Tobias or Rowan

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Which do you prefer?

Tobias - will ne called Tobias at home but ok with others shortening once at school

Or

Rowan - would probably be shortened sometimes at home to Roo but Rowan mostly

I have a Rowan (DS) & know a Tobias. As far as I know it doesn't get shortened to Toby, but possibly Tobs.
I obviously prefer Rowan to Tobias - & it's only been misheard to Roman once.

Tobias - great name

I prefer Rowan for girls and it’s overused / especially combined with all the Romans and Robins

Tobias

Rowan, not keen on Tobias or Toby, but like Roo as well.

Ooh, both are good!

I'd say Tobias just edges it!

I like both, the Tobias I know goes by the NN Obi , because his little brother couldn't say Tobias or Toby properly. They're both in their thirties now but Obi stuck.
I also know an adult male Rowan lovely guy, very bright. Definitely wouldn't have been the naughty kid at school!

O prefer Rowan.

I only know one Rowan and he's lovely. I'm at numerous different baby groups week in week out and haven't come across any more, along with having a school aged DS too and haven't come across any Rowan's in his school or hobby circles either. Nor have I come across any in my teaching career. Definitely wouldn't put the name in the "naughty boy" box.

Tobias

Rowan

Rowan.

Rowen if I had to but they're both a bit wet

Rowan( biased as I have an adult one)

Rowan but I don't like Roo, and Roman, Reuben etc popular and they seem a bit samey.
Tobias - prefer Toby, and is it Tub-eye-us, 'Toe bias' or Tob-ee-as

Tobias is much nicer than Rowan. I know a Rowan who is not nice so my judgement is clouded.
I don’t like Toby though and you will get people calling him that, you can’t stop them.

I really like Toby, but not Tobias... so I'd say Rowan

Toby or Rohan. I like straight forward and smart.

Tobias so he can be called Toby.
Rowen to be shortened to Roo is embarrassing.
