I love the name [name_m]Koda[/name_m].
I would love it even more if [name_m]Koda[/name_m] could be a nickname to a longer name.
I want to stay away from names that sound Japanese or something similar, but I don’t think I have a lot of options.
One that I did think of…is Kodaiver. [name_m]Koda[/name_m] and [name_m]Iver[/name_m]. Because, you know, it sort of sounds like McGyver (at least to me).
A few friends of mine say that Kodaiver reminds them too much of cadaver, which sucks lol.
I’ve also seen the name Kodaline, but that definitely seems too feminine.
Yeah, never said I would actually go with Kodaiver, I was just saying that’s the closest I’ve come to anything resembling a longer name with [name_m]Koda[/name_m] in it. I meant it jokingly which is why I mentioned McGyver.
Thanks for the suggestions, but those are not my style.
Hmm I think [name_m]Koda[/name_m] is a good stand alone name (if [name_u]Kody[/name_u] is, why not [name_m]Koda[/name_m]?)
For a long name I immediately thought of Kodak, but the association with the photography company isn’t really that great.
It could also be a nickname for:
[name_m]Kohen[/name_m]
[name_u]Koren[/name_u]
Kosan
Konstantine
But it seems like a bit of a stretch
Another suggestion I have is using a K first name and a D middle name, for example:
[name_m]Kohen[/name_m] [name_m]Darius[/name_m] “[name_m]Koda[/name_m]”
I love the idea of using a K first name and D middle name! I’ve never thought of that.
I’ve had such a hard time with this, it’s hard not to make the name sound super made up when I try to add to it. But [name_m]Koda[/name_m] is just so short. I don’t know. And all the common ones mentioned above just don’t do it for me, we also live in AK so if we went with [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] we would just like many other families here haha.
My 2 year olds name is Nekoda…we call him [name_m]Koda[/name_m] for short. Nekoda is actually a bible name…its in books [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]…briefly stated. We found the name on a [name_m]Christian[/name_m] name site and choose it for our sweet boy.
Oh hey another [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] person that’s neat.
[name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] actually wouldn’t be too bad BECAUSE you’re in [name_f]Alaska[/name_f]. It’s super cliche and people would ask you if you’re from there ALL the time but I don’t think anyone would judge you. Unless you live on/in [name_f]Kodiak[/name_f] or plan to. That would be a bit weird. But the associations with it are the island and the town, which never gave me bad vibes during my 10 years in Anchorage. I mean, are people being weird about all the little girls named [name_u]Denali[/name_u] or [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] up there?
Anyway, I think [name_m]Koda[/name_m] is fine on it’s own. It’s short, but it doesn’t sound nick-namey or unfinished to me. It reminds me of a musical Coda – a change in/addition to the chorus specifically for the end of a song, which has connotations of completeness.
I think [name_m]Koda[/name_m] by itself is fine. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it is a Japanese surname apparently, I wouldn’t have assumed that at all. It just looks like your fairly common contemporary boy’s name of the 10’s.
