Who agrees and what do we think of the name?
I'll admit I'm not completely averse to it Wink

Jesus no. I like him, but just no.

No.

I like Jem though, so would consider Jeremy. But then again, would probably go for James.

DS was born several years before the Labour leadership elections. I find the news quite distracting these days.

Another no.

I don't like most "in" sounding names for boys. Justin, Dustin, Robin, Quentin, Peregrine, Kevin, Martin, Crispin, Franklin, Colin. I do like Edwin though.

Corbyn I'd say is "too surnamey" Grin

Not keen on Jeremy either, though I do quite like Jeremiah and Jerome.

Corbyn Dallas multipass.

Years ago, when trying for dc/dc2
I liked corbijn. After Anton corbijn, the photographer.

It's a cute/quirky name, but I don't think I would name a child after a politician.

Funnily enough I wouldn't associate it with the politician, or think the parents were politically minded! There's a few similar sounding names to Corbyn, popular with some at the moment, and I'd lump it with those, personally.

reuset · 04/10/2015 14:44

I don't like it as a first name, just to add

No! Despite predictions to the contrary George dropped in popularity after the naming of Prince George so I very much doubt this will happen!

Oh I don't think it'll go top ten. That would be silly.
Still I expect it to rank higher than either David or Gideon in the 2016 popularity list.

Incidentally, do people still name their children Cameron?

It makes me think of Corbin Berenson from LA Law.

Sophronia · 04/10/2015 16:37

I know a Corbin and a Korbinian.

Kordashian?
