Comments and insights on the name Cooper: | Edit

My first son's name is Cooper. I still love the name.

when I was pregnant, my niece (2 at the time) called him Pooker for a long time. We loved it, and still occasionally refer to him as Pooker.

Im actually considering the name Cooper for a girl.

Personal experiences with the name Cooper: | Edit

My surname is Cooper, and I find it somewhat silly that it is becoming such a popular first name. It refers to a person whose profession is making barrels. It would be like naming a child Wainscot or Thatcher. Also, schoolyard children will call you Pooper Scooper.

My son is named Cooper. We love it...just uncommon enough. I am pregnant and we want a similar name for the next baby. We are considering Avery for a boy.

My dad had a mate who worked for the police named Cooper, so he was Cooper the Copper haha

My son is named Cooper and he is 11. We live in a very small Rural community (4000 in our town and maybe 20,000 combined in all 5 surrounding towns) and since he was born there have been 7 other babies in our area named Cooper...it's becoming quite popular in our little area. We named him after a friend in college who's last name was Cooper and we always called Coop. Now we call our son Coop, but when he's playing baseball he's frequently called Super Coop, or Super Scooper Cooper...because he's a great 3rd baseman and Pitcher.
