Corin for a boy?

[ThingumyandBob]

Yes or No and why? Thank you....! (I think it's more popular in america, there is also the english actor Corin Redgrave.....)

[SoupDragon]

Reminds me of The Horse and His boy

[Rockbird]

Lovely name, really like it.

[bizzylizzy21]

this is my wee boys name and his dad chose it

[TsarChasm]

I like it.

Not Colin though. They're so similiar but Corin=yes, Colin=no (for me).

[devientenigma]

Corin Nemec, yeh I fancy him too, but saw him first in the film I know my name is Steven. I have been plugging this name on here for a while along with Efram. Corin much better than Cory.

[spiderlight]

It's a nice name, but be prepared to correct a lot of people who think you've said 'Colin'

[mumcah]

Lovely name

[foreverchanges]

think its lovely sounds nice and is unusual without being ott

[dizzydixies]

it was our boys choice for dd1 but we were spelling it Corin or Coran (which is an area in Scotland near Oban)

Thingumy - we also saw it there

[DMonabonfireinadeepdarkwood]

Lovely name (I knew a very good looking lovely Corin when I was younger)

[cktwo]

I believe both Corinne and Corin are French and are the feminine and masculine versions. So it doesn't matter if Corin sounds like Corinne, IYSWIM???

[MANATEEequineOHARA]

I knew a Corin, I think it is a really lovely boys name. I used to have a friend called Corinne pronounced the same way, but now I think it is far nicer as a boys name. I also know a Torin, which is also a lovely name.

[Wilts]

I like it.

Ds1 is not called Corin, but his name is often shortened by his friends to Cor.

[LightningBolt]

Oh I like it.I also like Torin (Toryn???) for a boy.I have met a Torin and also think there is a radio presenter with this name.

[GrimmaTheNome]

I don't see why Corin would be confused with Corinne - I had a friend with the latter name and it was pronounced Coreen.

Corin was in The Horse and His boy - I think the younger twin brother of the main character who spent most of the story under the name of Shasta but turned out to be the lost prince of Archenland really called Cor. [Cor??? I'd like to see someone try that out on MN! )

Anyhow, Corin is nice and not feminine at all.

[cupcakesinthesnow]

LOve it

[tummytickler]

I like Corin. A friend from my teenage years has this name, and he was a great chap so it brings back fond memories, and i have only ever met 2, and they would be ib their 30's and 40's now!
Lovely!

[KleineMaus]

I know a little boy called Corin. I didn't think I liked it to start with, but it really grew on me. Don't think it's girly at all, just not terribly common.

[ThingumyandBob]

...and yes, Vanessa Redgraves brother is called Corin...I have a google earlier.

I havn't read all of the Narnia books, I hope that Corin is a good character?

[ThingumyandBob]

Thank you for your replies!!....

PersonalClown...yes, I also heard the name Corin after seeing Corin Nemic in Stargate (he's quite nice), there is also a ?Corin? in Star Wars?. Our names so far seem to have a sci fi theme so far?

[MrsBadger]

From the Narnia books, yes?

Nice but perhaps too easily confused with Corinne

[hulabula]

Sounds too much like Corinne (girl's name) to me...

[diddl]

Just noticed my nonsensical post!
It should read, nor would I think it an awful name!

[PersonalClown]

I love it!
Wanted to change DS's name after seeing an actor in Stargate called Corin Nemec

[weegiemum]

I really like it.

Isn't Vanessa Redgrave's brother called Corin?

Unusual but classy, IMO!
