And the bastard, American.
Jack
Colby
Aren’t those cheeses named for people, and not the other way around?
Colby is named after a town in Wisconsin, which was named after a railroad station, which was named after Charles Colby. So, in a round about way, sort of yes.
Monterey Jack was named after a town in California and the guy who sold the cheese, David Jacks, so half yes. I’m not entirely sure the origins of Monterey, CA’s name so it could be like a three quarters yes.
No

A wild LESTER appeared!
Works great as a last name until someone has triplets and names them after the three stooges.
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.
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.
Ignacio = Nacho
Getting downvotes for a cheese pun is the most interwebs thing a person can do!
Colby Briant the basketball player?

“This is my daughter Brie and my son Shredded”.
I bet Shredded is a Gym rat
Splinter is the Rat.
Michelangelo is a party dude
Thank you for this, I lol’d
Emma is just short for Emmental
Hmm. Emmental is a good cheese.
“Manny” is short for manchego.
Martzu’s a good name.

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

Oh, Pepper Jack LOVES Fraggle Rock.

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
The Munsters was done already.
Regi is just short for Parmigiano Reggiano
And Gouda is short for Goudavid
