Comment left Feb 16, 2010: "I named my 4th son, Colby Alston. Our third son's name is Colten and he goes by Cole. I guess we just like the sound of both of them!! People pick on us about it but oh well. I know only two Colby's in my son's whole elementary school. I also know one girl named Kolbi. It seems fitting for him!! The only confusion we get is when people are trying to figure out which one is Cole and which one is Colby!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 10, 2010: "My son, Colby , was born in 1994. I have only met 4 other Colby's/Kolby's. I love his name and have received so many compliments on it over the past 15 years. Yes, there are a few people who do pronounce it Kobe. But being the polite child that he is, he just answers to it. I still love the name, Colby, as I did back in 1994! Great name!"
