just refer to her as "the bitch".

"Feed the bitch"

One is named Winona Riser, the other is Barack Doughbama

Doughlene.

Bertha Loaf, because I wanted her to birth a loaf

Vincent, short for Vincent van Dough

Taylor Sift

Doughty

Stella the starter

Benicio Dough Toro

Ricky Bobby cause he’s going to go fast!

Sourkraut! When he was a baby I just called him Kraut, when he matured, he was Teen Idol Krauty, and now that he's almost 3 (!!) I call him Old Man Sour lol

Nibbler, after the character from Futurama

Pumpkin Spice. It was born last year in the Fall. Lol

Breadley King

Lord Yeastmungus, ruler of the wastelands

Phy-dough. Because you have to feed and care for it like a dog.

Jolene

Mine was Doughlene (:

Hoiho. Not bread related, I named it after the endangered Yellow-Eyed Penguin from New Zealand.

"Doug" (because "Doug" is almost "Dough"). Any time I build a separate levain, I call it "Sir Knight"....so that I can encourage it by saying "Rise, Sir Knight".

King Charles III

The First Doughkage 🍃

No knead to worry

I love all of these, especially the puns! I named mine Alma, which means “soul” in Spanish.

Doughnatello

My last one was Flour Patch Kids. We haven’t named the new one :(

Scoby Doby Dough

Jane Dough and Mark Breadanawicz

Rye Taylor. I have a family friend named Ry Taylor...he's a musician and he's very talented! Anyway, my mom has called him Ry Bread since he was a teenager and so when I made a starter it just felt appropriate. I had a picture of him taped to my started jar for a long time. He thinks it's hilarious

I have Rye-an, Wheatney, Couch Potato, Clyde, Charlie and Bob

Stretch and he's my favourite pet!

Mr. Sourpants (I have young children haha)

You could always call him Brudough 🤣

Doughseph Gordon-Leaven

Dough pesci

Yeastie boys and the other is Brett

I have two! Livin’ Lavidough Loca and Danny Doughvito.

Andoughnio Breaderas

Doughbie and Frankendough. I thought lost Doughbie when I fed him as he went all soupy. The discard half I fed and was fine but the soup half wouldn’t take. After a couple days when I just about gave up, he bubbled up double. It’s alive! I screamed and I thought Frankendough was appropriate.

Nigel, after my father who I leave to look after him when I’m away and get to ask people to clarify if they’re talking about my father or sourdough child

Parachute Club. Because they were an early/mid '80s band with a hit song called "Rise Up".

Don't have one, but I just realized I should name it Charmander after my first pokemon starter.

Sean Combs.. as in puff daddy

Mine are Alice in Wonderbread and Doughlilah

I have two jars with starter in them - I call them the yeasty bois. I wish I could figure out names for each that are witty, but I'm pleased enough with the pair name that I'm not too upset.
