Kobey, Cobey OR Coby

[KKKK1]

Iv seen it spelt a few ways on baby name websites, which is best? 😁

Coby

I've only seen it as Kobi.

I've seen it spelt Kobe too

Coby

Obi One Kenobi now you're talking!

Kobe is the 'best'. Coby looks like there is something missing to me.

Kobey and Cobey look like they are pronounced cob-bee. Like Dobby the house elf.

Cobie
Kobi
Kobe

That's all the spellings I've known, never seen any of yours OP!
Those three are all 3 and under, so I'm guessing it's reasonably popular at the moment regardless of whether other mumsnetters like it or not.

What about Co-🐝
That's missing up a hornets nest

I do ALWAYS read Kobe in my head as if it rhymes with probe though..

Mixing

I think Coby seems the most natural spelling - or maybe Kobi?

All horrible.

@floramcdougal sorry can you read?

Where do you live OP?

In the north it will be pronounced Corby, in London it will be Cowby.

Works better with a US accent.

@KKKK1
Do you think you can post on MN and demand only a certain type of answer?
At least you know now what a god awful name Kobeeebe is before you saddle your child with it, remember cute on a 4 yr old not so much on a 35 yr old hairy builder 🙄😂

All of them are awful

Would it make you all feel better if I said my other option from DH is HUGHIE!?

@KKKK1 yes thanks, you asked which was best? The answer I should have posted was; None of them, they’re all horrible. My apologies.

Hughie is better tbh.

Hughie is a thousand times better.

The only one I know is a Kobi. Hughie if you give him Hugh or Hugo on the birth certificate is okay isn't it?

Coby, it's a lovely name op. Not to everyone's taste but how boring would the world be with just oscars and Olivia's

Coby.

I do love Hugh or Hugo though.

@Moominfan I actually quite like boring names such as Oscar Samuel Isaac Joshua etc But i have a million nephews so they are all bloody taken! I like Coby however it is spelt! Just need to stop giving a shit about peoples opinions I didn't ask for 😂
