We are expecting our baby in a few weeks time and whilst we have just about decided on a girls name, we are struggling to make a final decision on boys names!

We have two little boys at home called Oliver (known as Ollie) and Isaac (known as Zac) and my husband and I both love Joshua and Tobias if we have another sweet boy!

We are not fussed about the popularity of names and are just looking for some positive input, so I just wondered which name you feel fits best with our other children's?

Thank you for your help!

I think both of them 'go' with your other dc's names tbh. I like Joshua much more than Tobias.

Littlemissexpecting · 16/03/2013 09:21

I think they both go. I also prefer Joshua

Willow36 · 16/03/2013 09:24

Joshua

Joshua

BikeRunSki · 16/03/2013 09:33

I prefer Tobias! but both are good names.

RainbowBelle · 16/03/2013 09:36

Prefer Tobian (nn Toby) to Joshua.

RainbowBelle · 16/03/2013 09:37

Tobias I mean !!! (Tobian?!?)

Assajjventress · 16/03/2013 19:30

Tobian is quite cool

NowPlayingZone · 16/03/2013 20:07

Tobias goes best & is nicest. That's not to say I dislike Joshua though.

Beatrixpotty · 16/03/2013 20:17

With your other 2 going by nicknames I imagine this one would be known as Toby or Josh?I prefer Tobias to Joshua as full names but Josh to Toby as nicknames,but both are nice and go well with the other boys.

OkayHazel · 16/03/2013 20:46

TOBIAS! Love it!

Bowlersarm · 16/03/2013 20:52

Ollie Zac and Josh - fine
Ollie Zac and Toby - fine!

Go with either, both fit in with existing names

starlightloz · 16/03/2013 20:58

Tobias is the winner for me. I have one who is 10 and I am still delighted everytime I wrote it down and am so happy when I tell people his name !

Shybairns · 16/03/2013 20:58

Toby definitely.
Personally I find Joshua too American Hmm

raisah · 17/03/2013 03:51

Joshua is lovely & I think a Biblical / Hebrew name. Both of your chosen names fit well with your other dcs.

mathanxiety · 17/03/2013 04:22

Tobias would be my choice.

baskingseals · 17/03/2013 11:29

i also prefer Tobias.

LuLuLovesYou · 17/03/2013 11:53

Tobias....perfect!

blindworm · 17/03/2013 12:33

I would go with Joshua.

StandbyForNothing · 18/03/2013 10:23

I prefer Tobias.

wiltingfast · 18/03/2013 23:30

Both names are great.

Love Toby, was on our v short short list Wink

MsJupiterJones · 19/03/2013 15:24

Tobias/Toby is a lovely name. Never been keen on Joshua but as a group 'Ollie, Zac and Josh' sounds nice because of the three different sounds.

MoonHare · 19/03/2013 16:26

I much prefer Tobias

weegiemum · 19/03/2013 16:28

They both go, but I'm not keen on either, sorry.

CPtart · 19/03/2013 16:46

Prefer Joshua, also like Jacob and Adam....on a biblical theme!
