My next door neighbor growing up was Coco. She'd be in hee late 20s now. I never got used to it. I teach two teenage ones too.

I don’t like this name as a full name. I’m not trying to be rude, but I can’t take it seriously. I think of the Coco Puffs commercial (“I’m cuckoo for Coco Puffs!”). As a nickname, it’s a very cute name. It would also make a nice name for a pet.

Full name ideas:
Cory
Corinne
Cora
Coralie
Corabeth
Colette
Cole
Colin/Collin
Connor
Cody

I think it’s babyish. It’s cute as a nickname for a young girl but not as a given name. I like it for a dog or cat.

There was a famous English entertainer called Coco the Clown and it reminds me of him and of cocoa - not a fan. However, it would make a cute nn for Coralie - a name I like.

Very childish. Self-consciously evoking an image of glamour via Coco Chanel (a poor namesake), but more reminiscent of chocolatey drinks. Gabrielle "Coco" would work best.

I'll go with Coco Gioconda.

It's very babyish, even as a nn. I know a Courtney who was called Coco by her family but only till she was probably about eight. I have also known a dog named Coco.

I know a Sequoia who goes by Coco.

My great grandfather had a sister called "Coco" but in her case it was a nickname for something totally unrelated: Marcelle. No idea how she got it! Her sisters had pretty jazzy nicknames too -Toni and Gibby.

I think Coco is pretty cute, but I don't know if I'd use it - my friend got there first and named her cat this :) If I did use it, I might use it as a nickname for something like Cornelia.

I don’t think it works as a full name but it’s a cute non for names containing the element “co”, and of course for Gabrielle!
