Cole

[busterk]

I really like this name, DH not so keen.

Honest opinions.

Erm...

It would be okay if you have a short surname.

Surname is quite plain and common.

Thanks for replying FelineFine.

Yuck.

I know a cole.

short for Colin

Cole Porter

Vile, sorry. He will get called Arsecole by mean kids too.

I take it you don't like branflake? Ha Ha

I like it - although I'm not sure of the type of person - ie age mostly - that it suits. It was Hayley Joel Osmet's name in The Sixth Sense and didn't seem to work for him (consequently it reminds me of Toni Colette...) so I'm not sure it suits a little boy. But at the same time, I'm not sure it suits an older man either...

Tricky...

Its my nephews name, they have a long surname. It wouldn't be one of my choices but it suits him. He is 8.

Cole and Dylan Sprouse are the Disney Channel twins that play Zak and Cody so it may become more popular.

It's my ds's name although spelt Coel (Welsh). It suits him and is unusual (dd's name became popular just as she was born so nice to have one a bit more individual) but you will forever have to repeat it as people seem to hear Carl.

I am not expecting I have just liked this name for ages and wanted to get a feel for other people's opinions.

My DD has the most popular girls name around just now so trying to think of something not as popular.

LaaDeDa, I didn't realise how popular dd's name was when I had her.

So i agree with you one not quite a popular would be nice.

I like it.

Thanks FelineFine, have you had a chance to think about it?

Yes, it won't get too common either.

I was slightly swayed as I was thinking about Ashley Cole wanker but as a first name it would be nice.

I like one syllable names, very good for shouting purposes.

nope don't like it sorry. makes me think instantly of cashley cole....and he is git....

Yes it's nice as it (obviously!) isn't to everyone's taste so there won't be loads but it's not soooo unusual people haven't got a clue how to pronounce it either.

Tom Cruise played a character called Cole Trickle in the Days of Thunder - racing car flick, met Nicole Kidman in it.

I quite like it. But not for the that reason...

my dh is colin but everyone calls him cole.
i think it is a young trendy name but maybe i'm biased

i would consider on my list if it wasn't dh's name.

however, people sometimes think his name is carl!

I like it

An ex work colleague called her son Cole and the 'I see dead people' boy in The Sixth Sense was called Cole.

I quite like it.

my cousins lb is called cole it suits him
