Cooper

Cooper is an OK name. Plus many English names are first names (ex: Morgan, Evans, Madison) and a lot of human names are used for dogs,(ex:Max, Bailey).

Ugly, don’t do this to your child.

Could not see this on an adult. Also, someone pointed out that it rhymes with "pooper" and I'm sorry but I can't unhear it now. It's immature, but true.
It honestly sounds super gross.

This name is fine. Most Coopers are decent people. Solid 8/10 name.

The name Cooper. This is a name that I have despised since I laid my eyes on anybody with that name. What kind of sicko freak would ever choose to live in a world with the name Cooper. I don't think I can live in a world if my name would be Cooper. I'm not saying they should do anything, I'm just saying that's me. ;). Every time I see anybody with the name Cooper I shout out, STINKY POOPER SCOOPER! And I continue to bully them until they choose to not be named Cooper. ;).

Anybody named Cooper probably is very dangerous. I think we should eliminate from our society. They remind me of death and decay. #relatable #NoMorePoopers.

Cooper is THE best name of all time. No other name can even compare. People who say Cooper the Pooper Scooper are immature and idiots. I personally would pick the name Cooper for my child 10 times out of 10. Only intelligent people are named Cooper.

My middle name, a family name, I'm a girl and I love it.

I see no problem if Anglo Americans use surnames as given names, they have a shared connection and ancestry to a specific culture and people that use them. It's beautiful thing to do.

It’s not that bad. It’s rather cute in my opinion.

Goldendoodle dog name!

When I visited America I was astounded by the number of men with English surnames as first names. I find it interesting. There were names like Hudson, Carson, Grayson, Colton, Hunter, Jackson. I think some of them make quite handsome names but at the same time surnames are supposed to be inherited.

It's awkward to say. The "coop" sound just feels gross in my mouth. It makes me think "Cooper the super pooper".

It is a normal name and a child named this will face no major issues but I still think it's extremely ugly and 2000s trendy.

Extremely unattractive. Not a fan.

I disagree with most of the comments. I like the name Cooper for a boy. It's cute and I think of someone successful and driven. I do not know any dogs named Cooper. Given how horrible the political climate is in the country (US) right now, I would rather name my son after an awesome dog over half the humans walking around. So if Cooper is a "dog's name", it is 1,000x better than many humans. Vote in for Cooper from me.

Ugly.

I've known 4 and they were all short.

I definitely think of this as a dog's name, but it's not too bad on a human.

It's acceptable as a surname, but I think it's a very strange first name to give to a person. Especially (God forbid) a girl. It doesn't sound like a legitimate name for a person.

I KNOW Cooper is an awesome name for every living thing even a plant sooooo it is the best name out there for boys.

Better as a surname.

Dog name and surname. That's all I can think about the name Cooper.

Dogs & tacky.

Very very unattractive for a human but it's fine for a pet.

SOO common for a dog's name. A bunch of dogs in my neighborhood are named Cooper.

My brother's middle name is this. It's a good name! I don't know why everybody thinks it's for a dog, it's a good name.

This is not a given name. So surname-y.

My name is Cooper, and I hate it, it's the worst name I've ever heard, it's a dog name, and every other Cooper I know are jerks, and I hate them, I wish I was called Archer instead, Cooper as a name sucks.

Personally, I think it sounds cute. Good dog name.

A good dog's name.

The only Cooper I've ever met was a girl... definitely a unisex name.

Prefer as a surname and for dogs.

We just named our baby boy Cooper! It has special meaning in my husband's family. His parents had a dog named Cooper, who they named after their beloved longtime family doctor. So I can understand those who see it as a dog name, & also those who dislike it sounding like “pooper,” though I think that’s silly as it also rhymes with “trooper” & “super!” I believe it’s gaining in popularity; “Coop & Cami” is a current popular kids show on the Disney Channel (“Coop” being a nickname for the boy Cooper). I think it’s adorable, cool, & unique all at the same time!

Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate.

Not very attractive, and I really dislike it on a girl.

This is my name. I've always thought of it as a weird name, but a good one. I've only met 4 or 5 other Coopers. Plus 3 or 4 dogs.

