Cosmo

[pygmy]

Thoughts please.

not a fan

I prefer Cosimo

I like Smudging's post

(Presuming you wanted honest opinions, and not everyone to just say "Up to you" ?)

I like Cosmo - cool, masculine, easy to spell/pronounce and not overused. What's not to like?

Depends on your surname and where you live really, IMO.

It does tend to make me think of a Catherine Tate sketch in Waitrose......"Come on Cosmo, come on Delphinium....we'll be late for Feng Shui class!"

For me personally (not saying this would be the case for the majority) it has too many other references: the women's magazine, the Les Dawson character Cosmo Smallpiece and Rannaldini's monstrous son in Jilly Cooper's novels.

It works if the child is around 6 foot 4 with goofy hair and your surname is Kramer. Otherwise, no.

It's the name of my SIL's cat so I personally think of it as an animals name - sorry.

Dibs (may be showing myself as a child of the 80s here).

In this order:

1. Women's magazine with questionable sex 'tips'
2. Overly sweet cocktail popularized by Sex and the City
3. 'isn't that Nigella Lawson's son? No wait, that's Bruno. Oh her daughter is Cosima.'

I like it, however the woman's mag & drink references have put me off it.

Cosmo is the awesome fairy godfather in Fairly Odd Parents!

Thanks for the link Succoria, I enjoyed that! I'm quite a bit in love with the name. Surname will be Black.

oh and I like the nickname Oz

It's ridiculously twattish.

I would snort and if I heard someone calling out "Cosmo" at the park.

With the surname Black I would go for Bernard. Hth.

It makes me think of someone who's trying to make it clear how cosmopolitan they are.

I would think you were a Seinfeld fan.

I think of Seinfield:

Cosmo Kramer

I quite like it.

Most of the references people are making go right over my head. I would never have thought of the magazine if no one had mentioned it - isn't it Cosmopolitan ? or have they changed the name?
I had forgotten all about the Les Dawson character, and most people will never hear it.

The first thing that popped into my head was Cosmo Lang, who was an Archbishop of Canterbury, I think.

IF you do go for Cosmo for this one, you could go for George or Elaine or Jerry or even Seven for any other DCs.

I absolutely love this name. I have loved it since I was a teenager and have been saving it for my first born DS. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll have a DS.

Please go for it, OP!

Oh I've just seen your surname. Do it, do it!!

Fabulous!
