Middle name Thomas Arthur (not like that really matters) 😂

Really hoping for a boy because I cant find 1 girls name I like but out of the 2 above which is nicer? Thanks 😁

Koby is a bit like Knobby

MercyBodle · 25/04/2019 08:14

I prefer Curtis.

Disfordarkchocolate · 25/04/2019 08:12

Of the two I like Curtis more.

Icklepup · 25/04/2019 08:10

Curtis

WallisFrizz · 25/04/2019 07:00

I really like Kobe. I also like Bodie/Bode.

barryfromclareisfit · 25/04/2019 07:00

What is ‘Koby’? From whence? Koby? Sounds like a vegetable.

Curtis - known a few. All decent enough lads, given their circumstances.

Why not use your two perfectly reasonable ‘middle names’ instead?

MarthasGinYard · 25/04/2019 06:55

Koby sounds like an American/Japanese eatery

Curtis is going to be Curt most likely

The middle names are far nicer

Lydia55y · 25/04/2019 06:50

Both a bit 90s American. How about something you can shorten like Nathanial to Nate?

LucyFox · 25/04/2019 06:48

Out of the two you give, Curtis 100%
Koby is too trendy for me - it’s a name that will forever tie to an era & unfortunately will be perceived by many as a bit chavvy (sorry)
I think there are names that are much nicer - what about Cameron? Anthony? Harley? Lewis? Harrison? Jackson? Oscar? Benjamin? Daniel? Ethan? Mason? Miles?

Rosesaredead · 25/04/2019 06:26

Arthur is amazing and Thomas is nice too. Curtis and Koby are both a bit dated and nowhere near as nice. They also don't go with either of the middle names. I think you should go for Arthur Thomas. But if you really want one of the others, I think Koby is a little less bad than Curtis.

PlatypusLeague · 24/04/2019 23:22

Of the two, Curtis.

If you like surnames as first names how about

Lennox
Harrison
Jarvis
Riley
Jackson
Mason
Carter
Ellis
Bradley
Archer
Jensen
Morgan
Nixon
Maxwell

I like the middle names.

If you absolutely forced me to choose between those two first names I'd go for Curtis.

Miljah · 24/04/2019 22:48

Sorry, but, like Winchester; neither. Your middle names are far less class-divide challenging.

I didn't create this divide, I just observe it.

Your choice, but personally I wouldn't give a child of mine a class-specific name like those.

Chocmallows · 24/04/2019 22:48

I love Thomas Arthur Koby.

dreichuplands · 24/04/2019 22:48

I agree with backforgood

BackforGood · 24/04/2019 22:45

Thomas Arthur are both nice names - you've already suggested them ! Smile

I don't really like Curtis as I don't like surnames being used as first names, but I think Curtis is far better than Koby which I don't like at all.

Sophronia · 24/04/2019 22:38

@itssquidstella I just see Cody 😂 ... Has anyone got any suggestions for 'manly' boys names? And I don't mean old man 😁

@feelingsinister I do like Thomas, its DH middle name and his DB has a short version for his name so wouldn't want MIL to get all excited thinking id named the baby after its uncle 🙄 xx
