Did the show ever give Coop a last name? Been a while since I watched.

No, Coop is the only name that Phoebe's husband was given on the show. So like all of the Charmed Ones' daughters, fanfic writers can name him and them whatever they want, the way Piper's daughter (IF she had a daughter) will always be Prudence Melinda, the name she was going to give Wyatt if he was the girl she should've been.
According to the comics, Coop is actually a nickname based on his last name - Coopersmith. The comics never says what his first name is. Of course, the comics aren't canon, but a lot of fanfic writers count them as fanon, so that would be his last name.
The Charmed Wiki gives Halliwell as his last name, which just makes me roll my eyes. If Phoebe was Phoebe Halliwell, it's because she kept her maiden name like Patty and Piper (not Grams - her maiden name is Johnson - she became a Halliwell when she got married) - I can't see Coop taking her last name.
I've read other fanfics (including Lexi's "Progeny: Angels & Demons") that use Hart as Coop's last name, like StoryGirl did when she started Charmed Heritage, so it's become fanon (including my own fanon), but again, definitely not canon.
But whatever his name is, I truly don't think that Coop was meant to be his first name, since he tells her that she can call him Coop after telling her that he's a cupid, not that his name is Coop.

I wonder if Paul Ruditis was planning to give him a proper first name, but, for some reason, it never happened (perhaps Paul was overruled by someone higher up).
One of the few things that you and I can agree on, Esmeralda, is that the Charmed Wiki is rubbish. They can't tell canon from fanon.
Since canon is totally silent on the issue, that gives Fan Fiction writers some wiggle room here.
This is pure conjecture on my part, but I'm guessing that, like white lighters, cupids start out as regular humans.
If this is true, then it's possible that Coop had a different name when he was human. We just were never told what it was.
