DP likes Corbin, I like it but not keen because of the political connotations.

Also like Thorin, it's a family surname on my side but not sure about the Hobbit connections.

Not keen on Coben. How about Corin or Torin?

Same as Sophronia. Corin or Torin. Both really good names.

Thorin may well be a family name but people will assume it’s from The Hobbit and (quite possibly) judge you. Corbin and Coben are not great. Corin is a lot nicer; I taught one who was very bright and rather cool.

Awful on my opinion

I really like Korbinian.

But my OH already preemptively vetoed it... (And I wasn't even planning on seriously suggesting it. It just sounds a bit too political in the UK. Well, currently.)

Sorry but I think you should go back to the drawing board.

Corbin=far too political plus it has “bin” as in rubbish bin. I can’t see what is attractive about this as a baby name at all.

Coben=Confused very odd name

Thorin = hobbit

What about just “Ben” if you like Corbin/Coben

MaybeyBaybey · 30/05/2018 20:04

How about Thorben/Torben or Thorfinn?

Sessy19 · 30/05/2018 20:59

Torben is awesome. It’s a Danish variant of ‘son of the bears’. I’m a big fan and it’s on my list Wink

Cariadxx · 30/05/2018 21:01

Awful

ZebraKid71 · 30/05/2018 21:09

A second view for Torben. I've heard of two baby Torbens recently, I think is a great name.

Jezebells · 30/05/2018 21:13

Love Torben!

I quite like it. Also Aubin could be a potential alternative?

Wasn’t one of the actors in High School Musical called Corben/Corbin? It kind of suited him. It would make me think of him, not Jeremy!
