Baby Names

How about Lowell or Cooper?

With siblings Max(well) and Eden?  And, with a last name that starts with L.  Is Lowell L. to many L's?  It hasnt' been a problem with DS's name, though.    But maybe Maxwell and Lowell are too similar?

Re: How about Lowell or Cooper?

  • I'm not a fan of Cooper, but it's better than Lowell.

  • I would have to say way too many L's, the L's on the end will run together with the L in your last name. Plus, I have a thing about first names and last names beginning with the same letter.

    Really?  I've always liked it.  My mom says it's a strong name when the FN and LN start with the same letters.  Unfortunately, I don't like or can't use many names that start with L.

    I just think it sounds sing songy. But that is just my thing, if people do it I don't think they are crazy or anything.

  • Of the 2, I'd go with Cooper, but I'm not a big fan.

    Also, I think that Lowell and a last name starting with "L" will just run together.

    However, if you're interested in using an "L" name due to the "strong" factor that your mom mentioned, how about:

    Landon, Landry, Lawrence, Lennox, Leo, Liam, Logan, Lucas, or Lyndon

    Good luck making a decision!

    This.  I also think that it's too many L's.  I wouldnt do it.

  • Definitely too many L's with Lowell. Plus, when it's pronounced, it always sounds more like Low to me, not a fan.

    Cooper is a good name.

    This. And I've said 'Maxwell, Eden and Cooper' out loud and it sounds very well. With 'Maxwell, Eden, Lowell' Eden sounds kinda 'left out'. GL.

  • I like Cooper! Lowell, Mawell, and a last name beginning with "L" is just too much IMO.

  • Lowell is too many L's. I know a kid named Cooper and he's cute, but I'm not really a fan.

    I'm not a big fan of either. 

    How about Landon if you like L names? It's not exactly my style either but I like it better than Lowell or Cooper. 

  • I really like Cooper

  • Definitely Cooper. Lowell with an L last name is way too many l's. Plus Lowell and Maxwell are too similar for my taste.

  • I like Cooper.  But I do think Lowell is both too many Ls and too close to Maxwell.

  • Lowell sounds wimpy to me.  I think Cooper is much stronger sounding and it steers away from the alliteration issue.
  • Cooper, I really dislike Lowell
