He's the slightly creepy night manager in Gilmore Girls who wants Michel's job.

Love it. Cute but works for adult too. I've heard of the serial killer but wouldn't make the connection and still don't now it's even mentioned.

Serial killer

TempsPerdu · 18/03/2017 20:41

Not sure about Tobin, but I quite like Torin and Tobias.

JennyHolzersGhost · 18/03/2017 20:13

Named after a tax ?

Going against the grain here to say I love it - we're considering it too - but I don't live in the UK so the hope is the serial killer issue won't arise. I think it gives Toby a more grown up twist, is quirky but not completely batty, and I prefer it to Tobias.

I actually really dislike surname first names! Didn't put 2 and 2 together with this one that it was a surname. And such a shit one!

No, sounds like toe+bin

pictish · 18/03/2017 19:56

How about Torin instead?

pictish · 18/03/2017 19:55

No. Peter Tobin.
It's a nice enough name...but Peter Tobin. So no.

BWatchWatcher · 18/03/2017 19:54

To bin or not to bin.

I said upthread I liked it, I've changed my mind now!

user1489577919 · 18/03/2017 18:55

SillyBub · 18/03/2017 18:54

There's one at the school I work at. He's adorable.

Ok scrap that!

Also know it as the surname of a serial killer from near here and that's what immediately comes to mind. I don't like it at all.

GeillisTheWitch · 18/03/2017 18:48

Nope, makes me think of the murderer. Tobias instead?

OccasionalNachos · 18/03/2017 18:48

Yeah, serial killer. Still quite recent.

Sweetpotatoaddict · 18/03/2017 18:47

Yip serial killer was my first thought too, sorry. But perhaps not known outside Scotland?

Palomb · 18/03/2017 18:47

Serial killer for me too.

Not sure how much I like it myself to be honest but really struggling with boys names and just saw this on nameberry.com!
