Cooper??

Is this popular where you live? Love it or hate it?

No, there aren't many barrel makers in my area at all.

(Hate it.)

I know only one. He goes by Coop. He's a cutie!

Semi popular.  I'm kind of lukewarm on the name.

I don't think it's very popular in my area (yet). It's okay - I don't hate it.

I hate it. I live in NYC, and all I can think of is people yelling "Hey, Coopa!" Not cute.

I haven't met any Coopers in a long time. I'm not a fan of the name.

My personal take: I've known way too many dogs named Cooper to consider it for a human. Same thing for Bailey, Maya, and a host of other names. That's the downside of having worked in a veterinary practice for two years.

I have a dog named Cooper (he came with the name, so it has grown on me...for a dog anyway).  My aunt also used to have a cat named Cooper.  I think it's fine for a pet, but I don't like it for a human.

Personally, I think it's really sweet, and I love the nickname Coop.

 I don't think it's at all popular where I live.  It's not on the top 100 names in my country (it only goes up to 100 though so I don't know about in the top 1000) but I've never met anyone with that name.

I don't HATE it, it's better than Brayden, etc..  To me, it's one of those last names that has become a first name.  Not a huge fan.

I like it, it's on our list.

As far as people commenting it's a "pet name", my name is Abby and I actually know more pets than people named Abby.  It's a huge trend right now for people to name their pets with human names.

If you don't live where I live, it doesn't really matter if it's popular where I live. I looked it up on ssa.gov, and it was ranked 76 in 2010, and has been steadily growing in popularity for the last 30 years. 

I like the way the name sounds (I have a weakness for -er names), but I have heard of too many dogs named Cooper for it to feel like a human name. Then again, I love Sadie and apparently that's a commonly used dog name too. So I think if I were to meet a baby named Cooper, it would cancel the dog association and I could grow to like it more and more.

Good luck!

Its my dog's name. Its actually one of the top 20 most popular dog names right now.

Sorry, Cooper will always be a dog name to me.  Really dislike it for a baby.

I like it, its an actual name and don't fall into the overly popular Aidan, Brayden, Hayden.  Plus, a nickname like Coop or Coops sounds cool.

We were thinking of Rory for our son and a very close friend said, oh that is a dogs name.  I love that name but can't get that annoying comment out of my head.  Cooper and Rory don't remind me of pet names... Cujo, Spot & Rover maybe, yes.  but not Cooper or Rory.

I absolutely love this name.  The only reason I didn't name my son this was because a family member of mine said that kids would call him pooper.  Totally bummed me out.  I still love the name and my next son I'm naming Cooper.  It's not terribly popular where I live,maybe that's why I like it.
