Let rip girls- honest opinions please

[jk1]

I like:

Nicole - aka Coco for a girl

or

Reuben for a boy

any reason I should avoid theese? My DH is not conivinced on Reuben. So told him the Mumsnet ladies would give us an honest opinion!

Reuben is a middle aged man with blonde highlights and white slip on shoes

and a yacht -ggirl, you forgot the yacht

hahaha yes the yacht

love them both

if nobody has suggested it (haven't read whole thread)

how about Nico as nn for nicole

I like Coco for Charlotte

and rudy for reuben

Yuk @ Reuben, especially as my friend has a great big slobbery dog called Reuben. Hmmmm, jury's out on Nicole Quite like it in a quirky kinda way. That ok!!?

Not keen on Reuben.

sorry, I hate both those names.

ggirl, not getting the slip on shoes vibe for Reuben at all (but you made me laugh )

always liked Reuben or Ruben, international too.

Nicole is pretty and totally unpretentious IMO - I would wait and see if I felt like calling her Coco or not, think Nick and Nicky are fine.

The Ruben vision makes me giggle - as long as he takes mummy out on the yatch!

I would go for Nicola rather than Nicole, I think. Nicole just seems a bit less classy/grown up, if you know what I mean. I really like both Coco and Reuben. If I wanted Coco for a shortening, I think I'd be looking for a different long name to shorten it from, really.

Really, Lucicle? I think the opposite - to me, Nicole seems more upmarket than Nicola.
