A new baby boy in DD2's room is named Cotton. I have never heard that name before.
-
I dig it.
-
Not a fan!
-
Not a fan.
-
For a baby bunny? Cute!
-
I just think about that character in Scream... I think that's the only place I've heard it used as a name.
-
Ehh...
-
Not a fan
-
Like Cotton Mather? Are his parents Puritans?
-
Errrr what?
-
it's.... the fabric of our lives.
-
Or is it a surname as a firstname? Unusual, that's for sure.
-
@pinkcupcake: me too!
Bad guy in Scream!! Thumbs down! -
No.
Makes me think of the announcer from the movie Dodgeball.
-
Cotton is also the name of Hank's dad in the cartoon King of the Hill, I think.
-
not a fan
-
No no no.
-
Nope
-
no, just no
-
as in the fabric? Yeah not a fan
-
It reminds me of the guy from Scream!
-
I actually hear it on occasion around here, but I'm not a fan. Maybe for a bunny.
-
Definitely not a fan.
-
I knew a girl in high school names Cotton.
-
I don't think it's actually a name. Well, unless you're describing a kind of fabric.
Okay, obviously it is a name if people are using it, but I'm not a fan. As you could probably have guessed.
-
Don't like it!
-
@delight: haha, totally agree!
For a human? Not a fan.
-
@KatieBklyn: I thought the same thing. Were they expecting a tiny person in a black suit?
-
@KatieBklyn: Lol, Cotton Mather was also my first thought!
-
@MrsSCB: @KatieBklyn: Maybe they have another kid named Increase.
-
@mamimami: hahaha one can only hope!
-
I know of one in real life. I think it's kind of ridiculous.
-
The touch, the feel of cotton.
Oye.
-
@pinkcupcake: ditto. First thought, Scream. Second thought, farmer.
-
@redeyedtreefr0g: Yep, that's who I thought of.
Being in the south, it definitely makes me think of an old farmer.
-
not a fan.
-
My first thought was Cotton Weary, the character in Scream who was wrongly convicted for Sydney's mom's murder. I think it's kiiiiind of cool, but not cool enough that I'd consider it.
-
Cotton Eyed Joe!
-
@KatieBklyn: haha, that was my first thought too. Good old Cotton Mather; hello Salem witch trials.
I'm not a fan of the name, in part because I don't think the word cotton is a "pretty" word. (is that weird?) It's just not something I would want to hear multiple times every day.
-
@loveisstrange: I IMMEDIATELY thought "hey Cott!"
not a fan.
