- 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.
  
  Works great as a last name until someone has triplets and names them after the three stooges.
- 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.
- Colby Briant the basketball player?
  
  Him and Dijon Sanders really stoked my hunger for sports
- My name's Coby. Close enough. People call me Colby all the time.
- Colby 2012

Emma is just short for Emmental
- "Manny" is short for manchego.
- Hmm. Emmental is a good cheese.

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".
- 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
- 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

does Pepper Jack count?
- Oh, Pepper Jack LOVES Fraggle Rock.
  
  legendary gif
- He about to CUT someone

Famous musician Richard Cheese aka Dick Cheese

Regi is just short for Parmigiano Reggiano
- And Gouda is short for Goudavid

"This is my daughter Brie and my son Shredded".
- I bet Shredded is a Gym rat
  
  Splinter is the Rat.
- Thank you for this, I lol'd

It's a Gouda idea.
- Mario:
- Cheddar than most ideas.

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

Lets try with :
raclette
roquefort
saint nectaire
coulommier
comté
gruyère
I really want to meet a girl named raclette 😍
- Raclette is the best one. It's like Rachel but 75% Frencher
- Naming your child Saint whatever is ambitious
  
  St. Vincent was up to the challenge.
- It's not all black and white, but more a gruyère.
- Went to middle school with a dude named Cheddar
- I came to say raclette and also Roque(fort) Balboa?
  Valençay
- Perhaps stay clear of people called Saint ... Necrophilia is frowned upon.

Now that I think about it, I’d totally name my son Manchego.
- Or daughter womanchego
- Manny!

Let me introduce you to my baby, Belle.

Edam could just be New Zealander for Adam

The Munsters was done already.

Jack would like a word

Chester Bennington?

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

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

Don't forget Gorgonzola Larson.
- I mean, Zola Larson wouldn't even be such a bad name (zola is how Gorgonzola is abbreviated in Italy)

Devon (blue) Kerry (blue) Gabriel Paddy Jack

'Lil Kraft.

Jack
- Colby
  
  Aren't those cheeses named for people, and not the other way around?

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

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

sup cheddar
- That's not Cheddar! That's just some common bitch!
- I came to this thread to mention that I used to know a guy named Cheddar. No idea if that was his real name, though. But that's how he introduced himself, that's what everyone including teachers called him.

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 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'd be happy to call my son La Véritable Chaumes

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

Keeping it together Brie?

Imagine being Gouda Pegula.
Gouda Pegula
\ Menchicka boola
\ Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
\ Put ’em together
\ And what have you got?
- A curious choice of fondue

Cooper

Maytag Blue has a pretty good ring to it.
- Never knew there was a cheese named after the famously bored appliance repair man.

Rocquefort feels like one that has / could / should be used
- Rockford ("rook" (the bird) + "ford") is a common American place name
  Rockefeller (from German Rockenfeld <- Rukenvelt "ridge field") is an American surname
  Roquefort literally means "fortified rock/cliff"
  
  Rocquefort is also a french village that makes and names a stinky cheese hence the mention of it on a cheese themed thread.

Wensleydale of the Them
- Also the owner of the cheese shop, the finest in this manor, squire. So clean... certainly uncontaminated by cheese.

And the bastard, American.

I'm OK with cheese names as long as we don't do Casu and/or Marzu
- What's wrong with Casu?
  
  Sorry in advance

Ah, like those tv characters Jim and Parm?

Martzu's a good name.
- Mi casu es su casu

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.

Did they start with Asiago?

Meanwhile, Ignacio over there, aka Nacho:
What am I to you, chopped liver, güey? Cabrón...
