I like:

Nicole - aka Coco for a girl

Reuben for a boy

any reason I should avoid theese? My DH is not conivinced on Reuben. So told him the Mumsnet ladies would give us an honest opinion!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Nicole and Reuben are fine (unless you can't say your 'r's). Coco is a bit too cute, but I like it.

If you like Coco - what about Kiki...that's quite cute (an abbreviation of Katherine)

Nancy66 · 16/05/2008 17:23

Don't like Nicole - a bit page 3 girl.
Coco - sounds like a porn star or a breakfast cereal.

Reuben is great though.

Not coco! That's a cat's name. Or even a clown's.
Don't like Nicole either.
Love Reuben.

Reuben is lovely. There is a little girl in my daughter's year at school called Livia (also lovely) whose older brother is Reuben.

Nicole is boring.

I know a repellent Reuben, so that biases me against it rather - but other than him I like it. It means red iirc- which may or may not impact if you have red hair in the family?
Can't say I'm personally keen on Coco, but prefer it to Nicky/Niki/Nicki permutations

Hehe Coco def slightly mad but I like to have cute shortenings - love Nicole for a 30 year old lawyer but not a teeny babe! And hate Nicky or Nic!

Both are fine.

2point4kids · 16/05/2008 17:15

Like Nicole and Reuben.. Coco is a bit odd though!
