Thoughts on Tobias?

[zozozoe123]

Big sister is Arabella, half brother is Cameron.

Middle name will be Joshua or Jack and last name starts with P and is two syllables.

28 weeks and really struggling with what to call baby boy still so suggestions welcome.

I think Tobias is lovely!

It's nice and goes well with the other names. If he ends up being "Toby" then that's lovely too.

I love it! And love Toby for short 😊

I don’t like it. It seems wet and twee

Generally seems like positive feedback so far which is unusual on here for names! Definitely a strong contender I think

Dislike it. So wet and Toby even worse

I don't like it. I far prefer Joshua or Jack as a first name. It's very twee.

I really wanted Tobias but my OH wasn't keen. I love it

I love it, a super name, and I like Toby for a nn very much too.

Your middle names, Jack and Joshua, are nice, but both have been in the names top ten for years so there will be thousands of them.

It's lovely and as a teacher it's one I hardly ever come across which makes it all the lovelier.

I have a Tobias who sometimes gets called Toby. I love the name and it definitely suits him. Although he is neither “wet” nor “twee”.

Yeah they are both family names and I like to have the middle names meaningful but wouldn’t use those as first names

Yes personally I think it sounds quite strong and masculine! Toby is cute but I can still picture an adult Toby and I like that it’s not super common but nor is it unusual

Oh thank you that’s definitely a good thing to hear!

I really like Tobias, and I've known some great Tobys (Tobies?)

Like Tobias and he will likely by Toby which is even nicer.

He’ll be Tobias for two minutes before becoming Toby or Tobes.

I don’t like Tobias either: it sounds Dickensian. The sound of the word ‘bias’ is very strong in it too.

I like it. I know two who are adults now. One has never been shortened to Toby, the other prefers Toby.

We have a Tobias and he generally is called “Tobs” ❤️

I don't like it at all.

I love it

I don’t like Toby though, which would put me off as I think it’s more likely he’ll end up Toby than not. I do know one grown up Tobias who is known by his full name.

Josiah maybe?

Love it,but I'm biased haha

He's always Tobias, never Toby so far

Also we often get positive feedback on his name

I love the name Tobias! I know a Tobias in his 40’s who is always a Tobias, & also 3 year old who is sometimes nn Toby / Tobes.
Great name & goes well with Arabella & Cameron too.

Tobias is much nicer than just Toby I think, sounds more adult. Toby is adorable on a baby/toddler though - makes me picture the cute baby in the red striped baby grow in the film Labyrinth. I’d be tempted to bounce baby Toby up in the air while singing “Magic Dance” to him ala David Bowie 🤣
