It's fine. Shakespearean, suits baby, boy and man. Might get shortened to Tobes, which is awful.

Lovely

Peachbubble · 16/06/2019 19:53

I like it

DasMumBoot · 16/06/2019 19:54

I love it.

Quintella · 16/06/2019 19:59

Makes me think of Toby Young. And I hate thinking about Toby Young.

Love it. Would you use a longer form like Tobias ?

Herefortheduration · 16/06/2019 20:16

I know two, one 17 and the other 10. It's a perfectly acceptable name, not out there but common either. I like it.

The drippiest man I ever met was a Toby but that's just my bad luck. Not my cuppa because of him. Sorry.

AverageMummy · 16/06/2019 22:49

I really like it

ThirdTriMum · 16/06/2019 22:56

I love it! It's so cute and a great name for any age.

JaneGlorianaVillanueva · 16/06/2019 23:07

Love it!

fifipop185 · 16/06/2019 23:24

My favourite boys name. Will use it if I get a chance. There's a few around but not super popular.

tigerbear · 16/06/2019 23:25

My fiancé is a Toby and he’s the best person ever Smile

spiderlight · 17/06/2019 10:21

I love it. Wanted it for our DS but DH thought it sounded too posh with our surname. Only know one and he's a lovely little boy.

Sophronia · 17/06/2019 18:24

It’s quite ‘wet’ imo.

userabcname · 17/06/2019 18:26

We just had a primary school sports event at our school and all my year 10s who were helpers asked why every other boy there was called Toby! Hadn't realised it was so popular until today. It is a nice name though.

GlitterPixie · 17/06/2019 18:26

I love it

BelulahBlanca · 17/06/2019 18:28

I really like it. We had a quite handsome Toby at school with us.

BlueMerchant · 17/06/2019 18:32

I'm not keen. A bit 'wet'. I also think of carvery and jug. Sorry.

starzig · 17/06/2019 18:49

Jug

Banhaha · 17/06/2019 19:21

Nice

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/06/2019 19:23

Lovely.

Fishcakey · 17/06/2019 19:24

I don't like it. It's a dogs name Confused

justbeniceplease · 17/06/2019 19:25

It's slang for penis so it's a no from me.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/06/2019 19:26

Most names are dog names.
