I like it, but I get two images from it. The first one is a strong, succsessful man, possibly a lawyer type. My second thought is based on my upbringing.. I almost always think "corbie" when I hear it.. a Scots Gaelic term for crow. It's not exactly a flattering image but maybe that's why I think lawyer when I hear it?

Overall, I don't think it's bad. I kinda like it!

First off let me say that I honestly DO like the name Corbin. But for some reason, maybe because I've only known older guys named Corbin, I find it hard to picture a Corbin younger than 30! But obviously they had to be little boys at one point! The men I have known named Corbin (2 of them) were both professional, light skinned, and blond (or originally blond). Both were friendly and smart. One was very serious and sort of nerdy (he was a computer technician). The other one was attractive in a boyishly gray-haired way, he was a physician. SO I picture those guys when I think of the name. Not a bad association on either one.

Neither love, nor hate. Find it rather appealing on someone else's child.
