Coby... am I mad for loving this name!?

My 3rd boy is due in October...
Both my husband and I like George. We have a Jack and a William already.

However... I can't shake off the name Coby.
My husband isn't keen... he thinks it's 'out there'.

Is it!? Confused

Hmm. Much prefer George, especially with jack and William. Or Toby, rather than coby.

As a nick name it's fine. I don't think it's substantial enough as a first name

Jacobi would work really well - I love this name.

I like it. It's not really that "out there" either.
Also what's the fuss with your children's names matching Hmm
Jack, William & Coby sound great to me!

Isn't that the name of a high profile American basketball player accused of rape? Kobe Bryant. The spelling is different but the sound is the same. When I saw the thread, my first thought was rapist. I'm so sorry but I had to say.

It doesn't work with the other names and makes me think of beef.

It doesn't really go with your other names. I would think I had misheard and it was Jody.

BusterGonad · 04/06/2017 10:42

I've never heard of it, but that means nothing! I'm not sure it fits with the other names and I personally don't think it's got a nice ring to it, but it's your son so you should go with what feels right for you.

I like it.
It's different and I don't think it's way out.
Also think it goes well with his brothers names.

Hahaha. Thank you so much. Your replies have had me in stitches. I'm well and truly put of Coby... defo don't want anyone thinking of rapist or beef when he introduces himself haha!!
