Nathaniel vs Cooper

[Beepeony]

DH and I can’t decide between Cooper and Nathaniel (Nate). Baby due in several weeks.

My only concern it that Cooper is a bit chavvy? compared to Nathaniel. We already have a Miles.

I really like
Henry
Edward
Joseph
But DH vetoed all of these!

All opinions welcome!

Cooper

Nickname = Pooper Scooper

Cooper is a horrid name.

Cooper - yes it is. Don’t do it.

Nathaniel is great.

I know a Nathan Cooper..

As in first name, surname

Nathaniel sounds great with Miles

Definitely Nathaniel

Cooper rhymes with Super-Duper, which is a plus.
Nathaniel Winkle doesn't quite have the same ring.

And Bart rhymes with fart? So what?!

It's a positive association. Rhyming with Fart isn't.

Not Cooper.
The surname Cooper means barrel maker.

Nathaniel is fine and has options he can choose as he gets older.

Cooper is a surname

Cooper is a dog's name. I know several doggy Coopers! I wouldn't use it on a little boy.

Nathaniel has always struck me as whiny and wet. Much prefer Nathan which seems stronger and a bit cooler.

I taught a boy called Cooper. Poor thing was known as Pooper Cooper.

Nathanial definitely! And goes better with brothers name.

Cooper is a dogs name.

sorry to pile on but round my way Cooper is a dog's name. A very popular one too!

I know a dog called Cooper too. And I think it was the dog’s name in What Lies Beneath.

Miles and Nathanial sound perfect together

Keep Cooper for your dogs name
