Corin

[ThermalMittens]

Thoughts please, and does it go with Noah?

Is it the male version of Corinne? I've not heard it before.

In what way should it 'go' with Noah ? As in Noah Corin? Or brothers Noah and Corin? Why not?

Oh, as in big brother's name is Noah :). Sorry, that was unclear.

Anything that doesn't start with N and has two sylables or rhymes with.

Eh? . So Corin is a no because it has two syllables?

I like the name, but both the Corins I've met in life have been very weedy, meek men. Nice but looked like they needed a hot dinner and a brisk walk. That colours the name for me, even though it sounds lovely.

I like it. Only one I have heard of is the actor Corin Redgrave and it always struck me as a ....striking name.

:o at hot dinner and a brisk walk.

I've only ever heard of a woman called Corin. Love the name.

But Corin doesn't start with an N.
''Anything that doesn't start with N''

Is it a boys name? Heard of girls name Corrine which is ok

I love it. Corey or corry for short?

Like it. Have only heard of Corin Redgrave too but really like it.

I know a Corin. Think he's 8 or 9 now.

Have heard him get called Colin by mistake though.

Always thought it was a girls name.

I know a Corin. He's my DHs best friend. He's stupidly handsome, models for Barbour etc!!

Great name. Never gets mistaken for Colin. We're in Scotland though, not sure if its more if a Scottish name (hence not getting muddled with Colin?)

Right, hands up who headed to baby names after the thread on poncey and egocentric middle class name choices? :o Does this count?

Must admit, one of the reasons I love it is because it's used in A Horse and his Boy. But that sentimental rather than pretentious, I think.

I guess when I asked if it 'goes' with Noah, I meant that we're obviously aware that Noah is one of the most popular boys' names today. Can't work out if it's fine to offset that with a slightly more unusual name, or if it will seem odd. Of course, with my naming skills it's likely that Corin is starting rocket up the charts and I just haven't noticed yet!

A girl would have been Marnie or Merryn .

The girls' name is Corinne, btw.

I don't think it's flowery enough to be poncey, it's just unusual.

I like it, one of my cousins is called Corin.

Girl Corin.

She seems like a fairly cool person to be named after.

I like. And somehow I don't think it sounds pretentious!