I absolutely hate the name Cooper, it is absolute garbage.

My son is named Cooper (born 2012) and we LOVE it! Sure, it sounded like a dog's name and we were first considering it for a middle name. But we decided it went better as a first name since we choose for his middle name (Gene) after my grandfather who recently died of Alzheimer's disease. They were so much alike and people who meet my son now say he looks just like his great-grandfather!
He occasionally meets that one dumb kid who rhymes his name with ”pooper” but, if that's the worst he gets, we tell him he's lucky! Most only call him Super Cooper. We like to call him Kupa Troopa like the character in the Mario games.

"Cooper Cooper, pooper scooper!"

Such a cute name! I know a few Coopers and they are all so nice!

I like it, the word 'pooper' is only used by 3 year olds so maybe a bit teasing? These comments are making me think twice...

Ridiculous, unintelligent, and unpleasant-looking name. The spelling looks just as stupid as the pronunciation sounds. The only Coopers I have known have all been arrogant jerks. I'd even pick another surname-y name, like "Tucker" over this trash.

Even though I love the way it sounds (makes me think of the character from Twin Peaks) it has a weak, occupational meaning. Cooper is better suited for a housepet.

I only like it because of Special Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks, and Gordon Cooper the renowned American pilot.

My name is Cooper and I am a female. I love my name. Yes, growing up was interesting and I have not always liked my name. As a girl growing up with the name it could get complicated. I would have people make comments like "No, what's your first name?" or "Oh, I thought you would be a boy." It would get frustrating as a kid. Also kids can be cruel. I would be called Cooper the Pooper Scooper! But let's face it. If it hadn't been my name it would have been something else my weight/hair/ clothes.. etc. As I get older I have learned to really accept and love my name. I was named after my grandfather who died before my mom and dad married. I am honored to share a name. I get a lot of comments on my name and how awesome it is. My friends also call me Super Coop or Coop. I know I am the only Cooper around and I know, aside from my outstanding personality, no one will forget my name. I also know a few younger kids with the name Cooper (all boys though). Over all my name makes me feel good. I love being different. I have friends who have common names like Jennifer who hate that their names are common. So if you choose to name your kid Cooper, GREAT! Don't forget to tell them to Rock it, and be proud of it.

My name is Cooper and I've NEVER had a problem with it. You old heads saying it rhymes with "pooper" are frankly childish. Now get on with your lives, would ya?

I LOVE the name Cooper. My daughter's name is Cooper. We were originally going to name her Chandler, but both fell in love with Cooper ❤️.

I actually first heard this name from amazing actor Bradley Cooper :) I think that this is the CUTEST name for a little boy and it would age quite well in my opinion.

This is the name of my dad's German Shepherd. His name was "Copper" when we adopted him, so we changed it slightly, but not enough to confuse the dog.

With a few exceptions, I'm not really a fan of surnames as first names, therefore I don't like Cooper.

I think the name Cooper is perfect and cute. This name rocks! :D.

Cooper pooper. Coop Poop. Chicken boy

PLEASE THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU SLAP THIS ONTO YOUR CHILD. REMEMBER THAT KIDS CAN BE CRUEL! I wouldn't mind this name at all if it didn't rhyme with something.

I agree with all the posters who said that Cooper is primarily a dog's name, not only because it sounds odd to me as a boy's first name, but because the numbers confirm it. In the United States, Cooper is the 12th most common name for male dogs, just behind Buster and Duke. As a boy's name, it's much farther down the list at #67, and it didn't break into the top 100 until 2004. In light of the numbers, it's not surprising that most people think of Cooper as a dog's name. I love dogs, so I'd get a chuckle if a couple named their sons Rover, Cooper, and Fido... but obviously that would be cruel, so please don't.

My dogs' name is Cooper. And I know a little boy about 2 years old named Cooper. I like it, but I don't think I could ever name a child after my dog.

I really think this should be left as a last name. And please don't name a little girl this. Just no.

I think this would be a really cute and unique name for a girl! I don't think it's what I would choose if I had a little girl, but maybe for a character in a story or something it would work.

