Comments for KIRBY:

This is such a cute name for a pet! This name can also be for girls.

My name is Kirby and I'm a girl. I used to think it was a strange name but now I like it because it's unique and people always say it's cute.

Kirby is a Nintendo character. A cute little round ballish looking creature.

I like the name Kirby a lot for boys, but for some reason I hate it for girls. I also imagine a court jester with this name. But that's a good thing, I guess.

I LOVE this name! However, I do agree with property of Jesus; this name sounds HORRIBLE for girls. Also, it is Scandinavian. It just became so popular in England most people believe it originated there.

Doesn't a guy named Kirby Morrow voice Miroku for the English dub of Inuyasha?

I don't really like this name, it sounds too, I dunno. Reminds me of furby, and I think that word is a bit strange.

I like it but I'd be hasty on naming a kid this, especially a boy, because of the Nintendo character.

It might have sounded fine as a name in the past, but now it brings to mind that adorable little puffball from the Kirby video games.

Kirby Anderson is a prominent (male) Christian Speaker.

Please do not use this name for anybody. On a dog, maybe, but not for a human! This sounds too cutesy and trendy for a given name, for either gender. I cannot envision a President Kirby or a Judge Kirby or some other important figure.

I like this name for boys only. Kirby isn't a good name for a girl.

I would never name a child this, because of the Nintendo character. Kirby sounds nice, though.

I used to go to high school with a girl named Kirsten but we called her Kirby, because of the same starting syllables. She never really cared for the nickname too much.

I knew an adorable little girl named Kirby. I LOVE this name for a girl or a boy. And I remember the Nintendo character! Also adorable!
It's such a different name but it sounds like it could be common- I think people would get used to it pretty quickly if they met someone named Kirby.

Kirby is one of the guys in the movie Sons of Provo (it's not his real name).

One of our cats is named Kirby. He was named after the popular childrens toy, Furby.
I like this name only for a pet (dog/cat). I just can't see it on a person.
