Corin.

Any other suggestions as to other names I might like based on this?

I love it. Nice and crisp sounding, and not common.

LindaCallahan2006 · 22/12/2019 18:11

Corin!? That is a BORING name! Name your child something cool like "Bones" or "Destroyer of Uranus" those are much better names if you ask me!

I've only heard it pronounced to rhyme with Colin, both with the short o sound. It's okay, but I don't love it, OP.

MrsBertBibby · 21/12/2019 08:10

Prefer Torin or Tobin to Corin.
Conrad also great.

Peanutty86 · 19/12/2019 10:47

@MadameSapphire I have a Tobin

Astronica · 14/12/2019 09:35

I immediately think of actor Corin Redgrave. It's okay.

MrsNoMopp · 13/12/2019 21:56

I like it.

Winterdaysarehere · 13/12/2019 20:05

Meant gazing at the spelling not pronunciation!! Blush

GiveHerHellFromUs · 13/12/2019 15:07

I read it as Corin like Colin

Lavenderblues · 13/12/2019 15:01

I say Colin with a short o. Like Holly.

But I say Corin with a long o. Like Boring.

BlackSwanGreen · 13/12/2019 14:48

I like Corin a lot. My first association is a character in one of the Narnia books.

whatyournamebabee · 13/12/2019 14:25

For a boy or a girl ?

I went to college with a Corrin who was female and I like it.

MoiraRose · 13/12/2019 14:21

Corin sounds nothing like Colin! The first syllable sounds quite different

How do you pronounce Corin if its said totally different to Colin? Just curious, the first syllable sounds the same when I say it

Lavenderblues · 13/12/2019 14:17

Of course it's a boys name Hmm

Corinna or Corinne are the feminine versions.

Enko · 13/12/2019 14:15

I dont mind it it's a solid name imo

Twisique · 13/12/2019 13:56

Its for a boy. Grin

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/12/2019 13:39

Laura. Lauren

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/12/2019 13:39

It’s okay.
Coral. Cassie. Casey. Callie. Laurel.

Twisique · 13/12/2019 13:38

Tarin/Taryn
Tywin
Torin
Owen
Conrad
Wulfric

I like it.

Winterdaysarehere · 13/12/2019 13:31

Sadly maybe mistaken for Colin!!

midsomermurderess · 13/12/2019 13:30

I would think it was quite posh Scots. Nothing remotely WAGish about.

Peachbubble · 13/12/2019 13:28

Not for me

Lavenderblues · 13/12/2019 12:57

Corin is a great strong name!
