Cole for a girls name thoughts?

I named my first daughter Quinn and love idea of having unisex names, I think Cole is quite a modern and trendy name for a girl and would like other opinions.

Cole definitely a boy's name. How about Blaise ?

No, sounds like a lump of coal in your Xmas stocking.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 27/12/2023 21:40

No.

Clare. Lovely unisex name. Or Rose.

like it for a boy, but it feels much more a boy’s name than a girl’s to me.

Riley
Bailey
Piper

Somebody suggested Dale, and that is a bit like Cole but so much nicer

I quite like unisex names but Cole for a girl, it's a no from me.
Love names like Blair, Blaise, Shelby,Delaney.

The point about being trendy is that trends always go out of fashion. That's literally what they do!

Not a single person on mumsnet will like it because only top 10 boring names are acceptable here, but I love it op!

Shit ugly but if you must you must

peaceinourtime · 24/10/2023 14:26

I love Darrell. James is also nice for a girl

SneezyEvie · 24/10/2023 08:18

Not for a girl, sorry.

StrangePaintName · 24/10/2023 06:46

Cole is about as unisex as Tom.

Don't like Cole and never heard it on a girl

I love Blake like another poster suggested.. also Rory, Riley, Asher, Ellis, Maddox or Luca might fit your brief

Those are traditionally boys names. Luca is very definitely a boys name, unless you would be happy calling a girl Luke.

Cole is a surname.

GodDammitCecil · 24/10/2023 04:26

Out of all the names in the world? Cole? Seriously?

And that applies for either sex.

I have an American friend with two DDs called Bryce and Elliott (Ellie), if I can interest you in either of those…?

user1492757084 · 24/10/2023 04:14

Quinn and not Cole - Cole is not unisex.

Do you like ..
Lindsey
Dale
Jordan
Maxima - Max

Champsandbubbles · 24/10/2023 01:37

No, not unisex IMO

kelce · 10/10/2023 06:09

I know a girl Colson, she is fab

pinkdelight · 10/10/2023 06:06

Going against the grain I love it but mainly as I once had a (female) hairdresser called Cole who was lovely and beautiful so that's how I think of it.

user1492757084 · 10/10/2023 04:14

No for Cole.

How about Quinn and
Cass
Dale
Lexie

ButterfliesandMoths · 09/10/2023 21:10

Not heard it for a girl before but I quite like it.
