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.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 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".

[–] [email protected] 88 points 10 months ago

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

Pretty sure brie is named after the village in LotR

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

  • coulommier
  • comté
  • gruyère

I really want to meet a girl named raclette 😍

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

That's not Cheddar! That's just some common bitch!

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 10 months ago (1 children)

I think I've met a Fontina before.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think there's an athlete by that name.

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

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