Coast baby name

[earlytwentiesmama]

Coast for a baby boy name?

DH works at sea and we live near the beach and have always loved it!

Is it too out there? I'm imagining I'm going to get some negative opinions but thought I'd see!

I like it. We have friends who called their DD Sealoa, which as a seaman your DH would understand.

Would you like to be called Coast?

It's a clothing shop. No.

Sorry, it’s a bit too out there for my taste

Ocean
Oisin
Alexander nn Sandy
Cliff
River

Works fine. It's nice.
To me Coast is a unisex name so would choose a boyish name as middlename.

@StSwithinsDay

I wouldn't mind.

Awful.

I don’t think it’s ’out there’ I think it’s just a bit cringe and ‘simple’. When people say ‘ooh what an interesting name, why Coast?’ And you reply ‘his Dad works at sea and we live on the coast’ I think people will be surprised there’s not a more articulate explanation. It’s like living rurally and having a Dad that works in agriculture and saying ‘yeah we love the name Field because his Dad like works on fields and we can like see lots of fields from our house’. I can imagine Vicky Pollard saying it.

I actually think it's quite nice. It's cool in the way that makes like Bear are, but as a word it's a pleasant enough sound and feels like it works as a name even though it's not a traditional one!

Love it, I like cove too.

Sorry - 'names' not 'makes' 🤦‍♀️

I think it’s fine. Not to my taste but no more out there than River, Bear, Fox etc and I know children with those names.

No it's awful

Makes me think of the dress shop that sells bland wedding attire. Not only awful but distinctly feminine.

Can you imagine a man in his 70s called Coast?

Hmm... technically it could work in the same vein as River, Meadow, Oceane etc.

BUT coast is also a verb which makes it a bit stranger in my opinion.

Sandy is perfect

I just hear "lazy"

Like coasting through life

It's weird and not a name imo (and I live near and love the coast!)

It seems bizarre to name a kid after something you love. I completely adore my dressing table but it's not a name for a child!

It makes me think of toast (not necessarily a bad thing.)

Makes me think of a coaster to put your mug on.

Not a fan sorry.
Coral, yes. Marina, yes. Cliff, if you must. Sandy? Titan if anything.

It's up to you of course, but I think there are ocean themed names that are better than Coast. I've never gravitated to one syllable names though, so that might have something to do with it.

Awww I’ve always loved this name but yet to see it in real life anywhere x
