Toby or Rory

[singmelullabies]

Just that basically!

Love Tobias nn Toby. Ds2 nearly Tobias but I figure he'd forever be Toby.

I like both but on the whole I prefer Rory ...

I know a Tobias nn Toby.

I'm not keen on either but Rory is the better of the two IMO.

I much prefer Rory x

Well Toby is a euphemism for willy so depends if that bothers you, or not.

Rory. I wanted it for DS but we have an 'R' surname. Love it

Rory.

Toby is a bit babyish for an adult.

Rory

Hassled I love your picture of Rorys roaming moors & having adventures - must tell DS!

On what planet is Toby a euphemism for willy

In Scotland.

Toby

In Scotland it's very commonly a euphemism for willy.

I love both of them, but DH disagrees. They are names for a cute little dog. Along with Molly.

Rory!

Toby

No one under the age of 40 would have a clue what a Toby jug is!

As for the willy thing, unless you're living in Scotland, why should you care. Plus, John is a nn for toilet, and Johnny a nn for a condom. Doubt that ever put anyone off

Rory is a gorgeous name.

Toby doesn't quite do it for me. This is a v middle-class comment, but one of my associations with the name is Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night (I did an English degree so hopefully this explains the rather "pseud"ish comment!) and I can't quite shake the association!

Ruari

Hmm....fairly even split which is no help whatsoever! Think I'm leaning towards Rory.

I do like that spelling Ronald but as neither DH nor I am Scottish it seems a bit like trying too hard?!

Rory.

I knew a Toby who was a cock; I shagged a lovely Rory.

Decisive then, Eugene
