Peaches

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Peaches: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2023.

A bright and playful name drawn straight from the fruit bowl, Peaches is an English word name that emerged as a given name in the 20th century, perhaps influenced by the sweet associations of the fruit itself. Its most famous bearer was the British model and television presenter Peaches Geldof (1989–2014), daughter of musician Bob Geldof, who brought the name into the public eye. The Canadian musician Peaches (born Merrill Nisker) also helped popularise it in the arts. While no major places share the exact name, the peach as a symbol appears in place names like Peachtree City in Georgia, USA, and the Peach State nickname for Georgia. An uncommon but memorable choice, Peaches fits alongside other nature-inspired word names and gained extra cultural cachet through the 2000s pop-culture scene.
