It’s been a Germanic surname for quite some time.

It either feels like a silly respelling of the already trendy Cole (which I don’t like) or a very cool name with ties to eyeliner (which I do like) … but I’m not sure makeup is the best inspiration for a boys’ name.

I might be able to go for it as a GIRLS’ middle name. Elizabeth Kohl, perhaps? Cecilia Kohl? Rosalyn Kohl?

It makes me think of this product by my favorite UK make-up company:

I think I’m going to enjoy your polls!

Good thing I’m through, ’cause by #6 or 7 little Bonwit Teller would have a tough row to hoe.

Kohl as a stand alone name? Maybe. As one of three kree8tivly spelled K’s? Gak.

Cole is okay, but Kohl seems silly to me. Eyeliner is a great accessory and all, but not a naming inspiration to me. And I live a couple miles from a Kohl’s, so to me, it’s like using Macy or Nordstrom.
