What do you think? I like the sound of this name. Do you think it sounds made up or would you consider it more of a surname?

Thanks

We read that book in English. Joby by Stan Barstow.

I recall a book by Stan Barstow ( one of the angry young men of literature) called Joby. Our English teacher read it to us - I am sure there was some teenage sniggers from us all to do with sex..

Title of a book I once read way back. Sure it was about a boy. Can visualise his picture on the front cover.

in thomas the tank engine it's a special type of wood that they use to build the search and rescue centre - it only grows on Hero's home island and Misty Island.....

Was just about to mention the Jobby-Scottish connection. But Prickly got there first!

umm- right. I can speak English, I promise!

I don't really like Joby I'm afraid.

Hope you never plan to move to Scotland. (Jobbie = a poo). Sorry.
