Still going round in circles with boys names but think I love this one (so be kind but honest): Tobin George, nn Toby. What do you think? (DH hates Tobias Sad!)

Just makes me think of Peter Tobin Sad

Is Tobin a name? I amnot keen on Toby, but think it works as a standalone name.

just go straight for 'ripper'.

George is a great name though, why don't you use that as the first name?

BeautifulBlondePineapple · 22/02/2011 16:52

Like some of the others, I immediately thought of Peter Tobin (but then I am one of those freaks who reads all about serial killers)

Prefer Crippen or Bundy

Sorry, I don't like it.

George is lovely though :)

Oh, too slow - you lot beat me to it!

KirstyJC · 22/02/2011 16:50

Hmm, I love Toby as a name (although it didn't make our list as DH hated it) ......

......but isn't Tobin the surname of a really bad criminal? (Won't say what he did as you asked us to be kind, although if you're not in UK and/or don't recognise it, then go for it).

Tobin doesn't come up on the name website I use, so it is presumeably quite rare (in UK anyway)?

George I also love - is DS2's middle name!

Peter Tobin. Mass Murderer. Don't do it

babyapplejack · 22/02/2011 16:47

Peter Tobin = serial killer. Unless I am mistaken.

To Bin or not To Bin...that is the question
