Hi all!
We are due a little boy in a few weeks and struggling for a name
We already have Tobias who we mostly call Toby.

Some names we’re considering:

Sullivan (Sully)
Miles
Arthur
Reuben
Otis

Which of these do you prefer or do you have any other suggestions maybe?
Thanks!

Miles - lovely and goes well with Toby

Arthur and Reuben great but way overused. I don’t personally like Otis. Sullivan I do think is a bit grim (sorry!) and if I were Sully I’d feel v annoyed my brother got a fab name with history like Tobias, and I didn’t…

Otherwise - Rufus, Nathaniel (Nat/Nate), Christopher (Kit, Christy), Nicholas (Nico), Robert (Robin), Ernest (Ernie), Edmund/Edwin (Ned), Silas, Hugh, Patrick, Alexander (Sandy, Xander), Alistair, Elijah (Eli), Joshua (Josh), Barnabas (Barney - Tobias and Barnabas known as Toby and Barney is a bit heart melting..)

Edmund (Ted)
Wilfred (Wilf)

Love Miles Arthur and Otis
Don't like Reuben

Joshua
Samuel
Josiah

(We have a Ted and if his younger sister had been a boy, she'd have been Tobias/Toby.)

Miles is the nicest on the list, and is another classic name. They go well together

vodkaginwine · 31/12/2021 19:19

My first thoughts were Barnaby (Barney) , Nathaniel (Nate), Robert (Bertie), Alexander (Alex) or Louis.

Miles and Reuben are nice.

Sully means to taint or spoil, so I'd avoid it. How about Solomon with nickname Sol or Solly?

I like Miles best from your list. I have a Toby. His brother is called Flynn Smile If we have another we like Rowan.

emmathedilemma · 05/01/2022 09:28

I like Arthur and Reuben but they seem to be very popular at the moment!
I really don't like Sullivan and not keen on Otis.
Sebastian was my first thought from the title of your post.

BlueFlavour · 05/01/2022 09:31

I like Solomon. I know a Solly and it really suits him. Good name and nice with Toby.

DuggeeHugs · 06/01/2022 19:02

I always think Tobias and Zachary go together well.

timoteigirl · 06/01/2022 22:02

I personally don't like any of them but would choose Otis. Would you consider another biblical name to go with Tobias?
