    Thanks for your thoughts...

    as I suspected it is probably a love/hate name - not much middle ground
    oh well got quiet a few months to mull it over

    I'm with one of the others - cute (gorgeous!) name for a child but not so much for an adult.

    I like it, but I am with Lime here, it kinda reminds me of a dog's name (maybe because an ex of mine had a dog named Coco)
    But then I do think of Coco Chanel and I do like the name again. I think it goes well with your other daughters name though

    I think Coco is a cute kids name, but I don't think its a good adult name. I asked dsd she think someone with the name would be teased, called Coco pops.

    DD's best friends name is Coco so I'm very used to it (they have been best friends since they were 5 weeks old)
    I really like it, DD's best friend always gets people saying how lovely it is when they hear it for the first time

    Cute for a child, can't envisage it for an adult - walking in to an interview for a law firm for example - my name is Coco -doesn't sound professional. Justmy opinion.

    I think of chocolate lol Its a very cute kids name, but I dont know how well it would transition in adulthood. My friend also had a bird named Coco, so I just cant see a human with it.
    But its completely up to you in the end!

    Oh, so so sorry not a fan ... sounds more like a nickname than an actual name to me

    Also i had a girlfriend who had a little dog named Coco Chanel ... makes me think of that too !!

    Absolutely love it!! If you are giving a middle name too make it something less exotic and then as an adult she can make her own choice as to which name she goes by.

    I called DD #4 Daisy and got heaps of stick about it at the time but it definately suits her and she loves it (she is now 15).

    I would use Chloe then Coco as a nickname. Coco is cute for a child, Chloe is lovely for an adult. And you wouldn't really ever have to stop calling her Coco, she just might rather be Chloe offially or just at school.

    I tend to agree... and I also associate it with a pet's name.

    There was a little girl where I worked (ELC) whose name was Coco... and yes, her mother was always wearing Chanel (bags, sunnies etc). Not really my cup of tea... too much like branding for status.
