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

Thanks!:)

Strippers name

Yes, Cocoa with a A. Very unusual I would think.

titsbumfannythelot · 05/11/2017 21:13

I love the name Coco. But I live in Glasgow and it just wouldn’t have the same ring as it would in Paris.

chipscheeseandgravy · 05/11/2017 21:13

Had a dog called coco. Based on that alone I’d always associate it with canines.
Also don’t think it works well with the surname.

Professor Coco McKay? Wouldn’t be my favorite

Chloe, Cora, Colette, Corrine, Coleen, Courtney, Nicole, Cordelia

Coco the clown. Sorry but that's what first came into my mind and kids at school can be cruel.

SelmaAndJubjub · 05/11/2017 21:09

Sounds like a stripper - sorry.

3out · 05/11/2017 21:06

Coco Chanel - lovely name
Coco The Clown - not a lovely name.

Unfortunately, I think pp are right and that in order to get away with Coco you need an equally unusual/distinctive surname.

If I wanted to call a DD Coco, I'd definitely have it as a nn for a longer "C" name, ch as Cordelia, Constance, Costanza or Cecilia.

BertrandRussell · 05/11/2017 21:03

Ridiculous.

sausagepastapot · 05/11/2017 21:02

I love it!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/11/2017 21:02

I like it. I'd put Nicole on her BC, though.
Nicole (Coco) McKenzie is gorgeous

NannyR · 05/11/2017 21:01

I know of a child called Koko, I think it's a great name, not one I would choose personally but it really suits her.

loobybear · 05/11/2017 21:01

Sorry but I agree that it doesn't go with your surname.
I like the previous suggestion of Nicole McKay though with Coco as a nickname!

flumpybear · 05/11/2017 20:59

Nick name .... it’s not a name

DollyMcDolly · 05/11/2017 20:58

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

PinkFlamingo888 · 05/11/2017 20:57

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.

C0untDucku1a · 05/11/2017 20:56

Courtney cox’s daughter is called coco. I like te name. But not with your surname.

BuzzKillington · 05/11/2017 20:54

It's too silly.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 05/11/2017 20:52

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

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 05/11/2017 20:52

pret Cocoa??

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/11/2017 20:47

Nicole McKay (Coco).

pret · 05/11/2017 20:39

DD has a friend called Cocoa. I like it.

ChocolateCrunch · 05/11/2017 20:36

I like it, and with your surname!

jocobella · 05/11/2017 20:30

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
