Coco

What name could have this as nn?

Robbie Williams has a Colette nicknamed Coco.

I like it, but I'm reserving it for my first dog. Nice name, but suits a dog better IMHO.

We had Coco as our name for the whole pregnancy (not a nn just the main name although if it were up to me I’d have had Colette as the full name) but we got so many meh responses and confused faces from friends and relatives I chickened out and went for a traditional name last minute.

Still love Coco though and if I was a braver more out there style cool mom I would have gone for it!!

Coco should only be used as a NN surely?
I wonder if any parent considers their child when they’re naming them.. I hear people say your baby your choice but what about the child/teenager/adult? I tried to give my children names that will carry through from childhood to adulthood. Names like poppy, daisy and coco sound ridiculous after the age of 1

Dogs name,

I love coco!!! What about Colette, Corinne, Coral, Cora?

Boy or girl? I know a Coen who goes by Coco.

I know a Colin who is known as Coco.

I know a Keira called Coco.

Coco Chanel was called Gabrielle (sorry if someone has already said that, I haven’t rtft!)

Totally agree with you @OkPedro, but we are lone voices on here. I hardly ever see anyone wondering if their child will like the name. They don't seem to be able to imagine the baby as an older child, let alone an adult. It's all about being a cool mum and the name sounding cute for a baby. Then the poor kids go to school and have the mick taken out of them or if they're unlucky - the shit kicked out of them - followed by a lifetime of embarrassment, introducing themselves.

(Not having a go at the OP btw - nothing wrong with Coco as NN as long as it's not the only name)

To counter the ‘think of the child’ argument, my auntie wanted to name her daughter Coco but was so mocked she went for a very normal name. Fast forward and my now adult cousin just should have been Coco. She suits the name so much more (she went in to performing arts and works in the theatre). My auntie regrets her name so much! So I sometimes think if you love a name then go for it.

Cadence
Cora
Chloe
Clover
Cecilia
Cleone

Great, but what if she had become a high court judge or a police officer? If you have a multi-purpose name, you can choose a NN that suits your personality/profession, and change it at will if your lifestyle changes. If you have a cutesy actual name like Coco or Daisy, you are stuck with it unless you want to go through the hassle of a legal name-change.

The only Coco I know, as there aren't many, is Corrine.

My cat's called Coco.

Actually Indigo could work!

Nicolette

@Emily312 Coco is definitely a cats name not so good on a dog.

Odd to just want suggestions of any old name so you can have Coco as a nickname. To me that's not what a nickname is, that's just an abbreviation. I'd avoid Coco as a given name, it's incredibly naff.

I work with a Coco, that’s her given name, not a nickname. She is lovely and I think it’s a great name.

@Kublai I'm a vet nurse and I've met loads of dogs called coco so .... speaking from experience haha :)

Absolutely bloody awful. Imagine her becoming a high court judge with a name like that. It ok if you plan for her to prostitute herself or work in a lap dancing bar

High Court Judges (and indeed all Judges except Judy) are known by their surnames, so your point is as irrelevant as it is rude Joy.

Couple of pointlessly rude posts on here!

Makes me think of fame, we all wanted to be coco, so on that basis, why not.

Coco i know is nichole.

Coco is the most popular name in the UK for a brown dog. Maybe not relevant?
