Baby Names

Connor/Colby

So we found out we're team Blue!  We know that the middle name is going to be Daniel (after my grandfather) and we want a "C" first name to honor his mother.

 DH likes the name Connor.  I like it too, but my issue is I think it is becoming too popular, and a friend of mine has a 7 month that they named Connor, and I don't want to choose the same name.

 I like the name Colby, but my husband's response was "that's a cheese."  But he does like the name, he just likes Connor better.

 Thoughts? 

Re: Connor/Colby

  • Sorry, my first thought on Colby is cheese as well.  Connor is a bit popular for us too

    What about Cody, Carter, Creston, Cade, Chase, Camden, Cole or Corbin?  Colt is a favorite of ours  :)

  • I like Colby and I don't think of Cheese at all. A unique C name is Cale. It was my Great grandfathers name. Just another option.

  • Colby is one of my pet-peeve names--I consider it a little dated and I don't think it grows well at all. 

    Connor is gaining in popularity but it's certainly not the new Aiden.  I much prefer it to Colby. 

  • Not a fan of Colby.

    Love the suggestion of Corbin - one of my faves.

  • Don't care for Colby.    I like Connor.   Also, like suggestions of Corbin and Cole.   I like Colin, don't remember if that was suggested.

  • I'm with your husband. I love Connor, but I don't like Colby at all (and immediately think cheese).

    Another "C" name that isn't too popular is Clayton - love it!

  • Connor (but I'm biased!). We almost went with Connor Daniel, but ended up with Connor Michael instead. I was worried about it's popularity too, but it's only in the 50's... so its not bad. 

    Colby makes me think of cheese and it's kind of cutesy... bleh.

    Other ideas:

    Charles, Colin, Christopher, Conall, Calvin, Cameron, Casey, Carson, Curtis

    I'll love you forever,
    I'll like you for always,
    As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

  • I really dislike Colby so Connor wins by default. I really like the suggestions of Cole or Collin.
