Hi, DH and I are really struggling with boys names, i always loved the name Cohen but a girl living quite close to me has named her little boy Cohen (hes prob 4yrs old now) so it kind off put me off, we haven't really found anything else we love and i was kind of half sleeping half dreaming last night and thought of spelling it with an 'a' instead so looked up Cohan pronounced co-an, and its a real name not a made up one. It means 'one who is a preist' in hebrew.

So what do you think of it mn-ers??

Girls name chosen is Raine, or Georgia btw .

Not really sure why people would mind others assuming their child was Jewish Hmm I think it sounds lovely.

It'r nice but yes, sounds Jewish.
If you like it though then go with it.

We are Irish in Ireland -I didn't think anyone would make that assumption though, possibly would happen more in England though, as there are very few Jew's over here.

Sounds Jewish. If you don't mind other people making that assumption about your son too then why not?
