Coley for a girl?

I would like to name my baby girl Coley because it was my grandmothers nickname. BUT, what in the world would sound good as a middle name? The best thing I could come up with is Beth. Does Coley Beth Hamilton sound OK? Any ideas?

Any chance you'd be interested in Nicola/Nicolet/Nicoletta nn Coley for your little girl?

I think it would be a good nick name for Colette or something. She will have to constantly be telling people, "it's COLey not CLOey". My name is Kendall and for about 10 years I was constantly having to convince people my name was NOT candle. not fun. anyway, something to think about. You could do Colette Elisabeth, that way you get your Coley, or Lottie, and the Beth part.

I agree with the other posters that said this will probably work better as a nn rather than a given name. I can't help but think of "Foley" whenever I see this name- as in, Foley catheter. :-/


I think Nicolette or Colette would work as a given fn and both sound nice with the mn Elizabeth. Good luck! :)

I love the name Coley and I like the spelling Colie better. I think Colie Beth would be really cute and I think Coley is fine as a name by itself- I don't think you have to make it a nn for a longer name. I wouldn't use Nicole either, Coley is so much more original and way cuter. Some more suggestions:

Coley Michelle
Coley Shae
Coley Layne
Coley Brooke
Coley Dawn
Coley Ember/Emberlynn
Coley Paige
Coley Wynne
Coley Willow
Coley Sue
Coley Jane
Coley Adair
Coley Annette
Coley Blair
Coley Brynn
Coley Camille
Coley Charlotte
Coley Diem
Coley Ellasyn
Coley Eve
Coley Harper
Coley Helene
Coley Hope
Coley Isys
Coley Jewel
Coley Liese
Coley Love
Coley Monet
Coley Morgan
Coley Opal
Coley Prue
Coley Pearl
Coley Quinn
Coley Taylor
Coley Violet

I agree. I think Coley is SUCH a cute name. My best friend's name is Nicole and her mom ALWAYS

It's nice to have a really cute name when you're a little girl but when she grows up, she might want something that sounds more professional and formal.

Cleora was my Grandmothers given name.

I love old-fashioned names so I would use Cleora in a heartbeat.

I think Coley is adorable, and love it as a nn for any of the full names provided. I can suggest mn's, but ti would be easier if I knew which full name you were going with for flow purposes.


Beth works nicely.
