Thoughts on Cody and Coby

[fairimum]

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

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

How racist

Coby is very popular in Australia, I hear, and neither is American actually.

I know a Coby at my baby group; when I first heard it I did wonder a little at the name as I had NEVER heard it before, but I love it now. It totally suits the little boy in question and is a perfect name for him.

So I'd go for Coby!

It's not racism, it's a cultural preference. Both names are very popular in America, and favoured, mostly, it always seemed to me, by people whose general taste I wouldn't care for. Kobe Bryant is a star in the NBA. Cody is a bit out of style now, replaced by Kayden/ Jayden/ Brayden, etc.

Names are a matter of taste. You can like or not like them based on impressions, and you can put them in a category, such as American, and like or not like them based on that. If I call something American it's because I've seen it a lot in America and I see it in a certain light.

American is not a race.

I don't like either.

Have you thought of Corey ? (I don't like it either, but you might ...)
