No, it's not a good name. It's like a nn for a servant, the way the cook (especially the cooks at lumber camps and on cattle drives, if you read stories set in those places) so often was called Cookie, whether it was a male or a female cook.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
