I really like it, because it makes me think of Mini Coopers, which I absolutely love! I only like it for a boy, not feminine enough for a girl.

Cooper is what Gideon calls a computeror he did until his speech became more refined (quite some time ago, now that I think of it). Now he says "computer" like everybody else. (He's almost four, btw.)I really like the name Cooper. I can't even tell you why. I know a couple of Carter's and that name really makes me itch, whereas the incredibly similar Cooper sounds downright sexy. Go figure.Honestly, though, I am a bit more of a traditionalist when it comes to fn's and would probably save this gem for a mn. But thumbs definitely up.
ETA And please for God's sake whatever you do don't use it for a girl. Gross. Name her Madison if you have to; hell, name her Carter, but not this. Let the boys keep one trendy surname name!~Lillian~

I love Cooper for a girl. It's okay on a boy, but if I were going to use it, it'd be on a girl. My reasoning is that my grandmother's maiden name was Cooper and I'd use it to honor her and it just doesn't feel right on a boy. Dh won't let me use it no matter what though.~Erin Lee, wife of Matthew James, mama to Sarah Patrice~

I like Cooper..for a boy. Not at all for a girl.

I am so tired of this surname as fn trend. When will it go away? My stock response is it's fine if the surname is from your own family tree -- otherwise it's tacky. But to be honest, the rampant practice of using anyone else's surname has diluted the beauty of handing down heritage so much that I don't even like it in the fn position. The mn position seems the best place anymore.Sorry to be such a wet blanket.

I really like Cooper for a boy. For a girl its horrible.

I used to think it was cute, but now it's gotten quite trendy (if not overly popular, yet). Also, there's a huge teasing possibility in early childhood with "Cooper Pooper". :( ~Heather~

I don't like it for either gender, all I see is "pooper" sorry.Noah, 4 - "Dad, I love a fun guy!"
Dan - "Oh really? Pumpkin, I'm so glad you think i'm a fun guy!"
Noah, 4 - "No! Dad! I like fungi! you know mushrooms!".

It has grown on me a lot lately, although I doubt that I'd ever use it. I only like it for a boy. I can't at all see it as a girl's name; it just sounds too masculine imo.

Only on a boy. Why would you use it for a girl? I like it but I would never use it. Way to many with that last name in my area.
