Are these awful (for a boy) - thinking my hormones are affecting my brain!

I don't like them much - Cody is marginally more to my taste - but they are short, easy to spell. It really is up to you.
I know a lovely little girl called Anelka! i suppose one day the footballer will be forgotten and it will sound like a pretty name.

i think cody is a girls name, like the one in neighbours?? years ago.
Sorry, not my taste!

nickytwotimes · 11/12/2009 16:55

Sorry, they are imo awful.

Buda · 11/12/2009 16:56

Our 7 month old yellow lab pup is Codie!

meemar · 11/12/2009 17:01

I don't like Cody. Is Coby even a name?

MamaLazarou · 11/12/2009 17:26

I dislike them both, sorry.

cece · 11/12/2009 17:27

I only know girls called Cody.

Sorry but don't like either.

Bucharest · 11/12/2009 17:28

Nope.
Even spelled with a C (and I have seen many with K) they are both still that sort of name.

Coby is apparently a very old gaelic name. So says my not-that-sort-of-person-but-still-goes-in-for-this-sort-of-name friend.

skihorse · 11/12/2009 17:42

Kobe is also a Hebrew name.

They're both awful though.

stepaway · 11/12/2009 17:42

Cody - very American

Vivia · 11/12/2009 17:57

I know a three month old baby girl called Cohdi. Now that spelling's just made up, right?

RnB · 11/12/2009 18:00

Dreadful. Sorry

MrsMattie · 11/12/2009 18:03

I know a Kobe. I really liked the name and thought it would be pretty cool to be named after the basketballer player Kobe Bryant ....until he got embroiled in a high profile (in the USA) rape trial. Then, not so cool.

Cody is vile.

fairimum · 11/12/2009 18:32

good good that is what i thought!! lol

If you had to ask if they were awful, you secretly knew they were didn't you?

At least you recognise that hormones are playing a part, but back to the drawing board I think.

JingleAllTheWay · 11/12/2009 18:40

isn't it the suite life of zac and cody - they are boys aren't they?

Buda · 11/12/2009 18:43

Our lab is called Codie after the Cody in The Suite Life. DS is a big fan and he named the dog. Changed it to Codie as pup is female.

Cody is actually an old Irish surname so it also fitted in well for me as I wanted something Irish.

purpleduckUnderTheMistletoe · 11/12/2009 18:55

You mean Kobe? Thats ok. Cody - i don't like

doubleexpresso · 12/12/2009 18:01

Know Codie who is a girl. Don't like either, sorry.

mathanxiety · 13/12/2009 15:53

American, both of them. So a no from me.

mo3g · 13/12/2009 15:57

my bf just had a baby boy called coby i didnt like it to start with but its grown on me

slimeysnails · 13/12/2009 16:23

Coby is lovely, as a nickname for Jacob or Jacoby

PlonkerTeatowelOnTheirHeads · 13/12/2009 18:14

I really don't like either, sorry.

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 13/12/2009 18:16

Coby?? Awful.
