[Opinions] Re: Cohen
in reply to a message by SJayne
I really like it. I think it has a nice sound; solid but also soft and warm at the same time. I also like the Leonard Cohen association. I made a poll about this name a few years ago and was kind of shocked by how many people hate the name: http://www.behindthename.com/polls/179664 I don't understand what there is to hate about it. In addition to Leonard Cohen, I also think of Sacha Baron Cohen who I don't know much about, but I think he's pretty funny.

I agree that it has a soft nice sound but is still strong and solid which is hard to achieve for boys names. I've had that happen with a few other names in the polls too, especially with Nadia and Conrad. It's funny how sometimes the comments people make on the boards don't really match up with the poll results. But I don't think a bad poll result would stop me from using a name. Only is someone pointed out something terribly obviously wrong with a name or a potential for teasing
Yes, it's difficult to get a good balance of strong and soft when it comes to boy names. I think there is a different group of people voting on the polls than there is on this board, which is probably a good thing because it allows for more diversity with opinions. I always seem to get bad results with my polls though and it does make me want to refrain from using certain names. :(
