Toby?

I'm due in 9 weeks and we're expecting anothet boy. We've had loads of names and I think we are settled on Toby.

Thats until a friend said Toby made them think of gay men. I really love the name but don't want everyone thinking its a bad name.

So I'd love your feedback.

Thanks

When i first saw the name Toby i thought Toby Antis (is he gay??i dont no) It doesnt make me think of gay men. If anything it reminds me of a dogs name(very sorry). Saying that i think it is quite a nice name and is not too popular, if you were settled on it and love it go for it, im sure once your baby is born your friend will feel differently about the name.

My nephew is Tobias - Toby for short. I think it's lovely.

oh, it is lovely and much under-used IMO

It's not for me, but if you like it...

It's not a name you hear a lot in Scotland.

DH's niece called her son Toby, have heard MIL lots of people saying about tobyjugs and "it's a dog's name" but never "it's a gay name"....

What's a gay name anyway? Will he be gay if you call him Toby?

(Am not stalking BTW, am clicking every boy name thread going in my quest!)
