Other Ideas for Naming Your Sourdough Starter
If none of the above take your fancy, there are lots of other ways you could name your sourdough starter. Here are a few ideas:
- Are you using a certain jar to grow your starter (ie pasta, coffee, salsa etc). Name your starter after what was in the jar originally. For example Tostitos Joe or Napolitana.
- Name your sourdough starter after your favorite place in the world.
- Name your sourdough starter after the place you live (can be town, street, locality etc) – since the local yeast is what makes it unique.
- Name your starter to remember someone special or someone who perhaps gave you your sourdough starter.
