Any reason why not to name her Cosette?

[Anonymous]

Les Mis is one of my favorite novels and favorite musicals. That said, Cosette has so much sadness in her life that it’s hard not to associate the name with the character. True she overcomes a lot of her past, but I don’t view her as one of the main heroes of the story.

This is too funny and spot on.

I think most people don’t know the musical, but I would be worried about the poor kid having her named misspelled and mispronounced her whole life.

My favorite musical of all time, and a beautiful name!

Everyone is going to think of the musical. Everyone.

The musical is 35 years old but also still really well known. It will annoy her throughout her life.

Was just going to post this. Go with Colette or Camille.

Lisette.


Or Miranda. That's my daughter and my former cat. Not that familiar with Sex and the City-- saw it only 2x.


I associate it with John Stewart/Stevie Nicks:


"Come on down, Miranda,

Your window's open wide

Take a chance on midnight dance

So I can see it in your eyes..."


Or, name your kid Apple or North.

It’s just such a mouthful and not easy to pronounce. It’s...clumsy.

And everyone will think of the musical. Every one.
