I had a friend who named her son Cole in 2006. I found it kind of funny because Cole, combined with her surname, sounded so so so much like the hero of a horrible romance novel. Naturally, I don't want to divulge her surname, but trust me, it does.
I don't think it's plain, no. But it's not a big favorite of mine, because it makes me think of coal, Nat King Cole, and Old King Cole. I don't know---it just sounds like the word "coal." Or someone with a cold saying "cold." "I have a really bad cole." Just not a big fan.

I don't think it's too plain. I love it! It reminds me of a sweet and thoughtful little boy. It's a name I wouldn't mind hearing a little more often.

Not plain at all. It's handsome.
I think one-syllable names pack a surprising punch--a lot of energy in a small package--and Cole is no exception to that.

It's one of my favorites! I also like it as a nn for Colton or Nicholas.

I loathe it inexplicably. It seems like a void of happiness and beauty. Even Coal would be better.

not to be, you know, histrionic about it. lol

It's ok, but kinda boring. That said, I think I prefer it to some of the other trends.

It's not a favorite of mine. I find it rather boring, which is quite weird since I've never met one (being a Swede and all). I think I would prefer it as a nickname, for example Nicholas, Colton etc.

I like Cole a lot. Probably not enough to use but it is very handsome.
It actually works quite nicely with some long fns...I'm thinking along the lines of Phinneas Cole or Leonidas Cole

No, not too plain at all. I like it. :-)

Naw, I don't mind it at all. Simple and versatile. I can see Cole studying in a university library. Or canoeing in the woods for a week.
I know a Cole (age 12) whose brother is Caden (he's 10ish so it was a bit before the boom of -adens)
And I know a Cole (age 30ish) whose brothers are Drew and Brock. I don't really like Brock, but I like the one-syllable theme of this sibset. And Drew and Cole are awesome together!

I like Cole a lot. It's probably one of my favorite monosyllabic boy names. :)
