Cole for a girls name thoughts?

I named my first daughter Quinn and love idea of having unisex names, I think Cole is quite a modern and trendy name for a girl and would like other opinions.

Quinn is lovely for a girl but Cole no, not even for a boy

Scutterbug · 07/10/2023 22:16

I’m not a fan, sorry

ThePoshUns · 07/10/2023 22:17

No.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 07/10/2023 22:18

Terrible. I think it's ugly and makes me think of Old King Cole (nursery rhyme) or a piece of coal.

Happynow · 07/10/2023 22:22

Sorry no. Makes me think of a lump of coal. Or nickname "Coley" like the fish.

HappyMe6 · 07/10/2023 22:23

Not a fan

TomatoSandwiches · 07/10/2023 22:25

Not for a girl no.

Kahlo like the artist yes.

DramaAlpaca · 07/10/2023 22:26

I don't like this name on a boy, but I really dislike it for a girl.

How about Cameron or Blake?

AmyFl · 07/10/2023 22:27

Can't imagine "trendy" being important when naming a child.

Aylestone · 07/10/2023 22:29

I quite like it, I know a little boy and a teenage girl called Cole and it suits the both of them.

crumblingschools · 07/10/2023 22:32

Did you want a boy? Would you be happy to be called Cole?

Zola1 · 07/10/2023 22:38

Don't like Cole and never heard it on a girl

I love Blake like another poster suggested.. also Rory, Riley, Asher, Ellis, Maddox or Luca might fit your brief

caringcarer · 07/10/2023 22:42

I only know 1 coal and he's in his late 60's. It's a boy's name.

mum2jakie · 07/10/2023 22:43

What about Dale? I know equal numbers of male and females with this name?

SoupDragon · 07/10/2023 22:46

Truly awful. It isn't unisex at all either.

liveforsummer · 07/10/2023 22:47

I've never heard it used for a girl so not sure it's modern or trendy?!. Agree with a pp, I certainly wouldn't fancy it being my name

Moonshine5 · 07/10/2023 22:50

Nope

Fireisland · 07/10/2023 22:50

Ugh.

Incognito2023 · 07/10/2023 22:50

Sorry no. (love Quinn though)

theduchessofspork · 08/10/2023 01:00

No no no

bonbon2023 · 08/10/2023 01:08

It's short for Nicole I like it

ivybx · 08/10/2023 01:30

I like it for a boy, never thought of it for a girl but thinking of it now, I do like it for a girl also

JaxiiTaxii · 08/10/2023 01:33

I am old & untrendy so I don't like it.

Quinn however is lovely. As are:
Ash
Stevie
Ellis
Blake

DiscoBeat · 08/10/2023 02:21

It just reminds me of coal...

newfriend05 · 08/10/2023 03:20

I like it , but how about Daryl .. had a friend who's sister was called it
