Cooper for a girl?

[MrsXx4]

Would you find this odd? does anyone know any girls named Cooper? we know of boys named this.

Its a family name and we'd like to include it somehow but don't know if its a bit too 'out there' to name a little girl it?

Yes I think it's odd - it's not a girl's name - can't it be a middle name?

I would find it odd, yes.

Odd

Extremely odd.

Odd. Means someone who barrels beer doesn't it?

I wouldn't find it odd, more and more names are becoming unisex. No different/odder than Cameron to me.

I like it! I have a cousin called Cooper

Fine if used as a middle name as I'd assume it was a family surname. Not good at all for a girl's first name.

Awful. It's a surname. It rhymes with Pooper. There is so much wrong with it.

Yes it means barrel maker.
It's a surname. I don't like it being used for a boy forename let alone a girl!
Pooper cooper.
Avoid!
Also avoid thatcher, fletcher and other trade surnames as first names.

Isn't there a little girl called Cooper, amongst others, commenting cutely on a Sony Walkman, doing the rounds on FB at the moment? I haven't stopped to listen, just assumed she was American.

I don't mind a trade surname as first name on a boy. I even think Fletch/Fletcher sounds quite cool. Thatcher obviously is bit more of a statement, and not a statement I'd be eager to make.

I only know 1 Cooper, who is a boy. But I wouldn't find it odd for a girl.
Tbh, I think I prefer it for a girl - I would imagine a sassy Californian girl!! Not keen on it at all for a boy.

It is however, an excellent surname. 😄

Very strange for a girl. Fine as a surname. Why would you want to call your DD 'barrel-maker'?

Ok as a middle name to honour someone, not as a first name for a girl

Would be ok as a middle name, but not a first name....

I know a Cooper who is a boy and he is gorgeous.

I like it for a girl. I like boys' names used on girls, sounds strong. But maybe with another more typical girls' name in case she doesn't agree when she gets older?

It's bloody awful what are you thinking

I think it would be a bit like calling a girl Bruce. Going out of the way to sound as masculine as possible. Which would be strange.

Not a first name, no. Sorry it's a boys name. I know it's trendy for names to be unisex but I can't imagine anyone wants to go through life with people constantly thinking they're the opposite sex.

I like it.

It's a pretty horrid first name for a boy- awful for a girl. Use it as a second name.
