There’s a new name in the celebrity baby naming world. Believe it or not, there have been two baby Cosimas born in the last few weeks. What are the odds of that?
First, a bit about the name Cosima. It’s a Greek name that means “universe, order.” It’s the feminine form of Cosmo. It has the same root as words like cosmos, cosmic and cosmonaut. No surprise, you’ll find the name in the Astronomy chapter of BABY NAMES MADE EASY.
So what celebs chose Cosima?
COSIMA #1
First we have Cosima Violet – the daughter of Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughn. She was born on May 14, 2010. Older siblings include Caspar who’s 7 and Clementine who’s 5 ½. Apparently they’re going with the “C” initial theme from mom Claudia’s name. I’ve always wondered how the parent who doesn’t share the initial feels. Any thoughts?
Sibset: If I were grading this sibset match, I’d give it an A. Caspar, Clementine and Cosima make a great sibset because the names are a good style match. They all have an antique, classic, yet quirky feel.
COSIMA #2
The second Cosima is the daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars. The report I read didn’t give a birth date, but baby Cosima was apparently born in June. The couple have another daughter named Romy who’s 3 ½.
Here’s my question. What’s the baby’s last name? Is she Cosima Mars? If so, that’s a very astro-friendly name! Maybe she’s Cosima Coppola – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I really like alliteration. I know not everyone does though. Either way, this is a unique name.
Sibset: This is an interesting sibset because the names aren’t really a style match. They’re both a little quirky, so that fits, but Cosima is quite feminine while Romy is a unisex name. What do you think of that?
