I heard from a boy named Cole in my school that his name means "cabbage farmer". I just thought that was interesting.

I don't really like this name on its own. It seems too simple and short. I find it boring. But it would make an awesome short form for Nicholas, as was already mentioned.
I named my second son Cole. But I added another first name after Cole, because it is such a short name. He is Cole Anthony. I just love that Nicholas idea, that's brilliant! Cute nicknames occur from Cole as well. Like Coleslaw!
I used to not like this name because it reminded me too much of 'coal' which I wouldn't want to see as a name. But after I met a good friend, Cole, I like it because I have a good image when I think of it.

Cole Sprouse, twin brother of Dylan Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992. He has been seen in quite a few TV shows and movies, including Big Daddy and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
In the hit American TV show Charmed, one of the love interests of the sisters, and an evil demon, for the first few series is called Cole Turner, played by Julian MacMahon. The character Cole Turner is eventually vanquished/killed off.
Kind of weird that not many other people agree, but this name is sooo über trendyyy! It's not the worst name ever, but honestly, it sounds like the word coal. Which is what you get in your sticking on Christmas if your bad.

My name is Nicole, and (as I feel it is too girly for me) I'm thinking about asking people to call me Cole. I love the name, and I think it makes a great nickname for a Nicole that doesn't want to stick with the girly-sounding Nicole or Nikki (or Nicki or Nicci or Nikky or however you deign to spell it). It's a great name.
