Cosmo

[pygmy]

Thoughts please.

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

I think that says more about you than a person called Cosmo tbh. I actually like the sound of Cosmo and find it a refreshing change from all the popular boys' names. To me, it sounds masculine, cool and a little quirky.

I like it, there is a little Cosmo at toddler group, he is a sweetie and it suits him :)

[GloryHunter]

I do like the name but it does make me think of the Benny Hill character Cosmo Smallpiece

[BunnyLebowski]

Yes it does evan.

It says I'm a down to earth person from a working class background who prefers solid and old-fashioned names to roaringly upper class and pretentious ones.

[hifi]

reminds me of Les Dawsons cosmo smallpiece.

[LynetteScavo]

I also prefer Cosimo.

[MrsBungle]

I find it a pretentious name.

I love Cosmo. Great name, a saint's name, easy to say, easy to spell. What's not to like?

Cosmo Brown in Singing in the Rain is a lovely namesake, and if your surname is as simple as Black I would absolutely go for it. There's also a guy called Cosmo Wilson who does lighting for rock concerts... So you don't have to be a Duke to use it.

I quite like it but its one of those names that shriek middle class alternative in a new conformist, post ironic kind of a way. Is your other child called Jago?

[Meringue33]

I like it
Tho cuter on a little boy than full grown man
Cosmo Jarvis springs to mind but I quite like him
Could you give him a "normal" middle band like James or something he could use if he decides he hates Cosmo when he is older?

[BoraBora]

LOVE it. Cosmo Black is a fabulous name.

With your surname, Cosmo Black. Very spacey, reminds me of the solar system or milky way, things like that. Like it though.

[KittenofDoom]

Reminds me of Sirius Black in HP! What about another brother called Pluto?

[Cosmothedog]

My dog's name is Cosmo, full name Cosmo Kramer.

[DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper]

'Roaringly upper class'?!

Well, only in the UK where people are preternaturally obsessed with such things. In other countries, it's ... a name.

Cosmo Kramer for me, too. And the whole deal was, of course, that he kept his name hidden and went by Kramer because he - seemingly unembarrasable, if you know the character at all - was so embarrassed by it.

It's not a name I would ever use, but -- it's not that bad.

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

Cosmo black sounds like a stage name to me.
Personally I would use it as a middle name/ nick name and give him a 'normal' name for day to day usage in case he becomes a boring banker etc rather than a showman.

It's the kind of name that forces a personality from people's preconceived perceptions iyswim.

[Amy106]

No, sorry. Not a fan.

[sleepingbeautiful]

Sounds a bit try-hard to me.
Also the name immediately makes me think of the trashy magazine with endless "how to have the best sex ever" articles.

[sleepingbeautiful]

Also 'Cosmo Black' sounds like a magician doing the entertainment at a party, so he may have to learn how to saw ladies in half in order to live up to this.

[MomsNetCurtains]

Cosmo Black is a terrific name! A good name for a lawyer/something high powered and likely to be in a Jilly Cooper novel. Tall, thick dark hair...

A memorable name. I like it.

[CecyHall]

I first thought Cosmo and Dibs and then thought of the Chinese restaurant chain.

But I don't hate it.
