Really like Corey but it doesn't go with dp's surname does it?

Nope sounds like you have forgotten to add on the surname

Could you double barrell it with yours?
Corey Lee-?
i knew a girl at uni called coralie said the same way as corey lee.
so people might assume your ds is a dd?!

Although Suzanne Shaw's little boy is called Corey, presumably the surname is Day after his father.
Corey Day - that doesn't work either.
Or it could be Corey Shaw
Or as SS has recently married JK it could be Corey King.
ROLF at Corey King.
Sorry!

Therefore the conclusion is that Corey is wrong rather than the surname.

I'm sorry but it would be really easy to mishear that as corny or Coralie.

Fimbo it's definalty his surname thats wrong - doesn't go with any names I like!
I don't want to double barrell it as my surname is 11 letters so it would be one hell of a name to write down

Use your name then instead of his!

I think it is ok. I like the name of the author Laurie Lee. It's a similar sound.

I think a long first name would sound better with such a short surname, like with actor Christopher Lee.
if Lee is the surname, than yes, Corey Lee doesn't really work that well, sorry...
so, indeed, as Mama said use a longer first name, or use 2 first names...like Corey-Aron Lee or some such thing...

I want to use dp's name as dd has his surname and one day we will get married and I'll take his name

Sorry but I think you're right, it sounds like an American hyphenated first name

I just don't like Corey, with any name...

Nope, I know of two Corey-Lee's BUT that both of their first names.

Perhaps it's regional but in London Corey means you've got a big dick.
Quite a name to live up to.

With a surname like Lee I would avoid any very modern or Americanised name - it could end up sounding a bit trailer trashy. Sorry!

I dont like Corey. Is it actually a proper name?

No, Corey Lee souns like Coralie .
Agree with TiggyR - I'd probably choose a traditional, classic name to be on the safe side. I'd also choose a 'strong' sounding first name.
I think the problem you have is the name Corey is revolting!

stripey pineapple, it's not just regional - Cory is the Romany word for penis

sonniboo and I are obviously on the same wavelength because I was thinking you need a 'strong' name and preferably at least three syllables with any one syllable name. As you picked Corey I suspect you won't like these, but I'd go for something like:
Sebastian
Benedict
Orlando
Julian (I'm starting to really like that for some reason - is it back in fashion?)
