Mixed reviews

[May2021Mummy]

So I had very mixed reviews about Dexter and Stanley

So how do you feel about Toby?

I'm really struggling to find any others my OH will even consider

Naming a baby is so hard 😢

I much prefer Toby to Stanley and Dexter.

I'm not keen on Toby but I love Stanley. It is a very love/hate name though but I like it because it isn't super common. I like Dexter despite the link with the TV show.

Also, none of these names are super edgy or should draw any criticism in real life. They work for a baby and an adult, plus give nick names. If you like them don't worry about others opinions.

Hate Toby sorry, I have a very dear friend Toby but it’s still wet. I do like Tobias.

I like Stanley. I don’t hate Dexter but I think it’s weird as a first name.

Um... Barnaby, Diggory, Rory??

Good luck!

For what it’s worth I like Toby as a name!

I like all three. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.
Some other names you might like with a similar feel:
Arthur, Harry, Edward

Toby is the nicest of the 3.

Toby is very nice.

Toby is lovely.

Dexter is ok, can’t stand Stanley.

I always think of Toby in the Hugh, Guy, Hugo category of names, Stanley with Winston and Wilf, and Dexter with Conrad and Mason. Different types of name.

Forget what others think. What's right for you is important. All great names

Dexter
Toby
Stanley

Best to worst. But, at the end of the day what you like is all that matters. We never discussed names with anyone other than each other when picking names.

I adore Stanley, my top boy name ever. Wee Stan! Love it. Not keen on Dexter personally. I agree it’s stressful deciding, if you have time yes take a break and come back. But in RL I’d never tell people names we were considering because people are brutal - MN is the same/worse so not best place to sort out your inner dilemmas on this!!
