Thomas or Tobias?

As the title reads really, I'm going for T names and the middle name James after my late grandads full name, but his T name was really really old fashioned and he didn't like it himself and went by his middle name, so just other classic T names if anyone has other suggestions?

Thomas

Tobias is a terrible name

Thomas is a great choice

(I like Tobias too though )

Theodore
Thaddeus
Tyler
Terence
Tierney
Thorvald, Thorsten, etc
Torin
Timothy
Tobin
Trevor
Tristan
Tyrell

Personally I like Tobin.

If to choose between Tobias and Thomas, I like Tobias better. But I'm not a native english speaker and would pronounce it Tob-ee-as, rather than Tob-aye-as.

Love Thomas.

Thomas is fine. I do really like Tobias though. Or Toby?

Mamabear88 · 22/02/2020 11:44

I like both but prefer Tobias

TidyDancer · 22/02/2020 11:56

Thomas definitely. I have a friend with a Tobias and he's only ever known as Toby.

user1493494961 · 22/02/2020 12:02

Tobias.

Thomas, a good strong classic name.

Tobias is OK, but I don't like the inevitable diminutive Toby.
