Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

I don't think it goes tbh, but if you like it then go for it.

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?)

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

I think the problem you have is the name Corey is revolting!
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Wed 08-Jul-09 12:18:42
No, Corey Lee souns like Coralie grin.

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 dont like Corey. Is it actually a proper name?
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Mon 06-Jul-09 17:00:27
With a surname like Lee I would avoid any very modern or Americanised name - it could end up sounding a bit trailer trashy. Sorry!
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Mon 06-Jul-09 16:51:26
Perhaps it's regional but in London Corey means you've got a big dick.

Quite a name to live up to. smile

Nope, I know of two Corey-Lee's BUT that both of their first names.
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Mon 06-Jul-09 16:22:00
I just don't like Corey, with any name...
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 16:01:55
I think it is ok.
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 15:19:09
Sorry but I think you're right, it sounds like an American hyphenated first name

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
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 14:24:30
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...
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 14:16:35
I think a long first name would sound better with such a short surname, like with actor Christopher Lee.
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 14:13:24
I think it is ok. I like the name of the author Laurie Lee. It's a similar sound.

Use your name then instead of his! wink
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:44:12
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
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:36:54
I'm sorry but it would be really easy to mishear that as corny or Coralie.
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:36:50
Therefore the conclusion is that Corey is wrong rather than the surname.
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:35:57
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.grin

Sorry!

i knew a girl at uni called coralie said the same way as corey lee.

so people might assume your ds is a dd?!
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:27:36
Could you double barrell it with yours?

Corey Lee-?
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:26:13
blasted surname
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:24:02
Nope sounds like you have forgotten to add on the surname
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 13:21:57
Really like Corey but it doesn't go with dp's surname does it?
