i like it but it is super popular around here right now. I know two baby boys in the last 5 months that were named Cole and my 6 yr old son had three Coles in his Kindergarten. As for the babies, someone said the name was big regionally because the Phillies just won the world series and their MVP was Cole Hamels.
Re: WDYT of the name Cole?
I wanted to possibly name our boy this (my maiden name is Cole), but then my brother decided to start going by "cole", which ruined it for me.
But- it's DS's middle name.
So- obviously I like it!

I love it. I think it is very handsome, very simple, for a kid or a grown up.
It would be on the top of my list because it sounds great with our last name, but my husband doesn't like it ("too preppy").
I'm a nanny/teacher and the daughter of a teacher and have known 3 Coles in the last 10 years. Not overly popular, at least in my area.
