Views on Cosima?

[jaffacakehips]

That's it really... Already have DD.

Surname..3 syllables starting with an M.

-ma M.... doesn't flow too well.

Apart from that - its a pretty name but I'm afraid Cosima sounds like she belongs in a seraglio to me

Just in case anyone isn't sure it's pronounced KO-zi-ma. You can also have Cosma which is a variant of Cosima. However I'm pretty sure everyone will think it's just the wrong spelling.

A seraglio... However you do make a good point with regards to Ma M.....etc. Will sound it out aloud and up the stairs.

Cosima Miliband - not keen due to the M issue.

Serena?

I totally love this name and is a big contender for me!!!

I don't think the M thing is an issue

A few alternatives... Cassia, Carina, Clara, Cecilia

What is your dd's name?

Questions...how is everyone else pronouncing it?

Packet Thanks for the suggestions. Nothing grabbing me at this moment in time.

South at least you didn't say Skoda used to drive one

Dottie Honor Elizabeth

Ahhh that's a lovely name!! I think it can be pronounced a few different ways Cosy ma.......Coz zee ma......Cas ee ma ??? Not sure which is the proper way though!

adore it, and Cassia (& I have an Honor too... you obviously have excellent taste ;-))

I know it's the pronunciation is a problem as I'm also not hugely sure which way to say it....however i've read it's KO-zi-ma yet i'm not very keen on KO-zi-ma!

Bobbi obviously Do you have any other DC's and what are they called yes i know i've very nosy

makes me think of nigella lawson's daughter.

I really like it despite the bloody little madam that teased DD mercilessly and was called Cosima.

Love it.
Cosima Wagner - ie composer's wife.

I think it's prn like a bit like 'gossamer'. I don't like it. Sounds a bit pretentious unless you're Italian.

I've always really liked it, though if I were considering it seriously I might start wondering how I felt about the possible 'Cossie' nickname, which would recall swimming trips in the 80s for me. That might not be a bad thing .

Nigella Lawson's daughter is Cosima and is always known as Mimi now.

I quite like it. Far better than all those other Greek names that do the rounds on here, Persephone, Appollonia etc.

Ehm, actually I am Italian and Cosima is simply not a very pretty name... It's a "grandmother's" name, and not in a good way. Think "Enid". I suppose it's a bit more popular in the South, but then there there is more of a tradition of naming children after their GPs anyway.

There are plenty of pretty Italian names if you are so inclined though!

DDs acquaintance was known as Cozy by her (German) family if that's any help.

Thanks for the feedback... DH isn't convinced.

Pretentious you say...I say clearly she has flamboyant mother parents I really couldn't give a monkeys about names being pretentious. won't tell you that I also really like India It's either too posh or too chavtastic, haha!

Jilly cooper novel material.

Mind you I like Perdita so that's not always a bad thing!

I would go with your DH... I just dont like it, sorry.

Exactly what I thought.
