Baby Names

Middle name..

We found out yesterday we are having a little boy!  DH is over the moon, and is insisting on the name Kobe (pronounced Ko-bee).  We had always intended to use DH's name as a middle name, Ashley.  But now we're not sure it works with Kobe!  Personally, I prefer Ryan as a middle name. 

Which do you think sounds better,

Kobe Ashley C...

Kobe Ryan C...

Thanks!

Re: Middle name..

  • I prefer Kobe Ryan over Ashley but it sounds sooo much like Kobe Bryant that I cannot give an honest opinion...

  • Kobe Ryan.... or how about Kobe James???
  • My older brothers name is Coby John. He is in his 30's, thats the only way I like "Kobe" since that is what I grew up knowing. My mom actually disliked the name Coby, so gave him the middle name John to be able to call him C.J.

    But he is SO a Coby, never went by anything but that. I like how Coby John sounds. Many times I heard my brother being called by his full name by my mother for being in trouble ;-)

  • I actually like the name Ashley for men, but I agree that Kobe Ryan sounds better.

    We had seen the name Kobe on a birth announcement right before we got married, and as I had never seen the name before I had never thought to spell it any different!  I really like Coby though!  And I like the idea of a J middle name for the nickname CJ.  Will have to bring this up with the DH tonight... thanks!

  • IMO Kobe Ryan sounds a lot better than Kobe Ashley.

  • I remember you from the TTGP board!

    I agree with the Kobe Bryant/ Kobe ryan connotation. I still like the name, though.

    Coby James is a good idea (for the CJ nn).

  • Kobe Ryan.  Hands down.  Kobe Ashley doesn't work for me with the double e sound.
