Niall or Tobias?

[Icloud54]

Which do you prefer? I like them both equally.

[ColinsVeryJolly]

Niall is nice.

Tobias is rather pretentious.

[Angelwendy]

Are you pronouncing Niall like Nile or Neil?
Tobias is nice and would more than likely be shortened to Toby which is also nice

[DiegoMadonna]

Tobias. Only because I just don't like Niall.

[Icloud54]

Niall as is Nile, not Neil

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

If Tobias is going to Toby then Tobias
If not Niall

[17caterpillars1mouse]

I love Tobias so much but dislike Toby

Niall makes me think of the one from one direction. Not really a fan

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Tobias. Really nice name.

[Glumglowworm]

Niall

[BabloHoney]

Niall. Great name

[midsomermurderess]

Niall but pronounced Neil.

[BeyondThePage]

haha - both are my nephews names - the other of the 3 is Aiden.

[HolyShmoly]

Niall but pronounced Neil

That's a different name

Niall for me (I also love Aiden)

[DullAndOld]

Niall, great name, and it's not pronounced like 'Neil' because that is a different name

[DramaAlpaca]

I'd go for Niall.

[Foggymist]

I discovered a few years ago that some people pronounce Niall as Neil, when I knew a guy called Niall by his family but all of his employees knew him as Neil I prefer Niall to Tobias and Neil!

[lumpit]

Niall was definitely pronounced Neil in Scotland for a good wee while. My mid fifties DDad had multiple friends with the name when young.

[PickleSarnie]

Niall can be pronounced "Nile" or "Neil". It's not a different name. Same name. Two pronunciations. Or will I tell my BIL he's been prouncing his own name wrong all these years?

[TheodoreTheChipmunk]

Definitely Niall. Tobias would become Toby which is very popular and not nice IMO.

[HolyShmoly]

Hmm, must be a Scottish thing. In Ireland it's always like Nile.

Niall of the Nine Hostages kidnapped St Patrick, so we learnt about him in school.

[DullAndOld]

oh! well i stand corrected..:)
I have a brother Niall, it is pronounced by the family as 'N -eye - 'll

But hey pronounce it how you like.

[DullAndOld]

yes we are Irish also Holy, well Brit-Irish..:)

[midsomermurderess]

The Niall I know, Scottish, says it like Neil.

[HolyShmoly]

So it definitely seems like a Scottish/Irish divide. Interesting. I wonder if there are many other names that are like that.

[Patal]

Love Tobias with the no Toby

[Mince314]

Niall isn't pronounced Neil!

I like Niall but I'm Irish so I'm used to it. It's an unusual choice for a baby though.

I find Tobias a bit much. Toby is much nicer.
