Just to bring this around with a bow, to quote a prof, "You can call anything what ever you want as long as you know what it is." Common names are varied. If you're in CA catching sheephead you aren't catching bream.

Which brings me to Archosargus probatocephalus being in the family (Sparidae) of sea bream, with other breams including Australian "Red snapper"--not a snapper. Our only "bream" in that family is Calamus brachysomus or pacific porgy which of the two I have ever caught one was at...wait for it...Cedros by yak. The other was from shore N of BdLA.
