What do you think of this name for a girl? I’m surprised to see how uncommon it is! Pronounced COS-im-uh. Thanks.

I'd say very posh, yes.

MarthasGinYard · 16/03/2019 15:53

Yes it's vair posh.

I went to school with a wonderful Cosima, her DS was called Perdita

Both lovely and super names so I associate with positive vibe

Go for it

I love it. On my list for future DD2 but now too old Sad

I was in school with a Cosima in the 70s and 80s. I like the name.

Di Medici is what I think. I like the name. I woulda assume she hadnitalian heritage. If she didn’t it’s one where I would wonder why it had been chosen (silly but there we are - it is so Italian). I know it would be mispronounced her whole life in this country.

Nope not for me sorry.

Is it the female equivalent of Cosmo?

HeronLanyon · 16/03/2019 17:08

I was actually wrongly confusing cosima with Cosimo di Medici. So I add to my above comments that she may have lifetime of silly nitwits being very confused !

Love it

Frank Liszt’s daughter was called Cosima. She married Richard Wagner.

MrsEricBana · 17/03/2019 23:46

I really like it. Also reminds me of the beautiful flower cosmos (bipinnatus) and the, erm, cosmos. It wouldn't make me wonder if there was an Italian family link especially.

It makes me think of Cosima Liszt too- very pretty name.

TigerDroveAgain · 18/03/2019 00:13

Haha ahahah.

Really?

dreichuplands · 18/03/2019 00:27

The Earl of Ulster has a dd called this.

Palace13 · 18/03/2019 00:34

That's what I wanted to call my DD. Husband hated it. DD ended up Kezia

Choccywoccyhooha · 18/03/2019 00:34

I love it. Nigella Lawson's daughter is called Cosima.
