Just makes me think of a clown or pops.

devonsmummy · 29/09/2008 12:33

Love it

FlirtyThirty · 29/09/2008 12:36

...the Clown.

Know a 35yo French woman called this.

frazzledoldbag34 · 29/09/2008 12:38

I like it. Not brave enough to use it but I do like it. Classy.

I knew someone with a standard poodle called coco.w

Great if your DD wants to be an artist.

Not so great if she wants to be a politician.

TheWoodWithinTheWall · 29/09/2008 12:46

Trashy.

It makes me think of the song lyrics ....with brown coco skin and curly black hair.

Kids from Fame.

I like it, but beware the zeitgeist - DH's cousin just called his babe this - I have a sneaky feeling it's going to shoot up the top 10 list - you'll get to nursery and they'll be 5 Coco's in her class.

But it's nice - depends on where you are really - (is going to get flamed for regional snobbery I'm sure). Are you in a metropolis where a lot of kids have more unusual names? If so, go for it. I think of Coco Chanel....no classier dame than that.

MaryAnnSingleton · 29/09/2008 13:13

only if you are French - wanky otherwise

Sycamoretree · 29/09/2008 13:15

Aw, bless you Spareparts, I just check you out in case you were in fact, my DH's cousin's wife looking for some retrospective vindication. I see you have been lurking on these baby name threads quite heavily! I think this is one of the nicest if all discussed.

Oh, and my DD has Mae as her middle name!

gladders · 29/09/2008 13:25

awful in any language IMO

Depends where you live - I knew a Coco Rose -father investment banker, mother, can't remember but something faaaabulous dahl-ing. Parents lived in Singapore yadda yadda. I don't know anyone else like this btw and lost touch with them years back.

On the other hand if you live in a grimy northern town (like ours), adjoining a rough estate which sends its kids to the same school as yours then I think no - not for a minute.

LynetteScavo · 29/09/2008 14:03

I like it. If we'e called DD Claudia, which we nearly did, I would have shortend it to Coco, which DH would never have agreed to in a million years.
