I like it for a pet.

I LOVE Coco, and I'm glad to see someone else does, too.

Great for a pet......not so great for a human, imo.

My thoughts are
1) celebrity worshippers / wannabe like the wealthy / bet they would never use it if not for the "high class" precedent
2) doggie name... that pretty much sums it up. I think it can work as a nickname for certain people, but I think it makes a cheesy full name for a new baby.

Sounds like a pet. Along with Fifi, Kiki, Trixie, and Jojo.

I like it. Sounds like a name for an un-stuffy, fun loving and talented person. I once knew of a guy named Koko and I didn't really like it; I've seen Kokoa on a girl and I kind of like that.

I think it would make a cute nickname, but I'm not crazy about it as a full name. It's not horrible, but NMS anyways.

I have thoughts....Tell them not to name the poor child Coco! I mean, it's a beverage! You wouldn't name your child Wine or Champagne!

Im trying my best to discourage them but considering their second opition is Boudicca, im not sure which is worse really :S, they already have a little girl with a 'normal' name....Lila, so why they are set on such a strange assortment of names, im not really sure!

Boudicca is much better. It's a name. Coco is not.

Agree, I'd be more proud to bear Boudicca (who has a great story) than Coco, which was a nn for a fashion designer, and a common name for a dog. Boudicca was one of the first strong women in history, and even though her name is unusual, I'd rather have it than Coco.

Sadly, that will not discourage some people. I have seen BAs posted on here using various spellings of Champagne and related beverages. There is also the name Brandy, which has been around for a long time.I would much rather see them use Coco if they were interested in the history of the designer Coco Chanel than because it is a celebrity baby name, but thats just me.:)Danielle
