Please can you tell me which name you prefer between Henry and Toby (not Tobias, just Toby). Not bothered about which is more popular, just which is nicer. Thank you :-)

Henry by a long way.

OddsNSodsBitsNBobs · 25/02/2021 21:34

Love them both, Toby just edges it for me.

Toby

danascully96 · 25/02/2021 21:24

Henry! Toby is not a handsome name. My aunt’s dog is named Toby, so I see it as cute and cuddly, but not dashing.

Nell96 · 24/02/2021 19:00

Henry is lovely. Toby is very wet - along the same lines as Tim...

VenusClapTrap · 23/02/2021 14:35

Toby

I like both but Toby will always remind me of the golden lab I had when I was growing up so couldn’t ever see it on a human personally 😂

Spied · 23/02/2021 11:16

Henry of the two.
Toby makes my teeth itch.grr.

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 23/02/2021 11:14

Toby 100%. Hate Henry! Toby is cute.

Firebird83 · 22/02/2021 23:22

Henry. Toby is wet.

Serin · 22/02/2021 22:39

stellarfox · 22/02/2021 21:38

Henry

RoomAtTheEndOfTheWorld · 22/02/2021 16:51

Toby! Love it. Not keen on Henry personally .

BallsToYouSue · 22/02/2021 16:45

Henry!

TokenGinger · 22/02/2021 15:10

Toby.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 22/02/2021 15:08

Henry is lovely, if you aren't bothered about popularity. Although I realise Toby is often used as a standalone name, I find it more cutesy sounding (except as a nn for Tobias).

HungLikeAPeg · 22/02/2021 10:28

Henry

lalalalands · 22/02/2021 10:26

I think Henry is much nicer Smile

noname55 · 22/02/2021 10:24

Henry.

elfran · 22/02/2021 09:20

Toby, I love it but was vetoed by DH. Similarly I'm not keen on Tobias; Toby is great in its own right.
