Getting baby registered this morning eek! Which name to go for? We like both equally so happy to go with either.

I prefer Toby.

Joel is really nice.

Joel to me sounds like a chavvy, naughty kid.It's pretty dated too.
Toby however sounds like nice child - I can imagine an intelligent, gentle Toby...equally though I can imagine a sporty Toby too.

I also find Joel hard to say, I don't know why as I don't have any particular regional accent. The 'l' just doesn't seem to flow. I don't think I could be doing with having to say it multiple times every day.
I like Toby though.
