I kind of like it and think it can transcend the musical. That said, my old neighbor had a dog named Cosette.

Odette is Swan Lake to me--doesn't avoid the reference issue. (Plus I think it's ugly).

Colette is pretty.

So maybe, technically a happy ending? But a lousy life.

Take pity on your child and don’t do it. Give her a solid name that she and others can pronounce and can spell, with no relationship to famous people or stories. Surely there is a family name you can use?

24601 is the prisoner number of one of the other main characters in the musical (Les Miserables). "Bring me prisoner 24601." etc.
