Hi there. Thoughts on Cole please. I think it's simple but different. It was also my mum's maiden name. Quite like Colton too, but would probably just go for Cole. He would be Cole Alexander

squoosh · 18/05/2016 10:41

I like it. Especially with the family connection.

I like Cole! You been watching The Affair?

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 17/05/2016 15:21

Cat' wasn't that cain?

We know 2 coles.
One age 13, the other about 2.

I have heard Cole as a nn for Nicolas.

Short snappy boy name. Easy to say.easy to spell.

Go for it.

catkirk · 17/05/2016 15:13

And his brother Abel?

LadyAntonella · 17/05/2016 15:02

I don't like Colton either (not a fan of Clayton and they sound similar) but I really like Colt.

LadyAntonella · 17/05/2016 15:01

Not my cup of tea personally, but only as I think it might sound weird in my accent and the accents where I live.

disappoint15 · 17/05/2016 14:03

Sounds like 'coal' and 'kohl'.

nectarini1983 · 17/05/2016 13:57

Sounds very American but I kinda like it!

Zhabr · 17/05/2016 13:57

I know a lovely boy called Cole, so it is "yes" from me

MrsCaecilius · 17/05/2016 11:44

Old King?

Tiggeryoubastard · 17/05/2016 09:30

Naff. Horrible. Better than Colton is the only positive.

NataliaOsipova · 17/05/2016 09:21

Cole was a character in Falcon Crest (80s American soap opera), played by the chap who also played Perry Mason's sidekick in those films. So I always think of him when I hear that name! (Not necessarily a bad thing and probably just shows my age! Had the same reaction when a friend was suggesting Blake as a name for her DS - could just picture Krystle Carrington with massive shoulder pads circa 30 years ago.....)

Scarydinosaurs · 17/05/2016 09:17

Sorry, I don't like it- but not for any strong objectionable reason.

HouseOfBiscuits · 17/05/2016 09:05

I like it. It reminds me of the musician Cole Porter.

RubyRedandWilson · 17/05/2016 09:03

I really like Cole

Sophronia · 17/05/2016 06:28

Very nice

mathanxiety · 17/05/2016 06:09

I love it. I agree with Noodle.

pinocchiosnose · 16/05/2016 23:21

I really like it
