Coop Halliwell

Coop is short for Cupid. It is unknown whether this is actually his name or if he even has a name as the original cupid told them to call him cupid for lack of something better. When he first met Phoebe, he told her that his mission was to help her find love and he tried to set her up with a coworker, going so far as to be the Cyrano de Bergerac to Michael's Christian. That didn't stop him from falling for Phoebe and when they learned that their relationship wasn't actually forbidden, they started dating. They were married by the Angel of Destiny. Approximately nine months later, they had a daughter whom they named Prudence Johnna Halliwell.

It is learned in Cupid's Harrow, that Coop's last name most likely is Coopersmith and that, at some point in the past, Coop's family were miners. The Coopersmith family has a tradition of making a cake shaped like the Coopersmith Mine for every special occasion. It is possible that Coop is short for Coopersmith and that he was called that because he died before he was named. If this is true then it is not something Coop knew as he explained it as being short for Cupid. It could also be a combination of the two.
