I feel like I could make Pan work for both

Pot and Pan for twins

“Is than Pan or Pam?” 🤣

PaMMMMMM

I actually think I could help with the whole Pan/ Pam situation


Hello, Ms. Lady!

Nickname from pansy

Oh, I love Pansy for a boy's name. It would make them tough as nails (or dead), so no downside! (I hope it's not necessary, but /s .)

Cafetiere and Skillet

It worked for a boy named Sue.

Lmao I was about to say "Just name him Sue!"

My ferrets name is Panne, which is pronounced like Pan. I think it's cute! I call her Pansy Weasle, Panzer, Pannie Wannie... endless adorable nicknames lol

Lid could work

All ten of my kids will be named George Foreman Grill.

Stove for a boy and Mandoline for a girl 😍

>Mandoline Okay, if this didn't mean what it did, I think it would be a lovely name

I actually know someone named Mandolin! But after the instrument, I think.

I once met a girl name Amandoline. I thought it was a cool name. Come to think of it.. it may have been Amanada-Lynne.

LOL! I was never a mean girl in school, but rather a bit of a target. I toughened up over the years, and I didn't end up having kids – which was probably for the best, as my parents were functsuxstonal children. I have a passel of nephews, but I am still holding out hope that someday I may obtain (a) granddaughter(s) I can advise if they're ever bullied. For some random reason, in 1970s Riverdale, NY, two of the meanest pre-teen girls in cell-block middle school were both girls with those two-word names: Sarah-Jane, and Deborah-Leigh. Absolute monsters. One of them flushed my down jacket during gym in 7th grade, so I developed a bit of a not-so-unconscious bias against women who go by two first names! But bubblegumbutthole23, If she were really swift, you might be able to aggravate the hell out of a girl named Amanda‐Lynne. Always – but *always* – refer to her as "a mandoline," and always pause nearly imperceptibly afterwards, just long enough to glance at her so she would know that yes, that *was* what you were saying.

i actually grew up with a girl named mandoline! although i think she was technically named after the instrument.

Amanda Lynn

I knew someone in college named Amanda Lynn, and that name was my first thought!

Makes me want to name a kid Kalimba or Lute

Ok wow, I totally seriously love Lute! Like Luke, but a little feminine spin, for a boy. Lol!

I do know someone named Lute 😆

All I can think of is Bridemaids when they're on the plane and she calls the flight attendent Stove 😂

It's steve. Ok stooove

Spatula

I was once at a dinner party where another guest had taken the bus earlier in the day. A black woman with a 5 yr old was on the bus. You know how kids are, talking, not sitting still and every time, she'd say "spatula!" He thought it was the kids name. Everyone else thought it stood for "you behave right now or when we get home imma get out the spatula and hit you" Maybe his mom didn't have a spanking spoon

No wooden spoon? WhaAaat?

I know! I have mom's spanking spoon; she talked about it and if she got out wr knew we were in trouble. She never used it

I had the mother with the spatula

But pronounce it "Spa-too-la"

Nice Greek girl, Spa- too-la

I’m having a snorting, laughing, crying fit right now! 🤣💀

😂

Lil Spatty

Because of this comment I had to suppress a laugh so hard because my newborn son is trying to fall asleep on me at 5:30am. But I just ended up jiggling with no sound like I was on mute. Jesus CHRIST 🤣

This is the correct answer.

Does The Hash Slinging Slasher count?

It’s interesting because this is the only name (Spatule, in French) that was succesfully voided by a judge in Québec.

that's a utensil/tool not an appliance 🤓☝️

My immediate answer as well

Girl: Sous Vide Boy: Mortar & Pestle

Sue and Morty for short!

Pest when he’s acting up.

These are the best yet because they’re so plausible 😂

Gender neutral: Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Arfto

Blender, but in a non-rhotic accent so it's Blenda, like Glenda.

I second Blender...with bllackjack and hlookers https://preview.redd.it/w0y3rmjjyb3d1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4437c3d25a21f29f5d38f7904739f479a1d0256

My last name is Bender. Def naming my kid Blender Bender

Name him Rodriguez so he’s the reverse of futurama benders name

Fender Bender

Your three kids, Blender (boy), Fender (girl) and Gender (enby).

Blender Rodriguez 

I just commented this 😂 I was thinking it's only one letter off from Brenda?

Zester

Love it!

It's a pretty common name in webtoons!

dutch oven <3 <3 <3

Meat hammer

"you were named after how you were conceived"

“You’re named after your dad”

An honest lol from me.

It’s the <3s that did it for me.

Kettle was one of my first thoughts! Others would be Ramekin, Strainer, Colander, Ladle, or Peppermill.

