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

Thanks!:)

How about Cora, with CoCo as a non?

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.

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

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.

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

I think Coco McKay sounds great!

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

Pop for a middle name?

SuperBeagle · 05/11/2017 20:16

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.

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

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

Mrsknackered · 05/11/2017 20:12

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?

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