Cooper for a girl?

[MrsXx4]

Would you find this odd? does anyone know any girls named Cooper? we know of boys named this.

Its a family name and we'd like to include it somehow but don't know if its a bit too 'out there' to name a little girl it?

[RortyCrankle]

Yes I think it's odd - it's not a girl's name - can't it be a middle name?

[Loyly]

I would find it odd, yes.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Odd

[Floggingmolly]

Extremely odd.

[CauliflowerSqueeze]

Odd. Means someone who barrels beer doesn't it?

[celtiethree]

I wouldn't find it odd, more and more names are becoming unisex. No different/odder than Cameron to me.

[cookielove]

I like it! I have a cousin called Cooper

[MitsyLeFrouf]

Fine if used as a middle name as I'd assume it was a family surname. Not good at all for a girl's first name.

[MrsMeeseeks]

Awful. It's a surname. It rhymes with Pooper. There is so much wrong with it.

[mouldycheesefan]

Yes it means barrel maker.
It's a surname. I don't like it being used for a boy forename let alone a girl!
Pooper cooper.
Avoid!
Also avoid thatcher, fletcher and other trade surnames as first names.

[WhiteHairReally]

Isn't there a little girl called Cooper, amongst others, commenting cutely on a Sony Walkman, doing the rounds on FB at the moment? I haven't stopped to listen, just assumed she was American.

[MitsyLeFrouf]

I don't mind a trade surname as first name on a boy. I even think Fletch/Fletcher sounds quite cool. Thatcher obviously is bit more of a statement, and not a statement I'd be eager to make.

[JulesJules]

Ok as a middle name. Not otherwise imo

[Enidblyton1]

I only know 1 Cooper, who is a boy. But I wouldn't find it odd for a girl.
Tbh, I think I prefer it for a girl - I would imagine a sassy Californian girl!! Not keen on it at all for a boy.

[BikeRunSki]

It is however, an excellent surname. 😄

[juneau]

Very strange for a girl. Fine as a surname. Why would you want to call your DD 'barrel-maker'?

[harderandharder2breathe]

Ok as a middle name to honour someone, not as a first name for a girl

[BasicBetty]

Would be ok as a middle name, but not a first name....

[SleepFreeZone]

I know a Cooper who is a boy and he is gorgeous.

[crocodarl]

I like it for a girl. I like boys' names used on girls, sounds strong. But maybe with another more typical girls' name in case she doesn't agree when she gets older?

[sonlypuppyfat]

It's bloody awful what are you thinking

[MitzyLeFrouf]

I think it would be a bit like calling a girl Bruce. Going out of the way to sound as masculine as possible. Which would be strange.

[Heatherbell1978]

Not a first name, no. Sorry it's a boys name. I know it's trendy for names to be unisex but I can't imagine anyone wants to go through life with people constantly thinking they're the opposite sex.

[BeanSprout79]

I like it.

[BertrandRussell]

It's a pretty horrid first name for a boy- awful for a girl. Use it as a second name.