This name sounds surname-y and modern. No offense to anyone who has this name, but to me it just doesn't sound intelligent or dignified at all. Not only that, but it sounds like a dog's name! (I'm so surprised I'm the first person to say that!) I'm disgusted that "names" like this become so popular so suddenly. It'll die down in five years and become another dated, trashy fad name like so many others that have for some reason beyond me, made it into the top 100.

Normally I'm not into surname-y or occupational names, but I quite like Cooper. It's cute on a little boy without sounding ridiculous on an adult. I have a seven-year-old cousin named Cooper, and we call him Super Duper Mr. Cooper, which he loves.

To be honest, I never even noticed this name rhymes with "pooper", and really, I don't care. I think it's a pretty nice name. I don't think I'd use for any children of mine (it sounds more like a nice character name to me), but if someone else likes enough to use it on your son, go right ahead! Only little kids would say a thing like that, and your son will only be a little kid for a fraction of his life. Also, in this day and age, I think its gotten common enough that most kids wouldn't tease someone with it anyway. I think they would more likely to pick on the name if it was unpopular or something. It's a nice name, and although it's not one of my favorites, I really don't see anything wrong with it. Good choice!

My name is Cooper, and I am a girl. I first started off hating my name because it was something different and I was made fun of. However the name now fits me, I love it! I was named for my grandfather (whom I never had the pleasure of meeting). My grandfather was well loved and for me to carry that name on is a blessing. I think the more interesting the name the better. As for being made fun of, it's easy to pick on someone even with the most common of names. So please before you decide to hate something because of what it rhymes with, stop and think about how easy it is to make fun of someone else for a reason other than their name.

I think Cooper has to be one of the most disgusting boys name out there! I mean why Cooper, why?!

Considering what this name rhymes with, it's surprising to see it so trendy now. I've even seen a Cooper, Jr.; why would you want to pass on a name like that?

I love the name Cooper. A friend of mine has this name and not one person has ever teased him about it.

I quite like the name. I know a person with this name, and he never had any bad nicknames as a kid. It's a unique name without being crazy. Everyone calls him Coop, and even in high school he never had any problems!

Don't you realize what this rhymes with? And I'm sickened by the fact that it's rising up the charts at sonic speed.

I'm not overly fond of this as a name because when I think "Cooper" I think "barrel maker" before anything else. To me, it's like naming your kid "Blacksmith." I don't hate the name or anything, it just strikes me as odd.

Well, it is a cool nickname for a guy with the last name of Cooper. It's a bit surname-y as a first name, but it sounds pretty cool. The name is very massculine, and I find it ridiculous on any females, including tomboys and the masculine and androgynous women. Only as a nickname for their surname if it's Cooper can this be used on females without sounding like crap. And who the hell uses the word 'pooper' after the age of 15 anyway? Some dimwitted frat boy? Sheesh, grow up.

Sorry, I don't like the name Cooper either. I do think of "pooper Cooper" or "pooper scooper." Or even "poop coop." And I don't think I'm immature for noticing that it rhymes with certain words. That's the way language works. But hey, if someone else likes the name, more power to him/her.

I love the name Cooper. I especially love it for a girl, because in the series Circle of Three, one of the main characters name is Cooper, and she's a girl. Cooper Point is also the name of the street I live on.

I like the name Cooper! And yes, it does rhyme with pooper, but hey! What about SUPER? My brother's name is Cooper, and when it is his turn to clean up our dog's "mess", we call him "Cooper the Super Pooper Scooper". He doesn't get teased because of it, and it is unique. He really enjoys his name, too.

Overused? POOPER? I have no idea where you are coming from on the first one and the second one is just immature.

I have to agree with the above comment, overused? and pooper? This is a cool name that you don't hear of often.

This name is overused and sounds snotty.

I'll be frank: because of its resemblence to "pooper", I do not like this name and I secretly shiver with disgust when I hear it.

Cooper is an awesome name for a boy. I just finished reading a book where one of the characters name was Cooper and it just stuck with me and I thought of what a cool name it is.

On a video game, a character's name is Sly Cooper, and Cooper is the last name. If you ask me, I would use this name as a middle name because your child will be made fun of if this is his first name. I know this because COOPER RHYMES WITH POOPER.

This is my absolute favorite name. It's perfect for a little boy.
