What’s Coco short for?

[MrsRachel85]

Love the name Coco for a girl but would prefer a longer, more traditional name for birth certificate and to use Coco as a nickname. What could Coco be short for? I can think of Cora, Coralie, Chloe...

I once knew a girl known as Coco - but it was her initials. Obviously won't give her real name, but it was along the lines of:

Caroline Orla Cox-Oakley

You probably don't have a C-O double barrelled surname, but you could give her a C first name and O middle name, and get the Coco nickname from that.

I went to school with a Coco who had that as a full name.

She got expelled for drugs and shagging, but I'm sure that wasn't anything to do with her name.

Coco Chanel was called Gabrielle, so you could try that - bit of a stretch, though.

A former colleague called Colette went by the nickname Coco.

Coralie was my first thought, and that’s a lovely name.

Chloe 💖 Carolina 💖 Cordelia 💖

Caroline - it has a C and an O in there, so could work
Colleen/Colette
Constance/Connie
Corinne
Cordelia/Cornelia
Catriona

I like it on its own. It's a bit of a leap to say it's short for Cora, Chloe etc.

Coconut

yep that would do.

Or you could just make her coco on the birth certificate , I love this name!

Coraline

The Coco I know is called Constance , and is about 11 years old.

Constantina Cordelia

Everyone will be delighted you have her a nickname.

Whatever you want! To be honest I always wanted my DD nickname to be Tigs or tiggy ... she's a tabby though and loves it (name is Tabitha)
Chose the name you want not the nickname

Collette as far as I’m aware

I know 3 Coco’s! They’re all Chloe.

Gabrielle, obviously.

I know a little girl called courtney and her mum calls her Coco. Really cute nickname!

I know a teenage Coco. It's not short for anything. It wouldn't be my choice, though it's nice as a short form. Cosima? Or Nicole?

I have a son whose nickname / shortened name is coco... it makes me smile everytime i say it

To be honest I’m not sure what’s holding me back from using Coco on it’s own. Feels a bit too ‘out there’ and worried it might not grow with her i.e. cute on a little girl, too cutesy for a grown up? Thought having a more traditional name to use instead (if she prefers) would be better. But I’m so unsure. Maybe I should just go for it if I love it

Haha, Coconut. Should have thought of that

I know a little Calypso, nn Coco!

I always think nicole as it has the co sound
