Let me introduce you to my baby, Belle.
Maytag Blue has a pretty good ring to it.
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”.
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
Pretty sure brie is named after the village in LotR
Also, if it isn’t from the Brie region of France, it’s not technically Brie. It’s sparkling cheese.
does Pepper Jack count?
Oh, Pepper Jack LOVES Fraggle Rock.

Colby has entered the chat
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.
I don’t know who started to down vote this; Nacho is a name in south America as far as I am aware.
Getting downvotes for a cheese pun is the most interwebs thing a person can do!
Ignacio = Nacho
A wild LESTER appeared!Had to do a search. Never tried that particular type.
Stropshire Blue is pretty tough to find in the US but worth the effort. It’s like a strong cheddar with blue cheese veins.
Sorry 😂. The cheese is Red Leicester, the human is Lester. They are pronounced the same.
I had some Red Leicester once, but haven’t found it again. It had a flavor similar to strong sharp cheddar, and a soft/creamy texture between fresh cheddar and American cheese, but not as rubbery; more… Friable? Crumbly? It was good.
I’ll keep an eye out for Stropshire Blue.
I’ll have to try it.
Works great as a last name until someone has triplets and names them after the three stooges.
Colby Briant the basketball player?
Him and Dijon Sanders really stoked my hunger for sports
Colby 2012
My name’s Coby. Close enough. People call me Colby all the time.
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)
I’d be happy to call my son La Véritable Chaumes
I think I’ve met a Fontina before.
I think there’s an athlete by that name.
EDIT: I found a Fontina Moore for track and field.
I’m pretty sure Wensleydale is both a name, and a cheese
If Monty python is a valid source, yes
John Cleese used to be called John Cheese
Did they start with Asiago?
And the bastard, American.
Edam
I’m pretty sure I knew a Munster in highschool.
Ah, like those tv characters Jim amd Parm?
I’m OK with cheese names as long as we don’t do Casu and/or Marzu
What’s wrong with Casu?
Sounds terrible. Why would that exist? Furthermore, why would anyone want to eat it?
Are we slowing moving towards gagh?
Wensleydale of the Them
The name has nothing to do with cheese:
Can’t we just have fun here?!?!
It doesn’t make it less fun. It just adds factual informs to it.
