Ok sensible and classic first name means i can have a whimsical second name non??

[boodleboot]

Nearly at the end of this four hundred year pregnancy and i have bounced from Sheherazade to Emma to Honey to Florence/Iris/ Lily.....have finally come to my senses and our chosen girls name is definitely going to be Elizabeth....DH is thrilled as he loves this name and its a bit of a nod to my DM who has adored this name forever.....Surely this level of sensibleness means i can have a slightly kooky middle name???

I really want to call her Elizabeth Coco....

whaddya say??

Sorry I think it sounds pretty silly after a serious first name

If you like it why not use it as a first name?

I nearly chose a lightweight middle name for my dd and am so very glad now that i didn't!!!

... and then there was Coco in "Fame"

come on changer22....spill....i need 2 kno ur names!!

Of course you can.

Friends of ours named their son Charlie (which is far too normal in their books) he has a strange middle name. his name tags etc just say Charlie T (then surname) his middle name is Tempest.. they recon it will be great chat up line when he is older getting girls to guess what the T is for.

Wow.

Coco
Huckleberry
Tempest

All a bit try hard/Boden child model for me.

LOL @ Sirboobalot

"Coco is a monkey's name"

Afraid I agree!

Absolutely Yes to the question in your title. No to Coco itself. Why not Elizabeth Sheherazade, that would be awesome! Something like Sheherazade has more to it, imo, than somehting trendy like Coco that is a bit clown-ish imo and was just Coco Chanel's nickname (that Wiki link someone posted says "During this time, Chanel performed in clubs in Vichy and Moulins where she was called ?Coco.? Some say that the name comes from one of the songs she used to sing, and Chanel herself said that it was a ?shortened version of cocotte, the French word for ?kept woman,? according to an article in The Atlantic."

Elizabeth Cassandra
Elizabeth Clea
Elizabeth Carmen
Elizabeth Coralie
Elizabeth Clementine
Elizabeht Cerise

....... and I like morganbuffay's suggestion of Elizabeth Sheherazade :)

I've loved coco as a name for most of my preg, but alas have been vetoed! Think it's a great idea as a second name and may suggest it myself....... Elizabeth coco is fab. Huckleberry is my cats name, and I've never met another!

I think it's great. I think of middle names as a backup for the child if their first doesn't fit them as an adult. No point an Elizabeth deciding that she's not that sort of girl, and only having Margaret to fall back on, after all.

Elizabeth Coco is great, go for it.

Yes, sensible first name = unusual middle name in my book too!

My cat is called Coco!
