Corin for a boy?

I’m due a girl in 2 weeks who will probably be my last, but just in case...

Corin for a boy: yea or nay? Any immediate associations?

Corin Redgrave. Unusual but nice.

I know a Corin, who was probably named after the one in A Horse And His Boy.

Agree that Corinne is the usual female version, but I used to know of a female Corin, which I always thought was odd.

I adore it.

But it was raised eyebrows feom those around me when I mentioned it.. so I have Quentin instead :)

Love this! It was in our top two names but we ended up using something very different when baby arrived as he didn’t look like a Corin to us.

Great name.

Corin is a brilliant name for a boy. I'd think of Corin Redgrave, or The Horse and his Boy. Never heard of it used for a girl.
