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 4 months ago

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

[-] CareHare@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 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".

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 88 points 4 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 4 months ago

Pretty sure brie is named after the village in LotR

[-] variants@possumpat.io 6 points 4 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

I really want to meet a girl named raclette 😍

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 4 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

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

The name has nothing to do with cheese:

A curious choice of fondue

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 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)

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I think I've met a Fontina before.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I think there's an athlete by that name.

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