Could I call a baby Brie, or is it too American and/or too cheesy? 🤔

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I knew a Breed

NaughtyLittlePassport · 17/05/2019 07:26

Cheese OP. She'll be bullied.

BertrandRussell · 17/05/2019 07:24

I never understand things like “it’s fine if you spell it Bree”. You don’t say “My name’s Brie spelled Bree” do you?

MadCatLadee · 17/05/2019 07:20

My friend's daughter is Bree which I think is lovely.

Minniemagoo · 17/05/2019 06:25

Well with Brie Larson being popular right now (Captain Marvel) it will probably see a rise in popularity but I think her actual name is Brianne so it's really only a nickname and a cheese.

Inspired by another baby name thread, you could go with Eirb?

Well technically it's a name and a place in France but the cheese association is a bit too strong. It's also not a nice sound.

memaymamo · 17/05/2019 04:50

I know a Gabrielle who goes by Brie. Not fond of Brie on its own, and it does make me think cheese.

Elphabaisnotwicked · 17/05/2019 04:18

How about Sabrina?

Mothership4two · 17/05/2019 03:49

I like Breagha - shorten it to Brea. However you spell it, it's a pretty name!

Topseyt · 17/05/2019 03:13

No. It's a cheese.

I do like brie, but I mean the cheese. To me it isn't a child's name.

aatwi · 17/05/2019 03:07

If you spelled it Bree, yes.

I like it being short for Aubrie.

NunoGoncalves · 17/05/2019 03:03

Don't worry OP, there are Stiltons of other names to choose from!

DontCallMeShitley · 17/05/2019 01:44

You've Gouda be joking.

Proseccofuelled · 17/05/2019 01:09

I love it for Aubrey
Other possibles are Berengere & Briony

pallisers · 17/05/2019 00:03

I'm in the US and most people I know would say "Is that short for Brianna? followed by "you mean like the cheese?" once you explained.

Whoops75 · 17/05/2019 00:02

Bree is the name

Aubrie/Aubrey/Aubrey With nn Brie/Bree for short? X

isabellerossignol · 16/05/2019 23:15

You'd really have to think Caerphilly about it I suppose.

foreverblessedbee · 16/05/2019 23:15

You might as well call her Babybell and have done with it

Tillygetsit · 16/05/2019 23:14

I camembert it. It's not a gouda name and would cheese me right off.

foreverblessedbee · 16/05/2019 23:14

Its. A. CHEESE.
Spelt like a cheese.
It is a cheese.
Not a girls name.

Bree if you must but like others say, Brianna to at least give her the option.