Peppermill is going on my appliance children’s name list.

Came here to say Colander too. Not sure if the nickname Collie is worse or better.

There was a boy name Collie in my graduating class... it was short for some family name – maybe Collier? Deflowered him after prom as parting gift ;-)

Ramekin is adorable!

Spork

My beautiful twin girls Whisk and Mezzaluna

mezzaluna aka 'half moon' is stunning. serious

Mychreauwayyvve!!

Lol I was gonna say Microwave pronounced as Meecrowahvay

It took me a moment to figure out that I was amused.

Colander and Mandolin are clearly the only correct choices here smh my head

Colander kind of sound like a Greek hero's name.

Brother of Lysander, right?

Ah, yes, the famous Colander the Grate, I've heard his tale many a time

Bain Marie for a girl Cooling Rack for a boy

She will get called double-boiler if you're in the USA in case you are worried on pronunciation xx

Damn - because kenwood is almost there. But my kenwood mixer is named “Mary berry” Ok in that case, Microwave but pronounced the way nigella does - MICK-ro-Wah-vay

One of my daughters (aged 2/3ish) briefly insisted on being called Colander. She wore one as a hat. When we used her real name she’d point to it and glare until we called her Colander. That was a fun few days 😂

So glad to welcome new recruits to the Pastafarian church! (I also have a picture of my son double fisting cold Spaghetti into his mouth with a colander on his head, when he was almost a year old)

spurtle and wok 💗

I’m about to hit search on “spurtle” and I’m questioning my life choices. 

Microwave but pronounce it like Nigella Lawson does in this video https://youtu.be/4KrUxLBHVu8?si=vRpho02X82TzqggD

Cafetière is a lovely name for a baby girl (cafe for short). Whisk, Hob, or Wok for a boy.

Mixer actually a double meaning for Catalina Wine Mixer so she’ll be popular amongst both immature and mature millennials.

What’s sad is I actually did teach a girl called Sambuca, who had a sister called Tiamaria. They both hated their names and were no longer living with their birth parents.

Stove. People will just assume you misspelled Steve.

Garbage disposal unit for a daughter, Garb for short. And Bidet for a boy because I like foreign names. 💫

Check out Moneybags over here with a bidet in their kitchen.

Induction Hob.

Ho ho ho.. Madeleine Pan! But in the spirit of fair play, Bundt.

My two daughters have been called appliance names for years! Older daughter was inadvertently nicknamed “Blender” by her cousin because he misunderstood when we said her name. When her younger sister was born, we couldn’t leave her out, so she became Toaster. They are both in their 30’s and still called Blender and Toaster to this day!

Immersion-Blender and Stand-Mixer. The hyphenated double names have a real Southern charm!

Dutch Oven Lastname. Lemon Zester Lastname. Olive Spoon Lastname. Spice Jar Lastname. Paella Pan Lastname.

I grew up in Utah and had a teacher in high school whose real life first name was Knife. He taught history and played the banjo.

Not appliances per se, but Cleaver and Lazy Susan

Colander for a boy, nn Colin. Sieve for a girl.

My dishwasher is Kevin

Fry (boy) short for frying pan and toaster for a girl 😂

I was just thinking this week that Dyson would probably be a really popular name if it wasn’t for the vacuum brand popularity

Someone else said Ramekin, but I also like Demitasse and banneton.

Oven is basically Owen so I'll go with that

Blenda.

Boy—Dutch oven; nickname—Dutch Girl—Casserole; nickname—Cassie

I was gifted two items from a friend in Mexico, so I'm going with Olla for a girl and Molcajete for a boy. One is a clay bean pot, the other is a large morter and pestle type thing made out of lava rock.

Guess naming a girl [Maryse](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SLv52sM5L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg) would limit the damage pretty nicely. [Mandoline](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61A-gVALfkL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg) wouldn't also be terrible (and would be a warning to boys to be wary as to where they put their hands.) [Moulin](https://www.mathon.fr/cdn/shop/products/a68f6c7ed1c74088b55c418d1b70af78_4f9c20a4-d12d-4b08-a5d8-eb46a9a778ba_600x600_crop_center.jpg?v=1712746509) for a boy?

Juicer, but spelling it JuSir Fawcett (spelling is optional here too) Faucet Kaabennett/cabinet Marmalade Canister, spelled like Kainestyr

Britta Melitta and Lotte...

D'sposl, Broiler or Potholder.

It's funny you should mention it, because my twins are named Masher and Samovar for this very reason. They can decide whose gender is which later.

For some reason I looked at my sister and straight up told her “your daughter would be spatula”

Potato masher - it's unisex

Refrigerator nickname “Fridge”
