Is it cruel to name him Cooper?

BerriGirl

The name has grown on me and it's #1 on our list. But I'm wondering if he'll be relentlessly teased and called pooper all the time. WDYT? Is he destined to a life of verbal abuse?

(Note our other son's name is Jack, so you can imagine what kind of teasing might ensue with that one...)

When I see Cooper, I always think Cooper the pooper because I read that on here a long time ago and it stuck with me. The name is NMS at all. That being said, I think kids will tease with any name and if they don't, they'll pick something else to tease about.

lol I didn't even think of pooper when I read the subject line. I love Cooper, I knew one in high school, the only nickname he ever had was Coop, which I thought was cute too.

I like the name Cooper. I think that you can get teasing with any name these days..

I totally don't think "pooper" when I hear "Cooper." I agree with pp that kids will find something to make fun of for any name, so just pick one you like.

I love the name, go for it!

I think it's better as a dog's name, personally, but it's not the worst name in the world either.

Apparently, all of  my faves or "dog names." Jack, Sam, Max, Cooper... Sadie for a girl. What can I say... I grew up with cats.

I wasn't going to say it but my dog's name is Cooper and now years later I wish I didn't name him that b/c I would love it for a son!  Go for it; do what I can't !

I really dont think it would be an issue. Ive known a ton of Coopers and never once heard Cooper the pooper. Clever, yes, lol but I dont think it would be an issue. Its a great name!

I'd be more worried about the Anderson Cooper connection! Lol

 (Kidding! It's a fine name. As long as your last name doesn't end in -er.)

not cruel but it's a little trendy for me. i think it would go well with jack, though, and it seems like you don't mind more popular names so i would go for it.

I love the name- it's adorable.

Love the name Cooper.

I've known a lot of people with the last name Cooper who go by Coop or Cooper.  Never once thought "pooper."

I think it's definitely an easy-to-make-fun-of kind of name.

My best friend named her little boy Cooper. He is a DOLL!! The name fits him perfectly!! Go for it!! I think it's a sweet name.

I like Cooper.

We had a cat named Cooper, and I've known several friends who have also had pets (cats and dogs) named Cooper.  So to me, it's better suited for an animal than a child.

I also think it sounds more like a dogs name.

That's my son's name. I love it and we call him coop, or coopy. Like ppl said if you love a name then use it. Kids can be crule and you never know what they will make fun of each other for.

colesgirl

I personally would not worry about "pooper." There is something about every name that kids can make fun of. I know a 1 year old named Cooper and he is such a cutie.
