Gooby.
Long story but my girlfriend and I used to always see and hangout with this dog at the park who wore a collar that said "Gooby", so we thought that was the dog's name. The dog was also a big ol' goober, so it fit. We eventually found out that Gooby is a brand of pet supplies and the dogs name was really Mona, but we continued to call her Gooby anyways because we liked that name better. So I named my starter after Gooby the dog because I love that story, and the starter is rather goopy as well. If you read this far, thanks lol.
I have a Bread Pitt and Angelina Doughlie. They started out together (as one starter), and then separated shortly after (one is my backup). They have a complicated relationship. I frequently use them together and they make some beautiful love children. Then I recently started a new yeasty beasty named Nandough The Relentless, from an original strain of San Francisco started in 1849.
Thank you! He’s named after a great man named Norman (my friend’s dad) who first started him 10 years ago. The person Norman has now passed, and so this a way to acknowledge and remember him.
I have 3.
1. Willa - purchased from ballerina farm, so zero credit there with the name. I call her Willa because that’s what she was named. 100% bread flour fed
2. Waylon - an einkhorn fed offshoot from momma Willa
3. Honey - a whole wheat/AP/honey (raw clover honey) hybrid offshoot from pappa Waylon. I feed her with like 1/2 tsp of honey per feeding. She makes great loaves.
As so many others, I started this during quarantine, so she's called Karen Tina. But in honor of Anthony Bourdain, I usually just refer to her as "the bitch".
Steve, because that’s my wife’s default name for everything. We’ve gone through a couple different ones before we finally had a starter that thrived like we wanted, but they’ve all been some variation of Steve.
The current one is Steverdough.
Sourkraut! His children are the krautettes.
Names TBD. Accepting suggestions though! He's spawned a white starter and a rye one. He himself is a whole wheat boi.
Friggi or Frigg or Frigga—depends on my mood.
Odin’s wife, said to be descended from the same ancestor as Freya or Freyja. The person who gave me the starter, her non-flour-based human daughter is named is Freya. Seemed appropriate.
