    Koby or Kobe..which spelling?

    Hello to All!

    We are thinking of this name for our little blue bundle.
    Which spelling do you think goes better?
    Surname is Sayle, pronounced Sale..

    We already have a gorgeous boy called Jesse.

    Koby Sayle..?
    Kobe Sayle..?

    I would choose Koby as i think Kobe will get mispronounced alot.

    I like Kobe. I wanted to use that name if this baby was a boy, but I wanted Kobi

    ETA - our DS is Jesse too & I always thought Jesse & Kobi would go perfect together! Shame we are having a girl, lol.

    For a blue one I'd say Koby.
    All the girl's I know called that are spelt Kobe - so that's my only reasoning

    Kobe for me!

    Judging by the responses it's pretty mixed though! Go with what you like!

    i think Koby. i agree that Kobe would probably be mispronounced / misspelt alot.
    and i dont think that its an issue having a 'y' in both your first and last name

    I like Kobe, I do agree it'll probably be mispronounced a bit though.
    I used to know a little girl named Khobi, I think it's a fairly unisex name
