Yep, that's one example I was thinking of.
I think Bruce Willis and his former wife Demi' Moore's has kids names Rumer and Scout.
Cohen's not sounding too bad now!

Hmm... I can't get that out of my head from the article:
„So, what’s the deal with the name Cohen? It’s hard to precisely pin down the exact reason for its increasing popularity, but it fits into a few current American naming trends: the continued use of surnames as first names (think Jackson and Mason), as well as the popularity of boys’ names ending in “-en” (Aiden, Brayden, Jayden, ...”
... or Bid-en...could he cause a decrease in Coh-en???
Nonetheless, I like the sound of Cohen as a family name or surname.

Ha, I don't think there will be a huge uptick in naming people Bid-en!
