    Went to school with a girl named Koby...and she was lovely! Think it's one of those great unisex names

    Fejoa Mum - the meaning is really only significant for this particular name. Having a name that means 'supplanter' for the baby born after the older sibling/s die just feels very wrong.

    BAL - like you, I wasnt too fussed about meanings with DS1 but it became more important for DS2. I didnt want his name to have a negative meaning or feel like his name was defined by his brother's death ITMS. In the end, we feel he chose the name that most suited him.

    If you like the sound of Koby, maybe you'll like names with similar sounds, such as Jodie, Ruby etc

    I always thought it was a boy's name... but with names now-a-days i don't think calling a girl Koby is a problem... i guess make the spelling as feminine as possible... and i think KOBY is girly...
