Aubergine?????
Oh, if they go to any other English speaking country. Aubergine is what everyone else calls eggplants.

I live in a French-English area. They're called aubergines in French. So, her mom was fully aware of that association, haha. But I have to admit, there are other purple names I would have chosen before Aubergine.
Do you know if she had a nickname? I'm think Aubrey could work as a nickname for Aubergine.
That is... interesting.
She was aware of the association and still named her kid eggplant???Hahaha
I would say 70% of what makes Eggplant a goofy name choice is the fact that it's called Egg-Plant.So a lot of the goofiness fades in another language.IMO.
True.Although would you really want to be called Carrot?
