I don't think I'd (personally) go with Koby- -as it looks like a misspelling of a) a type of beef or b) a basketball player who was put on trial for raping a girl that was not his wife.
I like Colby so much better-- and Coby is going to look like a misspelling of Colby anyway.
are you ok with the name? because if you aren't than you guys should just keep looking... you will have to call him this forever!
i don't mind the name - Colby is a little more my style though (just don't give him the middle name Jack:)
I think the spelling Kobe looks more masculine though...
Good Luck
Thanks everyone for the input-
Argh this is a hard one, Dh loves the name but doesnt know how he'd spell it anyway, I agree with most of you and like the spelling 'Kobe' but I'm concerned no one will know how to pronounce it when they see it. I understand the name seems to remind a lot of Americans of a rapist, but we never heard anything of it here in Australia so it's not a problem really. "Colby" just makes me instantly think of cheese so it's a no for me! ;)
If I had my choice I'd name my son Alexander, Fletcher, Jasper or Oliver, but Dh cant stand any of them. I pretty much had final say over ds#1's name so I thought it would be fair to let dh name #2 (within reason!) but I'm just not so sure!!! Maybe I can convince him to go Thomas Coby/Kobe instead....
Thanks again :)
Wow, that is hard to find a compromise between your favorites and Kobe! What is your 1st DS named? I think it is important to find something that meshes well together, and from the looks of your top picks, it doesn't seem that Kobe would. Just a thought!
Perhaps you could put together a list of a few names that you like, and let him pick his favorite off that list. I would not just let my DH named any of our kids (really, not even a pet or anything, haha).
