I don't know what to name my starter

[Debbborra]

I'm not sure why to name it. I don't know if that it will come if I call it. I'm not planning to send it any letters.

The thing is, it has delighted me by surviving and being all bubbly. So, I decided to give him a name. I thought maybe Lazarus, but it doesn't do it for me.

Any ideas?

Naming a starter is such a fun and personal tradition! Since it’s bubbly and has survived, maybe something lively like “Frodo” (from the yeast journey it’s on) or “Bubbles” could work. If you want something playful, you could go with “Doughy McDoughface.”

Or, how about drawing inspiration from where or when you started it? For example, “Autumn” if you started in fall or “Sunny” for a cheerful vibe. Ultimately, the name should make you smile when you call it!

What kind of personality does your starter have? That might help inspire the perfect name!

I think you helped me clarify in my head. I think his name is Dante!

Dante. Can I ask the reason behind this?

 

[Debbborra]

It means steadfast and enduring. I'm hoping it brings good luck. And it's a cool name!
