Is Colette a nice name?

[peashooter]

It isn't very common these days. What do you think?

It's a gorgeous name and I say that even though I'm in Ireland and all Colette's I know are in their forties. If you are GB definitely still use it, it's lovely.

I really like it, its not the norm, its got history and style.

Claudette any good?

I know a lovely warm gentle kind sensible English Colette. Total thumbs up from me.

Really not appealing.

I know a Colette, and she is really nice. It doesn't seem fuddy duddy to me, but then I have no Irish connections!

I know 3. One elderly, very grand French lady and two women in their 40s of Irish heritage.

I think it's got a nice, warm ring about. A similar French name you might consider is Coralie.

I went to school with a Colette she was a bit fey...I think there are lots more lovely French names like Celeste

I know two lovely colettes but it always sounds like culotte to me and they are horrible!

I'm Irish, I know lots of Colettes aged 45-65. Definitely a name of that generation, like Noirín, Maura, Nuala etc. I still think it's a pretty name though. My name is very of its time also and I wonder if it will make a comeback in my lifetime!

I had a friend from school (UK) with that name (mid 30s). I think it's a nice name.

Another French name I like is Coralie

I like Colette, i know a Nicolette who calls herself Colette for short. When I met her I remember thinking I liked her name

I am another Irish poster who knows a few Colettes (and Bernadettes and Thereses), born in the 60s and 70s.

I really like the name though I also love Pauline and Paulette so make of that what you will..
