About egg names

Eggs get named more often than you might expect: the egg baby a class looks after for a week, the entry in an egg drop, a decorated Easter egg, a character in a game or a comic. Egg names fall into a few families, and this list covers all of them.

The biggest family is the pun. Egg slots into any name that starts with an E, Ed or Ex sound, which gives Eggbert, Eggatha, Eggmily and Eggzander, and the same trick works on famous names as plain wordplay: Eggdar Allan Poach, Shellock Holmes, Dolly Carton. Shell, yolk and whisk do the same job in Shelby, Yolanda, Just Yolking and Whisk Business. Mock titles such as Sir Cracks-a-Lot, Count Yolkula and Colonel Custard suit an egg with a drawn-on face and plenty of attitude.

The quieter families are cute names built on size and looks (Pebble, Speckle, Peewee, Yolkie Pie), dish names from the breakfast table and beyond (Frittata, Shakshuka, Tamagoyaki), and the word for egg in other languages, such as Huevo, Oeuf, Uovo and Tamago. A last group is written for egg drops, with mission names like Eggstronaut, Soft Landing and Operation Safe Yolk.

How to choose egg names

  • Start from the egg's job. A school egg baby suits a first name you can write on a worksheet, such as Eggmily or Shelby, while an egg-drop entry suits a mission name like Soft Landing or Yolk Lander.
  • For a pun, say the original name aloud and swap in egg, shell or yolk where the sound already fits. Eggbraham Lincoln and Shellvester Stallone work because the rhythm of the name does not change.
  • Match the name to the decoration. A speckled egg can be Speckle or Freckle, a plain white one Ivory or Snowy, and one with a drawn mustache deserves a title like Baron von Shell.
  • Naming a whole carton? Pick one family for the set, such as dishes (Frittata, Quiche, Flan) or titles (King Yolk, Queen Quiche), so the names belong together.
  • Keep it short if you will say it all week. Save the long puns for the label on an egg-drop container or the caption of a photo.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good name for an egg baby project?

First names with an egg pun work well: Eggbert, Eggatha, Eggmily, Shelby, Yolanda or Meggie. If the assignment asks for a full name, add a punny surname or a suffix, as in Peggy Yolk or Eggbert Jr.

What are some funny egg names?

Wordplay on famous names gets the biggest laugh: Eggdar Allan Poach, Benedict Cumberhatch, Dolly Carton, Albumen Dumbledore and Arnold Schwarzenegg. Phrase puns such as Eggsistential Crisis, Just Yolking and Whisk Business work well on a poster or a caption. All of them play on the sound of a name or a phrase and nothing more.

What should I name my egg drop project?

Egg drop entries usually get a mission or stunt name. Try Eggstronaut, The Eggle Has Landed, Operation Safe Yolk, Captain Cushion or Eggvel Knievel. You can also name the container for what it is made of, as in Straw Fortress or Cardboard Comet.

Are the foreign words in the list real words for egg?

Yes. Huevo is Spanish, Oeuf is French, Uovo is Italian, Ei is German and Dutch, Tamago is Japanese, Gyeran is Korean, Anda is Hindi and Telur is Malay and Indonesian. They make good names for a decorated egg with a national theme.
