Gender neutral name needed for Co-op's 'gingerbread person'

A supermarket wants shoppers to suggest a gender neutral name for its new 'gingerbread person'.

Co-op is creating a new design for the biscuit and has already given us a sneak peek at what it will look like, with grey clothing, but the rest is under wraps.

Following customer suggestions,  a shortlist will then be put out for a vote, reports the Manchester Evening News.

People are being asked to suggest names for the new biscuit between April 10 and May 1.

The Co-op Food team will then create a shortlist of some of the best suggestions, before asking people to vote for their favourite.

Its website states: "Our Food team is adding the final touches to a new Co-op gingerbread person, but they’ve yet to come up with a name.

"They’d like members to join in and suggest a fitting name for our new little biscuity friend.

"The plan is to give our new gingerbread fellow some seasonal costume refreshes - a distinctively Christmassy look for December and something rather spooky around Halloween for example. So they’ll need a name that works for any time of year.

"We also need to ensure that the name is gender neutral too. Join in to suggest a name. Our Food team will create a shortlist of the ones they think will best fit the bill and we’ll be back to ask you to vote for your favourite next month."

Sign up here to suggest a name for the gingerbread person.
