Opinions

[ann122]

I'm due my little boy in 3 weeks the only name me and my partner have agreed on so far is corridan what's your opinions we are after something unusual the people we have told have basically said that they don't like the name

Not a fan sorry, sounds like a building material. I wouldn’t give my child an obscure name linked to a film character either.

Corridan? No, I don't like it either, but I'm not generally a fan of surnames as first names.

I’m not against some surnames as first names but I don’t think Corridan works, it sounds a bit strange to me to be honest. Looking at the positive he could be Corey for short which is quite sweet.

It reminds me of corridor 🙈 sorry! Picking a name is the hardest thing ever

I’m on the fence, I’ve not heard it before but names don’t tend to phase me as I’ve heard all sorts in the school I work in. I’ll be honest I did immediately think corridor.

I've never heard this name before - is it from a culture outside of the UK? To be honest it just brings to mind a corridor or a kitchen worktop. What about Corin instead?

Never heard it. Makes me think of corridor or coriander amor mark corigan.

How about Roderick?

Corridor here too sorry.

Nope I dont like it, how about Corey if you like the Cor sound or Hayden if you like the den sound.

Corian meets corridor.

Corin?
Cosmo?
Caspar?
Cory?

What about
Cory?
Torben (means little bear)?
Doran?

I'm not a huge fan but you may like
Florian?
Horton?

I'm not keen on surnames used as first names, but aside from that, I think it's very close in sound to Corrigan, another Irish surname, so your child would have a lifetime of correcting spelling and pronunciation ahead of them.

Also, it has a similar vibe to Conan (the Barbarian), so he might spend a lot of time on the naughty step at school.

Corridor.

Poor thing will constantly be called Corridor of Corrugated at school - please don’t call him Corridan!

It's awful.

What about Corey Daniel

Really, really bad.

I think it sounds like an element from the periodic table - really awful, sorry. I have a friend who named her son Corin, if that helps.

Awful. Looks like Corridor and Coriander have been thrown together.

Awful sorry OP

Fine with the name but stop telling people the name before you’ve had the baby!
Baby born, this is his name, done deal. People will see the baby and associate the name with him, but before the baby is born it’s hard to do that.

And also, opinions are like arseholes, everyone’s got one. But the only opinions that matter here are yours and your DHs.

In my opinion, Corridan is better than the ubiquitous George, Harry, Oliver, Hugo.

Terrible. I can say that in the pretty certain knowledge that precisely nobody is going to pop up on this thread, saying "my son is called Corridan, thank you very much", so I can't offend anyone.

Agree that Roderick might be a possibility, though.

And Florian is a very, very good name, though suspect it won't appeal to the OP.

Sorry, it's really awful. It sounds like a thing, not a name.

What about Corben, Cory, Camden, Colton

That’s terrible sorry.

Daniel would be quite unusual these days. Or how about Connor or Conrad? Those are actual names and aren’t particularly popular.

Corridor
