@salcombebabe

Poor thing will constantly be called Corridor of Corrugated at school - please don’t call him Corridan!
I'm sorry I just asked for opinions on the name if we go with it he will be shortened to Corey. I feel your comment is rather rude there saying he will basically be bullied.

It's horrible. Conrad is marginally better

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 09/09/2021 20:22

It's rubbish, sorry

Elisemum · 09/09/2021 20:28

I’m so sorry OP don’t want to hurt your feelings but it’s really bad…. sounds like corridor and he will be called that all his life. What about Cory? Corey? Carter? Something like that

KingsleyShacklebolt · 09/09/2021 20:33

Corridor in Torridon?

BananaPB · 09/09/2021 20:35

Corey Daniel is much better

Wolfiefan · 09/09/2021 20:36

It is awful OP.

thecognoscenti · 09/09/2021 20:36

Dreadful. Sorry OP but there are so many actual names to choose from, you don't have to make one up.

NotMaryWhitehouse · 09/09/2021 20:40

Come on OP, it's another non-name.

You can do better, your son deserves a proper name of which he can be proud!

Strangevipers · 09/09/2021 20:42

@miltonj

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

How about Roderick?

He will be called corridor or coriander I. School
user1493494961 · 09/09/2021 20:49

If you're going to shorten it to Corey just go with that, forget about Corridan, you don't want people calling him horrid Corrid.

Palavah · 09/09/2021 20:50

If you're just going to shorten it to Corey then just call him Corey?

SirChenjins · 09/09/2021 21:23

Corey is a lovely, complete name - just call him that. Corey Daniel as @BananaPBsays suggested is fab Smile

olidora63 · 09/09/2021 22:37

No !

whatausername · 10/09/2021 01:42

I think Corey is nicer and works well as a full name. A 'Corey' could be a teacher or a fire fighter or a surfer, it "fits" many walks of life. He will have his own unique character and personality so he won't need a super unique name Smile

WhoppingBigBackside · 10/09/2021 09:10

Corrigan is a bit different but not bad - it's a nice surname. Corridan sounds like Corridor or a building material, sorry.

CanofCant · 10/09/2021 13:07

Corinthian

LittleGwyneth · 10/09/2021 15:47

Someone else suggested Florian which is absolutely lovely and sounds similar?

salcombebabe · 10/09/2021 16:13

I wasn’t meaning to be rude just stating a fact, children can be cruel and this name will be changed to one of the many that others have suggested - your child will feel bullied by these children.

RuthW · 10/09/2021 17:50

Reminds me of Cardigan

I agree pick a name you love but come on not corrigan! He WILL be called Carridor and everyone who has kids knows it

ILoveShula · 10/09/2021 20:25

How about Cadogan?

HonoreDeBallsache · 10/09/2021 21:01

@Aquamarine1029

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

What about Corben, Cory, Camden, Colton

WFT? These are awful, too.
