Stupid question, I know…
[name]Say[/name] the word “Toe”
then the word “Buy”
then the letter “S”
One of my all time favorite names
This is on my favorite boy’s list as well!
I pronounce it more like tuh-bye-iss…versus toe-bye-iss.
I pronounce it
Toe-B-Us
Okay. I just went all name nerd and looked up/listened to the pronunciation (Merriam-[name]Webster[/name] Dictionary and another site), and it’s tuh-bye-iss. (The toe/tuh beginning probably varies from person to person, but the bye part is definitely bye, not bee.)
Good luck!
To be a little more correct, it’s toe-BY-iss. The stress is on the BY. tuh-BY-ess. There may be some variation, but very little; it’s not TOE-be-as or TOE-BE-us or TOB-yus.
Toe-buy-us
I like the tuh-by-us pronunciation though.
And oops I forgot I was looking at a really old thread. Lol.
Tuh
Buy
Us
I pronounce it toe-BY-es.
In [name_m]German[/name_m] it is toh-[name_f]BEE[/name_f]-uhs
Tuh-bye-ess
Where I live it’s pronounced Toh-bee-uhs. I dislike the other pronounciations.
It’s pronounced TOH-bee-uhs where I live, as it is in many places … so the ‘bee’ pronounciation is by no means wrong, like some people here claim.
Tuh-bye-us here too.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the name.
