Hi I am very early but have fallen in love with the name Cohen, what do you think???

DP and me decided on Cameron as it was an anagram so any names that are anagrams would be great!! Smile

Not sure if bumps a boy or girl so all suggestions welcome Grin

Thanks Grin

Meant to say Cameron is an anagram of romance

No, Cohen means priest and the surname indicates that ancestors were priests in the Temple of Jerusalem. Unless you are Jewish and have Cohen ancestors I think it is disrespectful. I would avoid Levi for the same reason.

Suggestions:
Dylan
Lorcan
Fergus
Lochlann
Jackson
Cole
Benjamin
Owen

Rebecca
Katherine
Lauren
Alexandra
Zoe
Clara
Phoebe
Abigail

I think Cameron and Cohen are a) far too similar and b) don't really go together, one being obviously Scottish and the other being obviously Jewish, which is an odd mix. Sorry.

What about Owen or Ewan?

FellatioNelson · 19/12/2012 03:49

Lachlan, Gregory, Fergus, Lorcan, Malachy all go nicely with Cameron as well.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I didn't quite realise that Cohen was Jewish, I am not, but it's an anagram of my second name that's why I think I fell in love with it, I like the idea of a Scottish name again but none I seem to like :( more suggestions welcome Smile

I think Gregory goes well with Cameron.

LittlemissChristmas · 20/12/2012 11:06

My friend has a Cameron and an Adam

Racking my brains trying to think of what Cohen could be an anagram of Xmas Grin

Gwennan · 20/12/2012 12:39

I caution against using Cohen too. Have a look at this blog post and the comments that follow: swistlebabynames.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/baby-naming-issue-cohen.html

How about Owen or Rowan instead?

Gwennan · 20/12/2012 12:40

DaisyDB - Maybe En0ch?

RillaBlythe · 20/12/2012 12:43

Clegg?

Fraser. Murdo. Greer.

Littlecherublegs · 20/12/2012 13:29

I know a Cameron who has a brother Blake and a sister Emma.

On a Scottish theme:
Alistair
Evan
Gregor
Jamie
Logan
Mcauley
Ross
Stewart

Ailsa
Elspeth
Isla

Nevaeh (heaven)
Kate (teak)
Leah (heal)
Treah (heart)

Andrew (wander)

??????!!!!!!!!!!!
