I watched Les Misérables...for the 5th time or so :P and fell in love all over again with the name Cosette. Now I know that it just comes from the French "chosette" which means "little thing" and I know that it was just her pet name, with her real name being Euphrasie, but I still think it's a nice name.

Do you think it's too insubstantial or too cutesy? Do you happen to know anyone named Cosette? What do you think of Cosette nn Coco? Does it go with Estella?

Middle name suggestions?

Actually, my name is extremely close to Cosette. I like it too. I would hate to go by tacky Coco. Don't do that. I strongly prefer it to be paired with Estelle. Estella is a little too overrated.

I've never met a Cosette, but I love it! It's been on my PNL for a year or so (as a fn instead of a nn). I think it goes well with Estella as a sibling, but not as a combo.

Personally, I think it's too cutesy. It sounds like a nickname to me, as does Coco. Estella is a better name, IMO.
