Thomas Oberon nn Toby?

Boy Names

I love the name Thomas but dislike the nn Tommy (but I do like Tom). I quite like the nn Toby but can’t use Tobias/Tobin because it is the name of a close family-friend. Would Thomas Oberon be a way to Toby? Or would Thomas with two middle names that begin with O and B (i.e. Thomas Oliver Bowen) be feasible? TIA!

I think [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] OR [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] [name_m]Bowen[/name_m] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] could work. Also, there are plenty of names whose nicknames have a letter change in them, and I think [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] could certainly be one of them → example: [name_m]William[/name_m] nn [name_m]Bill[/name_m] – where does the B come from?

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] is fine without any middle name justifying

I love the name Toby!! I dislike [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and [name_u]Tobin[/name_u] so I’ve always been stumped on what [name_u]Toby[/name_u] could be short for (except my friend’s dog is name Toblerone nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] since he’s a chocolate lab :joy:) I
love the idea of [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] and I think it’s great! People will understand it and it’s sounds so classy and mature

I think that [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] definitely works! As would [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] O. B. And if I’m being completely honest I probably wouldn’t even bat and eye at [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] being nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] with or without a corresponding middle.

I think that if [name_f]Peggy[/name_f] can be a nickname for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], then [name_u]Toby[/name_u] can be a nickname for Thomas. Use it!

I absolutely love this! Very cool way to get to
[name_u]Toby[/name_u] (and [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] is a brilliant middle name.)

I think that [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] can work by itself, but it is more intuitive with middle name [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] or with two middles beginning with O and B.

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] is really cool! [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] [name_m]Bowen[/name_m] has a lot of charm too

That’s what I was hoping people would think. And for real, where does the B come from in Bill?

I definitely think [name_u]Toby[/name_u] could be a nickname for [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], regardless of the middle name, but I think [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] is HANDSOME! I love it.

I think it’s a stretch. YOU can call him [name_u]Toby[/name_u], but that doesn’t guarantee that others will.

I love the idea of [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] “Toby”! :yellow_heart: I don’t personally love [name_u]Oberon[/name_u], but it’s very cool and I do think it works well here. I also think [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] with a “B” middle name would be good! But I think [name_u]Toby[/name_u] works as a stretch-y but feasible nn for [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] regardless of the middle.
