There was a whole family named after a cheese. The Munsters.
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
Jack
Colby
Aren’t those cheeses named for people, and not the other way around?
No
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.
I’m pretty sure I knew a Munster in highschool.
Chester Bennington?
Ah, like those tv characters Jim amd Parm?
The Munsters was done already.
'Lil Kraft.
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.

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
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.
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.
