Opinions of this name. Pronounce like co-ill

Al Cohol

WH1SPERS · 25/01/2019 09:15

Chango has some good suggestions

MargotsFlounceyBlouse · 25/01/2019 09:13

If you're stuck go with my favourite name Joseph. It's lovely for nicknames, strong yet warm... Grin

Cohol sounds like coil. Nothing attractive comes in coils or is associated with coils!

I read it as co-hole. Looks strange written down and definitely not a nice name (if it is a name).

AdoreTheBeach · 25/01/2019 06:53

Another calpol here. Scrolling by, thought it was calpol then thought OP misspelled Calpol. So it’s a no from me too.

Give yourself a set period if time to write down 100 names however crazy then start whittling them down

TheRealBoswell · 25/01/2019 05:50

Any other alternatives?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 25/01/2019 05:17

Calpol. Definitely.

LionsHeart · 25/01/2019 05:17

All I saw was Al-cohol. Horrible.

hiddeneverythin · 25/01/2019 05:15

Nope!

jessstan2 · 25/01/2019 05:07

Changomutney, I like the names you have suggested. No child is ever going to grow up feeling embarrassed by any of them.

Al-cohol?Confused

Milasmummy · 25/01/2019 04:08

Looks like kohl, something you line your eye with.

SuchAToDo · 25/01/2019 01:41

It sounds like you are trying to say the name Cole ...but saying it with two syllables instead of one

SuchAToDo · 25/01/2019 01:40

Sorry op the name sounds made up

If you like that style.of name how about an Irish name

Cathal (cah - ill)

Or how about a surname as a first name

Cohen (co- uhn)

llangennith · 25/01/2019 01:28

Sounds like medicine you'd get on prescription

SleepingStandingUp · 25/01/2019 00:55

Names are so so hard.
Get yourself a baby name book.

If you need to ask other people's opinions on it then it's not really right for your baby. You should absoultely love your childs name.

AfterSchoolWorry · 25/01/2019 00:22

Or Cahill? (Pronounced Carl)

Cathal isn't pronounced Carl !!! It's Cahul ! There's no r in it!

ChangoMutney · 25/01/2019 00:16

You want an unusual name for him?

David
Mark
John
Michael
Andrew
Christopher
Richard
William

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 25/01/2019 00:12

Dreadful.

It looks like the name of a pharmaceutical company. Google also tells me it’s the name of a Japanese metal band.

If you like the sound, Cathal would be a good alternative.

EdtheBear · 25/01/2019 00:10

Co-holiday
Co-hole - that popped up when I was trying to write co-holiday.

I also agree with the medicine Co-codamol/ Calpol comments above.
Is it actually a name in any language?

I think I'd vote no, but I might be a tad boring when it comes to names.
