Hughie is a thousand times better.

TatianaLarina · 14/05/2019 20:33

Hughie is better tbh.

floramcdougal · 14/05/2019 20:31

@KKKK1 yes thanks, you asked which was best? The answer I should have posted was; None of them, they’re all horrible. My apologies.

Would it make you all feel better if I said my other option from DH is HUGHIE!?

All of them are awful

@KKKK1
Do you think you can post on MN and demand only a certain type of answer?
At least you know now what a god awful name Kobeeebe is before you saddle your child with it, remember cute on a 4 yr old not so much on a 35 yr old hairy builder 🙄😂

Where do you live OP?

In the north it will be pronounced Corby, in London it will be Cowby.

Works better with a US accent.

@floramcdougal sorry can you read?

OP posts:
MarieToulouseBerlioz · 14/05/2019 19:46

I think Coby seems the most natural spelling - or maybe Kobi?

floramcdougal · 14/05/2019 19:46

All horrible.

flumpybear · 14/05/2019 19:44

Mixing Hmm

AuntMarch · 14/05/2019 19:44

I do ALWAYS read Kobe in my head as if it rhymes with probe though..

flumpybear · 14/05/2019 19:44

What about Co-🐝
That's missing up a hornets nest GrinWink

AuntMarch · 14/05/2019 19:43

Cobie
Kobi
Kobe

That's all the spellings I've known, never seen any of yours OP!
Those three are all 3 and under, so I'm guessing it's reasonably popular at the moment regardless of whether other mumsnetters like it or not.

StickOfRhubarb · 14/05/2019 19:41

Kobey and Cobey look like they are pronounced cob-bee. Like Dobby the house elf.

StickOfRhubarb · 14/05/2019 19:39

Kobe is the 'best'. Coby looks like there is something missing to me.

Nightingalesinging · 14/05/2019 19:39

Obi One Kenobi now you're talking!

puma84 · 14/05/2019 19:38

Coby

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 14/05/2019 19:37

I've seen it spelt Kobe too

Smidge001 · 14/05/2019 19:36

I've only seen it as Kobi.

Icklepup · 14/05/2019 19:36

Coby

GoFiguire · 14/05/2019 19:31

Kenobe

Bookworm4 · 14/05/2019 19:31

Is it a mash up of Obi Wan Kenobi?

GoFiguire · 14/05/2019 19:30

Corby.

Bloomburger · 14/05/2019 19:29

Horrendous. Why would you saddle a child with such a name regardless of spelling.
