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

I think it would only be fair if you call them Breanna with the nickname of Bri then they have options!

HeronLanyon · 16/05/2019 22:59

Cheesy. Soft cheesy!

MaudeLynne · 16/05/2019 23:00

lol, fab!

NormanTheForeman · 16/05/2019 23:03

Brianna with Brie for short might be ok. Otherwise totally cheesy! Grin

PuppetShowInTheSoundofMusic · 16/05/2019 23:03

I can't bear it as a name as I can't get past the cheese association - and not just generally.

Every time I hear that name I see a triangular slice of that anaemic white slightly melting at room temperature goo.

Wrong thing to do to a child. There are literally thousands and thousands of other names. Pick another.

It's dreadful.

Isn’t the girls name silent “Bree” though?

AuntieStella · 16/05/2019 23:05

How about the Scottish name Breagha ?

BikeRunSki · 16/05/2019 23:06

Sorry, “silent” should be “spelt”.

Pieceofpurplesky · 16/05/2019 23:06

My parents are friends with a couple who are called Bri and Cameron. Dad always refers to them as Bri and Camembert. It always amuses me

MarieToulouseBerlioz · 16/05/2019 23:07

Nope, really dont like it sorry!

I used to be obsessed with desperate housewives but always hated how bree was called bree!

helpmum2003 · 16/05/2019 23:07

Brianna please - I think Brie would be cruel tbh.

BackforGood · 16/05/2019 23:08

No.
Far too cheesy for me.

IcelandicYoghurt · 16/05/2019 23:09

Yum

NewSchoolNewName · 16/05/2019 23:09

Too cheesy

isabellerossignol · 16/05/2019 23:10

And then if you later had a boy you could call him Edam.

procrastinatingtoday · 16/05/2019 23:10

Love the brie and camembert - couple! 😂

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.

Glad to be service😅

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 23:15

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

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.

BackforGood · 16/05/2019 23:59

Whoops75 · 17/05/2019 00:02

Bree is the name

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.

Proseccofuelled · 17/05/2019 01:09

I love it for Aubrey
Other possibles are Berengere & Briony
