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.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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".

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 77 points 2 months ago

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

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 11 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure brie is named after the village in LotR

[–] variants@possumpat.io 6 points 2 months ago

Parents are sure to delight in Brie’s connection to the French region, too, famous for its soft and creamy white cheese

Always goes back to the cheese as the real reason

Lets try with :

  • raclette
  • roquefort
  • saint nectaire
  • coulommier
  • comté
  • gruyère

I really want to meet a girl named raclette 😍

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Raclette is the best one. It's like Rachel but 75% Frencher

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

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

There was a whole family named after a cheese. The Munsters.

[–] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

do last names count? There's Blue Jays star pitcher Jordan Romano and of course Arrested Development legendary P.I. Gene Parmesan

[–] aoidenpa@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget Gorgonzola Larson.

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

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 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

Keeping it together Brie?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Rocquefort feels like one that has / could / should be used
