The name you give your child can impact his or her future success in life.
Psychology Today published a study that surveyed over 500 Human Resource managers and over 150 college admissions counselors at competitive admission universities. The results showed that a person’s first name was a large factor in determining whether or not a person made it past the initial screening process for hiring or admission. People with odd or unusual names were more likely to be rejected while people with certain names – which Psychology Today termed “power names” – were more likely to pass the initial screening. Here are the top ten “power names” as rated by Psychology Today.

5. Mary
6. Michelle

Hi there. Well, I have a Noah David Fox and a Zebediah Charles Clay. If I were to have another boy I would call him Malachi.
However, there are a lot of names out there that I think are just great. Here are a few ...
Oscar, Otis, Felix, Jed, Seth, Jett, Gabriel, Jhia, Maz, Presley, Reef, Shiloh, Gianni ...
Hope these help you in some way. Good luck!

You might like to look at the book, The Baby Name Wizard. You can look up a name and find good sibling names to go with them. There are also tons of lists, so you could see all of the lists that Korbyn (possibly Corbin) is on and see if you'd like any of the boy names on it.

Don't call unique wierd, there is a difference. And don't be another statistic of the million common English names that are still in use. Be your own person.

Rusty Nail (grade college) Ima jean Pigg (final 365 days in seventh grade) Bob Loblaw (say it relatively speedy curiously like Blah Blah Blah!) Richard Assman. He went by the call Dick. I knew a guy with the final call Ho, and he dated a woman named Mai (stated "my")... in the event that they had gotten married, her call might have become Mai Ho Armand Hammer
