Cosmo as a baby name?

[ThatPeachSquid]

Having a baby boy. Is Cosmo cool or too much? Our surname begins with a “C” too.

I wanted our cat to be called Cosmo. DH vetoed it. Cat has Cosmo as a middle name.

I really love it. I’ve earmarked it for my next dog name as I won’t have any more children. It’s so cool.

Love it!

Just don’t give him a middle name starting with o

Or a

Absolutely not

Haha very good point

@ArtTheClownIsNotAMime

why don’t you like it?

I’m not a fan, it reminds me of the character in Bridget Jones or of a cocktail.

One of the loveliest men I’ve known was a Cosmo. He had Italian heritage and was so kind and generous to everyone. He passed a few years ago and is very much missed. So on that entirely irrelevant logic - yes to more Cosmo’s in the world 😁

Kramer?

It sounds very posh to me.

I’m not sure if I’d use it with a ‘C’ surname, it sounds a bit gimmicky. Cosmo Cooper taking his show on the road!

I'm biased because it's one of my sons' middle names. He's now 17 and thinks it's cool.

No just no

Reminds me of Dr Susan Lewis on ER who called her baby Cosmo.
Very cool....but what if you have a nerdy child??

Just no. End of.

Depends on the surname. Might sound a bit close to Cosmic.

Makes me think of Cosmo Landesman, who used to be married to Julie Burchill. Journalist with more ego than self-knowledge. Wrote a weirdly creepy Spectator piece about his right to stare at women on public transport.

I like it

I know a Cosmo , he must be around 3 now . Will admit to not quite knowing if I liked it at the time , but he really suits it .

It's daft. Ok for a Hollywood star or pop singer. Otherwise no.

I’ve always liked the name Cosmo. I’d say go for it.

Can you afford to send little Cosmo to a private school?

Because round our way you'd get seriously bullied for being a posh git with a name like that in any of the state schools.

...or Cosmos.
