Toby??????

Toby?

is a jug.

i like it though - but its not a "mans" name 0 and no, i can't define that

Tobias?

Can I be the first Scot to say that it means penis in Scotland so don't use it if there is a chance of you moving north of the border.

Toby Carvery is a place that amuses the scots no end.

I have one, but I was never completely sure about it. Mainly as I agree it isn't a "man's" name. Am sure it will be when he is!

Oh no! Did not know this information!

Love it

dd1 who is 18 had a bf who was really very cool and handsome named toby - he borke her heart

No please not Toby.

There are hundreds of gorgeous names for boys.

It really is a name for a penis or a jug in Scotland

I really love - have been trying to persuade DH towards Tobias. The only toby I've ever known sounds a bit like ivykaty44 daughter's ex boyf - total heartbreaker.

Am gutted to learn it means penis in Scotland.

I am Scottish (east coast) and have never heard Toby used as slang for penis (though do associate it with jugs which is not quite as bad). Am bit worried as this is name my friend who is in Scotland is thinking of - has anyone else heard this? Is it a particular part of Scotland? Personally, I like it.

I know a gorgeous Toby and think it is a lovely name

also scottish here, never heard of it as slang. i love toby

I have never heard a scot talk about his toby. Is it rhyming slang?

I don't like th e name though. It's a bit wussy

Erm I am also Scottish and I think the term is Boabby (sp?), well that's the only one I can think of which is relatively similar...

The only Toby's I know are dogs but it is a nice name

I'm from Scotland too, and a couple of female friends use it as a word for their 'ladies bottom', never heard it used as slang for penis though! All the same, couldn't ever take it seriously.

I know a baby Toby - he lives in Edinburgh.

I love the name Toby, and have no issues with it as a name for a man.

I did not know about the Scottish thing.

I feel like the new "that's a dog's name" is someone popping up to say "that's what Scottish people call their knobs"

I'm also from Scotland (Perthshire) and, alas, it was a slang term for penis in my home town.

On a similar tangent, there aren't too many Jakes born in Scotland either...

I am from Dundee and there is a whole rhyme involving toby.

eech mich hens keich toby bum fart

And the Toby Carvery is in Perth. Maybe a regional thing.

To me Toby is a dogs name as we had one when I was growing up, and met many others. I quite like Tobias and like Tobit even more.

Lovely

oh yeah, there will be loads of tobys in edinburgh

I shared a student house with a chap called Toby. We used to watch Animal Hospital and roar with laughter at how every small dog was named Toby (or Molly).

Anyhoo, I still think it is a nice name.

You knew how to live it up

And still do...
