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 :)

[Sophronia]

My DP's annoying colleague, he pronounces it to-bee-as, but I think it's usually toe-bias. I don't like it.

[OstentatiousBreastfeeder]

This beautiful creature. And toe-bye-uss.

[Junosmum]

Toe-bye-ass

I've watched arrested development but it didn't spring to mind. It doesn't really conjure anything in my mind.

[Sunflower1985]

Toby from the west wing, anyone? We liked this name but unfortunately had already used it for a hamster. It will surely always be shortened to Toby, which is also a nice name.

[ApplesTheHare]

Nevernude!!!

[TheImprobableGirl]

Probably tobias Eaton from divergent too! Yum!

[reuset]

Never heard anyone pronounce it as Toe-bee-us, I mean not in the UK anyway. English pronunciation is Toe-bye-us

[reuset]

Doesn't conjure up anything much. Just a normal nice name.

[Oakmaiden]

I have a Tobias. We pronounce it Toe-bye-us. Although, to be completely honest, we usually pronounce it Toe-bee :)

I love the name. Obviously.

[Losingmyreligion]

Mmmm. Oliver Tobias. Luke's Kingdom. Swoon.

[RiverTam]

Tobias Menzies, yum. Definitely Toe-bye-ass.

[iklboo]

DS's best mate. Kooky, funny, sweet. Never gets the full To-bye-us unless he's in trouble!

[gingerbreadmam]

[BlinkingHeck]

TRAPPER I think cat too from the Tim and Tobias books I read at school. I loved them.

I think of my mate who is call Tobias (Toe-BYE-ass). He's lovely, great fun and the campest man I ever met. Everyone does tend to shorten it to just 'Tobes' though.

[munchkin2902]

I like it. But it's my cat's name.

[BettyRooster]

Little, tiny denim cut offs

[Bexicles]

I wanted to use for my ds but I was vetoed. It's a lovely name.

[villainousbroodmare]

A jar of homemade Seville marmalade with a gingham top is what I think of. (Tubby and homely, I suppose.)

[Takver]

Tow-bye-as

And definitely Tobias/Four from Divergent! (Book rather than film version for me, though)

[WoweeZowee]

Funke.

Toe-by-us.

[maitaimojito]

Tow-bye-as

I think of a lovely blonde boy I know with the name (although he is known as Toby or Tobes unless in trouble!)
