When I say Tobias, you think....

[NannyFlower]

As title says.

Not particularly looking for opinions on likeability, but what comes to mind if you hear the name Tobias?

And do you read/pronounce it TOW-BEE-AS or TO-BIAS?

Thanks :)

Toe-bye-uss

I have never known a child with this name so I would be interested I suppose. I would expect it would be shortened to Toby

Funke. but I realise I'm probably in a minority. If it wasn't for watching Arrested Development id think it was very nice. I say to-bias

Cat.

Tobias Funke.

I'd think, what a great name! I'd say 'To-bias'.

Dying light

Tow-bi-ass and I though red trousers

A nice graduate at work. Tall and polite. He's Toe Bye Aas, never Toby!

Toe-bye-us here too.

But the name makes me think of a total tit of a bloke I knew in my late teens.

Which is a real shame, as it's a lovely name.

To by us.

And it reminds me of a pompous privately educated 30 something manchild

Sorry

To-bais
Strong, large man.

Toe-BI-as

I think lovely name!

My dad's name

Toe-bye-as. I like it a lot. I think of the quirky n fab little boy Tobias I know. He also has a sibling called Felix n think they r lovely names together (could u have twins? Lol)

Nevernude (AD fan!)

Oliver Tobias but then im really old (he was a my real crush in Arthur of the Britons)

My gorgeous son.

Posh but affably nice graduate trainee working in recruitment.

I think of a little boy at boarding school pulling on a pair of stripey pyjamas.

Fuck knows how my mind works

Oh God yes Laska! Oliver Tobias

Is he still with us?

to-bias

posh.
or a fisherman.

Posh, tall, blond curly hair, shy.

Four. Tobias and Tris. Naff book and naffer film but hot as hell.

Not a fan of the name but this isnt my child so feel free to discount my opinion

The first time I ever saw it written was in Heidi (I think the character's name was mentioned once, very much in passing). I didn't know how to pronounce it (I thought Toby-Azz), but still thought it was a great name.

First time I heard it was in the Netherlands, I was a teenager and heard a mum calling a little blond toddler in a sing-song voice "Taw-bee-aaas".

I have absolutely loved the name ever since.

My lovely friend. Kind and softly spoken, very deep, kind soul and clever.

Lovely Toby :)
