Crushing on Cosmo 🪐

[name_u]Ever[/name_u] since I saw @ashley_rose’s Life With Beans Baby Names post last week, I’ve been crushing on [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]! :star_struck:

It feels so cute and quirky and a little bit nerdy, in a good way. There’s the Kramer connection, which I don’t actually mind, there’s the Medici connection (OK, I know that’s [name_m]Cosimo[/name_m], but close enough!)… Any other strong associations I’m missing?

What do you think of the name? What middle names would you pair with it?

The family linked above used [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m], which I think is awesome – something solid and traditional but perhaps a bit hipsterish seems to fit the vibe of [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] best.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

I think it’s kinda cool, and I’ve been thinking about it a lot since they announced the names of the twins. The main association I have is from a cartoon called Fairly OddParents, and one of the characters is named [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]. But I do think this could be another celestial name to make a rise.

Ohhh yes, I remember that! [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] and… [name_f]Wanda[/name_f]?

Yep cosmo and [name_f]Wanda[/name_f]

I love [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m], but unfortunately, there’s one fairly strong connection that might make the name trickier to wear: (Cosmopolitan magazine ā€œ[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]ā€, which might have too-strong sexual connotations).

I would do something like:
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Percival[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Theon[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Perseus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Taranis[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Lazarus[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_u]Caraway[/name_u] *(I’m not normally one for alliteration, but this is so cute)
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_u]Tiernan[/name_u]

I like [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] :blush:

Hmm :thinking: I’m someone who would even have been willing to overlook the magazine association of [name_m]Maxim[/name_m], had I not married a [name_u]Max[/name_u]! So I think I’d be OK with this… but I will ponder, thank you!

Loving the suggestions of [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Percival[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] :heart_eyes:, [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] and [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_u]Caraway[/name_u] :heart_eyes:

Thank you!

I LOVE [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]! I just named my new puppy [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the fairly odd parents connection as well as the [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] Kramer connection from Seinfeld. Also love the nn [name_m]Cos[/name_m] and Cosy.

Aww, what a fabulous name :heart_eyes_cat: [name_m]Cos[/name_m] and Cosy are adorable nicknames too.

Cosmo is a cool word and name.

I think of [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] magazine, the [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] cocktail, Kramer, and some vintage mystery I’ve forgotten the name.

I always thought it would be fun to meet twins named [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] and [name_m]Dmitri[/name_m].

I like a strong one syllable middle with [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m].

Cos is not a bad nn.

What is wrong with noting the connection to [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] magazine? It’s a thing.

These do go together brilliantly!

I’ve been loving [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] since the Life with Beans announcement too and [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] is awesome!

I love [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]! I think it fits in well with the Theos and [name_m]Leos[/name_m] while still being different and unique. I’ve had it on my list alongside [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] because I like the exuberant energy they have.

I’ve been thinking also about [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] because of this family. At first I didn’t like [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m], they were two ā€œweirdoā€ names together, but [name_m]Wilfred[/name_m] has the best of [name_m]William[/name_m] without being overused and I like the -fred part a lot.

Cosmo is really cool, quirky but simple and familiar. I think [name_u]Coco[/name_u] or [name_f]Momo[/name_f] would be a cute nickname for a baby.

You are UK based right? You are maybe too young for this but people in the 35-45 age bracket will definitely remember [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] and Dibbs on the kids TV Programme You and Me in the 80s.

I’m afraid that’s my primary association but I’m sure most people 30 and younger will never have heard of it so it’s fine to use nowadays :slight_smile:

UK based, yes. And I’ve never heard of [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] and Dibbs! [name_m]Just[/name_m] googled and it looks like they’re a pair of puppets. How cringeworthy are we talking? :wink:

Pretty cheesy :rofl: Like most British kids TV characters! But yeah definitely one for the older Mums only!

One of my childhood friends is called [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]! He’s 18, and our generation grew up on [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] and [name_f]Wanda[/name_f]. He does get the occasional joke when he introduces himself but he doesn’t really care. I think it’s such a handsome name and everyone who meets him finds it cool!
