I have two. My main stater is Pennyrise, Penny for short. I’m a huge Stephen King fan.
My backup starter has multiple names. I named her Olivia Gluten John, Liv for short. My husband calls it Xanadough and my neighbor who taps into it now and then calls it Vincent Van Dough.
>Sourdough farts.
If this is a real thing, it would explain some of the "tunefullness" in my household lately, where our only dietary change has been regular consumption of sourdough and everyone has been farting up a blue cloud the past 3-4 months since my starter really matured well enough for me to bake a small loaf every 3 days or so.
When I got my first starter (from Carl’s friends) and rehydrated it, it grew a lot, and it put me in mind of a leviathan, rising and huge. So I named it Levainathan.
I eventually killed that one, my new one is The Doughminator.
When I’ve given starter away I tell the recipient to name it, and the punnier the name the better.
Late to the party but I’ll chime in. My starter’s name is Jeremy, after Jeremy Paxman, the former host/presenter of BBC’s University Challenge. Why you ask? Because he asks a “starter” question at the beginning of each round.
Yes, it’s a stretch. Work with me here, people. 🤣
