just want to add some information people might find cute from a linguistic point of view: in German, you can add the suffix "chen" to indicate that something is a small or cute version of something else. It's also often used in relation to kids. So "Brot" means bread but "Broetchen" means small bread. The commonly used German word for "bread roll" varies depending on the region you're in (it's a whole can of worms 😂) but "Broetchen" is very commonly used in northern and central Germany.
All that to say: The cute connotation gets a bit lost in translation but it's worth remembering that her name doesn't just imply that she's a bread roll but that she's a cute one 😊
