Corben?

My DP likes Cory and so do I but with his surname it makes the name of a (I guess fairly obscure to most) band member I associate with my teen years and I just can't get past it.

I quite like Corben and the nn Cor would still apply.

What do people think? Alternatives?

I think the c.d inserts had the delightful lyrics included!

In my defence I was never a fan but I did see them live once when I went to see Marilyn Manson, they put on QUITE the show- not one I care to associate with my offspring Grin (now there was a band)

Noting to do with music, but back to the original question ...

Am very, very sorry to sound critical, but 'Corben' looks as if you can't spell Corbin (= Crow,) properly.

Dont worry about being critical! That was why I posted, for honest opinion. My DS1 has a really unusual name so I can take it! Grin

I'd not seen Corbin as a spelling before posting this thread. It seems the general consensus is that this is the more common variation.

The baby name app I was looking through only had Corben (meaning as a steep hill?!) being Gaelic in origin. I'm now quite surprised that Corbin wasn't on their separately!Smile

If we go with it, it will be Corbin!
