New name for our baby - need your thoughts!

[luvmyfam444]

awww - I like keeping the traditio of the same letter name - wouldn't want him to feel left out if the rest of the family has "M" names...

BUT as far as your question I really like the name COoper I think it's great - but then again I can't think of ANY nicknames for it - good or bad - but if you can then it's gonna bug you....

I don't like it, but I don't think many people would like the name I want if our baby is a girl so really, take others opinions with a grain of salt. The reason I don't like it is I get reminded of this substitute teacher in my high school, Mr. Cooper, who used to reenact the Ferris Bueller movie everytime he subbed. He's repeat in that monotonous tone "Bueller, Bueller" and got very old after the 2nd or 3rd time he subbed. Then there's the show Hanging with Mr. Cooper that I never really liked. So stupid things like that are what I think of with the name making me not like it, otherwise I'm sure I'd think it's fine.

My boyfriend's nephews name is Quinn. I think that's cute. Cooper is cute, too! I also like Mason!

My friend's son's name is Quinn and she used to call him Quinnie the Pooh when he was little. He's about 9 now and my special pal. When we're out in public, I like to lean over and whisper in his ear, "Hey, there, Quinnie the Pooh." He gives me a fierce glare and says, "DO NOT say that out loud!"

To the OP--everyone will have an opinion on baby names. As long as you pick something you and your DH like, that's all that matters. When DD tells me she hates her name, I tell her that when she grows up, she'll get to torture her own child with a name they dislike.

Its a great name for a pet.

My friend's son is named Cooper. I love it. Everyone seems to shorten it to Coop.
But whatever name you choose, try to say it outloud with the middle name when you're angry. My DSD named her child Jaslyn Mystique. I can't help but chuckle when I hear her trying to say this in a serious tone. She just seems to trip over it.

I like it, but does it sound good with your last name? I wanted to name my ds zack when he was born but our last name is zowacki (pronounced just like it looks) so dh said no way -ryming names are weird..thats why none of our dd's names are jackie! so put the first name with the last and if it sounds good go for it..and no matter what name you pick someone will always pick a nickname you wont like.

I like the name Cooper. As for having 3 M's and the a different letter, I don't think that is a big deal at all. My parents and I are all J names and then my younger sister is an S name. It never bothered her.

I am afraid that I do not like that name.

I usually LOVE last names as first names... I think that practice has a respectable aire... However, with cooper, All I can think of is chicken coop. or poop, or stoop.... I can hear "Cooper - Cooper - pooper scooper"

LOL!!!!

Sorry to be negative. I am sure it is a perfectly wonderful name. And as others have said, it is your child, and what matters is what you think of the name!

PS: I have no problem with using another name that begins with M.... You have already established a track record, so why not go for it!!!! Then your child will always have a real strong feeling of being included in the family identity. (Not that I advise all names being similar. But, hey, since you are already there, I think it is a plus.) Surely there are some interesting and unique names that begin with 'M' !

Its a great name for a pet.

That is what I thought as well. Sorry! It just reminds me of a dog's name. With this in mind - when my I was pregnant, my DH & I had 1 rule: do not discuss baby names with anyone! Tell everyone the name you have chosen AFTER the baby is born...that way you will only hear the positives -rarely do you find someone negative enough to make a bad comment after you have named your child ....unless it is my mother-in-law!

I like the name but it doesn't really matter what I think or anyone else. This is your child and you can name him or her whatever you like or means the most to you. It is only yours and your husband's decision.

Personally, I don't like the name, but agree with everything else SC Minnie says.

 

[Mermaid02]

I like it. I like Sawyer and Drew also.

 

[redshoes]

I like it too. My test for names is this: does it sound good 600 times in a row. As in: Cooper stop it, Cooper knock it off, Cooper I told you not to touch that.... and on and on . As you can tell I have two little boys, who although I love both of their names- I really get tired of repeating them over and over again all day long. Seriously though, find a name that your husband and you can agree on and will grow with the child into adulthood.

This is exactly what I was going to say! I almost let some strangers on another message board bully me out of naming my daughter Cameryn becaise is it a "boys name." Tell that to Cameron Diaz.
