I have a friend who named his kids Brie and Colby. He never had a 3rd kid, so I always wondered what other cheese names were out there.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

Don't think about cheese names. It's nacho problem.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I don't know who started to down vote this; Nacho is a name in south America as far as I am aware.

For nerds like me. The female name is short for Brianna or Gabriella. The cheese name is from the French region of Brie where it originated in. That region got its name from the Gaulish word briga meaning "hill" or "height".

[-] [email protected] 87 points 2 months ago

Also, if it isn't from the Brie region of France, it's not technically Brie. It's sparkling cheese.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure brie is named after the village in LotR

I'm pretty sure Wensleydale is both a name, and a cheese

Now that I think about it, I’d totally name my son Manchego.

I'm pretty sure I knew a Munster in highschool.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

This is my son, Camembert. My father wanted me to name him a third but Parmesan Cheddar III is just ridiculous

Actually some of these cheese names could go down as kids names, now that people have started using weird name spellings.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

There's a few that would make good girls' names when you think about it.

Ricotta

Fontina

Mozzarella (she goes by Ella, to her friends)

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I think I've met a Fontina before.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think there's an athlete by that name.

EDIT: I found a Fontina Moore for track and field.
