(I don't anticipate a warm response, but WTH...)
Thoughts on Coco? DH surprised me with being on board with this one, and I'm sort of obsessed with it right now.
The weird factor doesn't bother me; we have a Tallulah, so I'm already pretty used to the, "Wait, what'd you say her name was?" response.
I like it on its own, but I'll take suggestions for possible full names that allow for Coco as a NN.
Re: Coco
I think it works well with Tallulah. Not my favorite names, but I've seen worse.
I think anything that starts with Co- could have Coco as a NN. Corinne, Cora, Coraline, etc.

Is Chanel not charming? For shame!
Cocoa Puffs (and all such manner of cocoa jokes) are just waiting to happen, though. You're right about that.
Ha, yes I did. I was "alliejo." I kind of got turned off of TB for a while and deleted the account, but I missed discussing baby names so I came back.
I totally suggested this to my H when I was pregant with DD. It's so far from my typical style, but I can help but love this name.
I would try to come up with a more whimsical "Co" name
Cordelia
Coraline
Constance
Costanza
Coralie
Cosette

We recently agreed on Constance, actually. I just hate that the natural NN for that is Connie. I know that as the parents, you kind of enforce the NN, but...having two kids, the most natural NN just comes. By #3, I'm pretty sure I'll be doing good just to call the right kid by the right name, much less enforce a NN.
Yeah-- I don't like Connie either, but we were total NN enforcers with DD and everyone has followed suit and calls her Josie instead of Joey or just Jo. I totally get the concern.

Meh. Famous animals are even lower on my radar than the Kardashians.

Like as in Ice loves Coco?
Ha! I responded before reading through the entire thread, and you really called it.
Haha, no, as in Coco Chanel. I have to assume her association has more staying power than this person who (I assume?) is dating...Vanilla Ice? Ice Cube? Whoever. Or else my faith in humanity will be lost.

**RATE A NAME HERE!**
Nono
I think Tallulah & Colette, nn Coco sound great though. I just imagine "Coco Lastname" on a resume one day in the future and i cringe.
There were two Coco/Kokos in my high school. It didn't really occur to me that it was kind of a strange name until seeing people bash it on here. I guess I'm just used to it.
It was cute on them, but I would probably pick a formal name with Coco as a nickname. Like PP said, anything starting with Co would be fine.
P.S. one of those girls' parents were famous, so it was kind of a celebrity baby name.
