Both are food related, though Colby is a better choice imo. Kobe sounds like you are desperately trying to seem fancy when you aren’t - or like you are copying a one and only at this point. I dislike both of them.

I don’t like either one. Colby reminds me of cheese and Kobe is linked to Kobe Bryant. I liked him but the name is far too associated with him to be used by anyone else.

If you're in an area where Catholicism is likely, it could have been Kolbe. There was a priest killed in Auschwitz with surname who has since been canonized and it seems to be a not unpopular choice in highly some religious circles.

Kobe is inextricably linked to Kobe Bryant for me.

I find all options unattractive sound wise.

I like the way they sound but the Kobe spelling is confusing to me. I would use Coby or Koby. As for Colby, I like this spelling more than its variants, which I don't think they are popular. As a child, I always misheard Colby as Coby.

Our dog was named Kobe when we adopted him. He was only one year old and quickly began responding to his new name. Colby is a cheese.

I dislike both.

Kobe doesn't happen in South Africa, but Kobie does, as a nn for Jakoba. Pronounced KOO_ERbi, where the R is not pronounced. Or a bit like cooer, if that exists as a descriptor for a pigeon? Once again, no R is heard. It isn't used as a male name or nn at all.
Colby? Yet another lnfn; I wouldn't know if the first syllable is short, like blob, or long, like coal.

I hate both, especially Kobe.

I don't like Colby, it's one of those bland, WASP-y ambisexual surname names that has no real personality beyond bland and WASP-y.
Kobe is okay, but very associated with Kobe Bryant and with Kobe beef. I also have known of a couple of dogs named Kobe.

Don't really like either
