I think the names are great together but I'm a little Meh on how they sound together.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-327725 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:57:39 +0000 Andrea 327725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about cheese right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-327695 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:42:28 +0000 annie624 327695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh! I loved it until you mentioned "Colby Jack Cheese!" However... I think I still kinda like it. I mean, it wasn't the first thing I thought of. My initial opinion was, "Wow, 2 cool names put together...nice!" Also, your son will rarely ever be called by both names unless it's in an endearing way. And even then, not everyone will pick up on it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321459 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 20:19:16 +0000 Trailmix 321459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never even heard of the cheese you're talking about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321438 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:58:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 321438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Colby!! </p> <p>I am a bit bias... my son's name is Cobi... well actually his given name is Jacobi and so people do say Cobi-Jack all the time but it's so whatevs. NBG to me.</p> <p>I love the name Colby but I probably wouldn't put Jackson with it... however that's probably more of a personal preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321378 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 18:54:18 +0000 PrincessBaby 321378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think of cheese when I read it - I thought it was cute! But once you pointed out the cheese thing, then I was like "Oh....yeah." So maybe Jackson Colby??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321325 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 17:17:52 +0000 googly-eyes 321325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Colbie for a girl and googled it and got the cheese thing..didn't even know it was a cheese name until then! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321210 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:51:52 +0000 Mrsbells 321210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didnt make me think of cheese, I;m in the dont love it dont hate it camp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321206 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:50:09 +0000 heffalump 321206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the names separately, and the cheese..... but personally would not want the names together because of the cheese :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321142 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:08:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 321142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the names Colby and Jackson but just not together in that order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-321089 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 14:40:06 +0000 SugarplumsMom 321089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Colby Jack is cute! I like cheese :) But pp are right, unless you're adamant about using both names, everyone will known him as either Colby or Jackon, not both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320905 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 13:03:33 +0000 blackbird 320905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh i totally thought about cheese :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320752 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:58:21 +0000 Pink Champagne 320752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is Jackson Andrew (so sort of like the president, Andrew Jackson), and maybe three people have made that connection. Look at it this way- after the first few weeks after he's born, you're not going to be saying, " This is Colby Jackson", you're going to be introducing him as Colby. I think the name combo is cute, although I do prefer Jackson over Colby for a first name (but I am clearly biased, haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320686 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:22:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 320686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought of cheese too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320627 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:51:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 320627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like the two names... separately! the first thing i thought of was "cheeeeeeese"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320621 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:50:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 320621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband would be the same way and I don't know if he would be laughing or not. For example, one of our favorite names sounds a lot like a major, well know ski resort town when combined with our last name. I think this is a reason to avoid it, he thinks it makes it even better. </p> <p>I probably wouldn't want to do it, but I really like both names. I think Colby would be great and it's a lot less popular than Jackson right now. No one will really call him by both names anyway.<br /> Actually, I really like all 4 of your name choices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320602 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:46:35 +0000 mrsjyw 320602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like the name and didn't think of the cheese either til you mentioned it; but you're right, it made me hesitant on liking it as much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320572 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:26:41 +0000 ShootingStar 320572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: First and middle, so he'd be Colby most of the time. </p> <p>@coacheswife123: I like that too!</p> <p>I like the order switched as well, but DH can be really stubborn and he's not that big on Jackson as a first name.</p> <p>I'm honestly not sure if he's kidding or if he thinks this is a good idea, lol. He can just be kinda funny about names. To give an example, for a girl he loved the name Chloe Zoey. I had to tell him that under no circumstances were we going to give our children names that rhyme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320562 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:17:24 +0000 pl0508 320562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! I didn't think of it until you mentioned it but as soon as i read it I thought "I couldn't do it!" </p> <p>Out of the names you have, I like the combo Jackson Blake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320561 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:16:09 +0000 HabesBabe 320561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think of the cheese either, until you mentioned it! Will this be a first name/middle name combo, or a double first name (like Mary Anne) combo? I do like Jackson Colby more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320558 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:12:10 +0000 Alivoo01 320558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even think of the cheese until you mentioned it. Maybe it's because I don't use it often? I do like the name though, and previous posters' suggestion of swapping the order works well also! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320551 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:10:00 +0000 Goldilocks1107 320551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went straight for Colby Jack (cheese). Mainly because it's my favorite kind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320545 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 10:01:56 +0000 lawbee11 320545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not awful, but I did think of cheese. I agree with PP--I like Jackson Colby better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320542 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:58:43 +0000 autumnlove 320542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like the order but I love the names! I like Jackson Colby as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320538 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:56:36 +0000 Sammyfab 320538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! But I think I like Jackson Colby more. Is that an option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-name-awful#post-320537 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:54:12 +0000 ShootingStar 320537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So in light of both Jenny Renny and Cherri telling me I'm going to conceive a boy in a few months, I've been thinking about boy names. </p> <p>The names we like so far are Jackson, Blake, Logan and Colby. Problem is that DH is on this kick where he absolute loves putting two of them together to get Colby Jackson. And as much as I like both Colby and Jackson on their own, I feel like we can't name our child after cheese (colby jack). DH on the other hands thinks its awesome.</p> <p>So what do you guys think? </p>
