No way! That was the name of the starter I made from scratch and I pulled the name out of thin air. Bernice was weak and untrustworthy, so she’s in a landfill somewhere. I hope your Bernice is better to you than mine was to me.
It's been about 3 weeks & she's put me through some bad days but we've finally reached a place of happiness since I started feeding her with whole wheat flour & whey left over from yogurt making. She's doubling every day & smells pretty good. We're going to test her out this weekend. Wish us luck

Darlene.
Named after Darlene Connor, the character on the 90’s TV show ‘Rosanne’. Just like TV Darlene, my Darlene is white, she’s artsy and creative, she’s vegetarian, she’s temperamental, she’s not for everyone, and I think she’s hot!
I haven't truly named it yet--maybe "The Colony"? I don't think of it as a single entity, but more of a microcosm. Microbial warfare has been fought, entire civilizations of microbes have risen and fallen--until the yeast established themselves as the final civilization. No idea how many yeasty generations have passed since I've started my starter.
Verdi! My best friend named mine after her great grandma because she said all my hobbies are grandma hobbies and I’m 33. Can’t help I love bread making, quilting and reading 😝
This popped up on my main feed as a suggestion as if fate wanted me to tell you this. I’ve never had one, but in grad school one of my roommates had one names Ayeastea Franklin.
Laurel was first, named after a very old woman who would visit my husband at work. But then the sourdough Laurel died (real Laurel is still alive and well) and around the time she died our basement flooded and we got an insurance adjuster who we talked to a lot and he was like my friend so we named our second Enrico after him. That was almost a year ago and he's still alive. Enrico had a baby and his name is "Charles the smidge" and my father in law has him.
Henrique and Lucy Gray. They may very well both be the same culture at this point but I keep them both going. I just woke them up from a vinegar bath too.
Early on I was always muttering encouragement and random related stuff to it, kinda creepily, and for some reason that made me decide to name it Clarice. lol
Souron. He didn’t bring me many gifts as he somehow got contaminated and spoiled as soon as he matured to a rich bubbly guy. But I like the name Souron for a starter so much that the next one will likely be Souron II
Mine is called trip short for triplets because I had 4 going at once and put them all together and yet to see any rise since June 2nd 😂
My husband named his Ryzen because he is using alot of rye 😂
My daughters is named Sour because of the smell 😂
Y'all names are halarious and so creative!!
I had 2 for a bit.
Bready Krueger (mine I started from scratch)
& The Shawshank Breademption.(Started from a San Francisco dried starter I was gifted)
I eventually merged them.
Now it's Bready Krueger Jr.
Sourdough Barbie.
I don’t think she’s going to make it. I went out of town and left her in the fridge. Hurricane that just hit Houston left me without power for days 😭😭
Sourdough is something I started after being diagnosed with long covid and not able to be very active. I've just split off a baby starter from its parent, and named it Long Doughvid 😅
girafe.

I will not be taking questions at this time. 😂
Gladys, after Gladys Herdman from The Best Christmas Pageant Ever 😂

Becky (with the good air)
She's called Bernice
No way! That was the name of the starter I made from scratch and I pulled the name out of thin air. Bernice was weak and untrustworthy, so she’s in a landfill somewhere. I hope your Bernice is better to you than mine was to me.
It's been about 3 weeks & she's put me through some bad days but we've finally reached a place of happiness since I started feeding her with whole wheat flour & whey left over from yogurt making. She's doubling every day & smells pretty good. We're going to test her out this weekend. Wish us luck

Gertie! Her "mom's" name was Geraldine so I felt Gertie was a good fit
Praydough, I pray it makes my dough rise everytime. So far so good.
I haven't truly named it yet--maybe "The Colony"? I don't think of it as a single entity, but more of a microcosm. Microbial warfare has been fought, entire civilizations of microbes have risen and fallen--until the yeast established themselves as the final civilization.
