Anyone know a Coco?

My friend's sister is due her DD four weeks before me.
We were discussing names (my friend and i) when he said his sister has chosen her name. Coco.
I actually said 'shut up ' because i really thought he was joking, he is always joking. But later his oh was talking about the name too.
Is this an up and coming name that i've missed? I really don't think i have ever heard of another Coco before.

A fugly name for a girl or grown woman.
Nice name for a dog or a clown

You wouldn't think "weak and insubstantial" if you met my 20 month old terror!

I really had no idea that so many people were SO judgmental about baby names. To the point of ugliness in some cases.

Oh well, the OP asked!

Yes - she is a lovely chocolate brown lab.

I know of a coco pixie, 13mo.

My daughter is Isabella Coco and we call her Coco.

I enjoy telling people she's named after a drag queen friend of mine - Coco LaCroix. My husband likes to say she's named after the American breakfast cereal - Coco Crisps. My Aunt had Coco as a nickname.

We've only ever met one other child named Coco but every third child seems to be some version of Isabella. Obviously I love both names but Coco really suits her.

And with our dualing nationalities, I s'pose she IS a mutt.

I teach a Coco she is lovely as well/.

jabberwocky · 06/04/2009 01:34

It does sound like a poodle though.

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 06/04/2009 01:26

I know a guy that goes by this name...he went by it in childhood and still does now...but his real name is Christian

to me it's Coco Pops...

oldraver · 06/04/2009 01:22

Its my cats name

cupofteaplease · 05/04/2009 19:18

Mutt- clearly it's not just a dog's name as all the people on this thread have illustrated!

MitchyInge · 05/04/2009 19:14

my 15yo is called Coco - short for Coral

I'm really considering it for the baby I am carrying (if it's a girl, obviously!)

But I would probably name her Constance to give her that option as an adult.

charmkin · 05/04/2009 17:44

know one short for Cordelia

Nancy66 · 05/04/2009 17:39

I can see it becoming the next Jade.

nereidesinthemist · 05/04/2009 17:36

Know a friend of a friend with a baby Coco. Apparently they regretted their naming decision, though. Sting has a daughter with the same name. I wouldn't use it for my own reasons.

BibiThree · 05/04/2009 17:34

DD1 was (for a short time) going to be Aiko, which we would have "shortened" to Koko iyswim?
I like it as a shortened version of a name or nickname, but I don't think of it as a stand alone name, don't know why, I just don't.

Sycamoretree · 05/04/2009 17:30

We have one in our family - not one of our DC's. I really like it, but a lot of the family were a bit to start with. Now someone at work is going to call her DD Coco - it's totally one on the up....

Rolf · 05/04/2009 17:25

I know a Coco short for Constance, which I like. Gives her the option of a more "grown up" name if she wants it.

TheLadyEvenstar · 05/04/2009 17:07

I know a Coco she is lovely,an adult and a wonderful mum

LetThemEatCake · 05/04/2009 17:07

nice name. Only for a dark-haired child though I think - not quite right on a blonde.

Dancer in Fame was called Coco.
And Coco Chanel well - say no more
