My grandfathers name is Donald and my grandmothers name is Corrine so my husband and I combined the names and came out with:
Corridon (male)
We would call him Cori.
Opinions please.

Sorry, I don't like it. And Cori is feminine. If you are going to use that, it should be spelled with a Y.

To be brutally honest (and this is for your child's sake here lol), Corridon seems like a pretty feminine name to me, especially with the nickname Cori. Some combined, male/female names work, like Rosamund... and some don't.
I was thinking about it for a couple minutes, and here are the names I've come up with (they're not very obvious though, and I don't know if they make sense): Conrad, Alden, and Dorian - though that last one is a bit girl-y as well. Conrad and Alden I think though are great names for a boy, and both will transition well into adulthood.
Good luck and congrats anyway!
PS I don't think many people will be able to get that extra -a- sound out of Corridon anyway (there's only an -i- there).
PPS I also like the idea of Corbin (not Corey though - it's still a little too feminine for me).

honestly i think it is great that you are using family names. i am as well. but im not so sure as using them both in one name. corridon.
corridon sounds like corridor or something..
i would take part of one of the names and use it for the first name
such as
cordor donald
or
corey donald
or if you wanted to use it the other way you could do it that way
such as
donnie
or
don
or you could use donald and call it donnie for a nickname..
cori is the girly version of corey
i think the name corder is also different and is also very clean and simple and it includes your grandmothers name.

I do not like the name at all
I would go with
Corey/Cory means god peace
Corey Donald or Corey Donovan
Or Donovan Corbin or Donovan Cordel or Donovan Cortez

Sorry I don't like it. It sounds like corridor. I love how you are trying to combine the names thought so I had a scribble and came up with a couple. Maybe you already have them but I thought I would try.
Corald/Corrald (male)
Cordon/Corrdon (male)
Donine (female and not my fave LOL)
Rinald
Maybe not the greatest names but I just did it for fun.
Good luck naming your little one.

I don't like made up names. But that's just me.
Why don't you just name the baby Donald Corey or something to that effect.

what about naming him Corey Donald ....? the corey would be a tribute to your grandmother, only made masculine.. and Donald would be a tribute to your grandfather.. I've known a couple of guys named Corey, and I really like that name.. ;)

I think it is different, I cannot say that I don't like it, it's just different.
If you and your husband like the name, then go for it. There are other options to using your grandparents names.
Such as:
Cory
Donovan
Connor
Conley
Colin
Have fun with it! I hope this helps you!

I think that is super cool.. I did that for my sons' middle name... I combined two names. They did seem to 'get it ' or appreciate it. It was very disspointing. But now I realize that my son has their names... and I think it is cool to put names together for a names sake.

Yikes. It sounds like a type of Transformer (more than meets the eye).
