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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year 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 88 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Pretty sure brie is named after the village in LotR

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

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

I really want to meet a girl named raclette 😍

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

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)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I've met a Fontina before.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think there's an athlete by that name.

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