Brieanna Wilkoff: Hello. My name is Brieanna Wilkoff. Growing up, my name was often mispronounced as Brianna, so I got in the habit of telling people they could call me Brie. But because that rhymed with a lot, sometimes people misunderstood what I said. So I started adding, "Like the cheese," for clarification. This was ironic because I hated Brie cheese, although now it's one of my favorites. I do like my name, though, and I've always been a fan of names with a nickname, so I'm glad my friends and family use both Brieanna and Brie. You'll find that many of my characters also go by both their full name and a nickname. I guess whether it's names, paint colors, or latte flavors, I just like variety.
