Lovely. I know only one. NN also Coco.

It's very 80s Essex, to me similar to Sandra and Beverly.
Coco is quite cute though.
How about Cosette (like in Les Miserables)?

I LOVE Coco.
Don't like Colette- only use Coco!

bamacuppa · 06/08/2019 09:45

Oh I quite like Cosette too. We’re from Chelmsford Essex - is the name a bit too pretentious?

I do not like Colette.
But I love Cosette. And I love the nn Coco.

Used to like Coco but gone off it, I love Colette though. Also like Celine, Clara, Celeste. Have a thing for French names beginning with C obviously!

Astronica · 06/08/2019 10:04

I love Colette and nn Coco.

Rumours0fAHurricane · 06/08/2019 10:19

Robbie Williams called his latest daughter Colette with the nickname Coco. It's ok. Don't love it

TatianaLarina · 06/08/2019 11:07

If you have French family, it’s not fashionable in France. It’s also a bit of an Irish granny name.

But she’s a great writer, if you like the name, go for it.

kidsdoingmyheadin · 06/08/2019 11:17

I also like Clemence & Camille.

yellowallpaper · 06/08/2019 11:17

Love it

Don't like Colette, Coco or Cosette.

imtheonlyupsieone · 06/08/2019 17:58

I want to like it but I think I can't help but associate it with some common girls I went to school with in the 80s.

Cosette is nice and coco is a cute nn.

PixieLumos · 06/08/2019 17:59

Very nice.

FamilyOfAliens · 06/08/2019 18:00

If it’s Coco you like, rather than Colette, why not just use Coco?

FamilyOfAliens · 06/08/2019 18:01

Unless your surname is Pops, obviously Grin

imtheonlyupsieone · 06/08/2019 18:05

...Or Nut

daisypond · 06/08/2019 18:27

Colette is nice. Or short for Nicolette.

Grufallosfriends · 06/08/2019 19:08

I don't like Colette.

Coco is cute but can be a nickname for any C name.

Equatoria · 06/08/2019 19:55

I really like Colette. Nicolette with Collette or Lettie as nickname could also work. I like Colleen too. Cosette sounds a bit pretentious TBH.

confusedandemployed · 06/08/2019 19:55

Lovely, also love NN Coco

zvjezdica · 06/08/2019 20:09

Personally I prefer Cosette to Colette Smile
