Cibby

Cibby is the pairing of Carly Shay and Gibby Gibson (C/arly and G/ibby), also known as Garly, (G/ibby and C/arly). It rivals Tibby, (T/asha and G/ibby), Sibby, (S/am and G/ibby), and Creddie (C/arly and F/reddie) among many others.

Carly and Gibby are good friends, possibly even more now, and have known each other for a long time. Gibby constantly appears in the iCarly website, icarly.com, in the clips, and also hangs out fairly often with the iCarly gang. Carly is nice to him and even tries to stick up for him at times, while Sam almost always makes fun of him.

Since Gibby was promoted to main character in season 4 there is a higher chance of Cibby happening romantically than there was before.

This ship received more fans and popularity after iOMG because they were working on a project together. This may have been what Dan wanted.

Noah Munck's sister (known as Leslie Cornelius on Youtube) has said that she is a Cibby shipper. This is the video in which she states it.



In an iCarly.com video, its is mentioned that Gibby thinks Carly has a crush on him during poll week, and due to several hints, it could be that she actually does have a crush on him. In Season 5, you can clearly see Gibby and Carly hang out a lot more. A different version of the promo for season 5 shows that Gibby might have a crush on Carly, and is trying to get her attention.

Pronunciation
"Cibby" reads as "sibee," but in speech is usually pronounced "kibee" to differentiate it from Sibby, even though this goes against the phonics of English. Also, "Carly" is pronounced with a 'K' sound, and the first letter of Carly's name makes up Cibby, so that is also why it is pronounced that way.
