What do people think of Coco for a girls name? Surname would be McKay.

Thanks!:)

McKay doesn't go with Coco. But coco is a gorgeous name.

I really like it. I think it works well through all ages.
Not sure if Coco McKay is a bit hard though?
Would you like some other suggestions?

I also thought that about the sounds Mrsk. Though Courtney Cox's daughter is Coco (Arquette) which would be similar.

There's a cool Hawaiian female surfer called Coco I like it. It sounds like it could be a nickname a little bit though.

I think it's totally dire. Please don't. Kids at school will call her coconutty.

I like it, but I don't think the majority of people can pull it off. I also think that it's the sort of name which could limit a person, depending on what they wanted to do with their life.

I second others that Coco McKay doesn't quite work.

Pop for a middle name?

No, it's a dog name. Or for people with a cocaine habit.

I know a very ‘posh’ lady with a daughter called Coco and it really suits her. Maybe it’s after Chanel...

No, I don't think it works. Coco itself isn't a great name, but paired with a very common (ordinary!) surname like McKay it sounds a bit odd. It's like naming a child Cassiopeia Araminta Murphy.

I think as a name in general like Coco is hard to pull off.

Thanks everyone! Interesting to hear people's honest opinions. I think will go with a soft middle name if we go with it.

If I was Say what I thought, since you are asking, it Makes me think of W hen people have posh puppies/dogs who have a show name that’s what it sounds like. Could never be taken seriously.
However your baby your choice we all have different opinions and tastes.

How about Cora, with CoCo as a non?

My daughter is called Coco and we only get positive comments - no one has ever said it’s a dogs name so I’d ignore those responses if you like it. She’s quite old now and although she got the odd Cocobelle, Coca Cola when she was little, she is just Coco now

I like Coco btw although it sounds a be cowgirly with your surname. Who’s to say if that’s a bad thing though! Grin

I really like Coco and would use it myself but would prefer to use it as a nickname but have never been sure what it could be short for! I think if there was a lengthier alternative it may flow better with your surname too.

I wouldn't use it but only because i know two dogs called Coco
