Thoughts on Toby/Tobie

[mjs2130]

I really love the name [name]Toby[/name], just not sure it fits with our last name which is [name]Levy[/name] (2 long eee sounds).

We could name him [name]Tobias[/name] which sounds better with our ln and just call him [name]Toby[/name], but DH doesn’t see the point in [name]Tobias[/name] if we only ever call him [name]Toby[/name].

I’m also considering the same name spelled [name]Tobie[/name] for a girl ( just [name]Tobie[/name], not short for anything)

Any thoughts?? Too rhymey with our last name?

I would not use [name]Tobie[/name] for a girl. It is a manly name… leave it for the boys. I do not think that [name]Toby[/name] goes well with [name]Levy[/name], sorry. I’d avoid all names ending in an L, IE/ Y/ I.

I agree with this. I personally don’t find [name]Toby[/name], in the least, appealing.

[name]Toby[/name] for a boy or girl does not work with your last names.

I think [name]Toby[/name] is fine with your last name. It’s not the greatest but it’s not terrible, either!

It’s a bit too rhymey with your last name and I really dislike it for a girl.

I really hate girls names on boys and boys names on girls.

[name]Toby[/name] [name]Levy[/name] sounds fine.

What about [name]Tobin[/name]? [name]Tobin[/name] [name]Levy[/name] is great! I agree that [name]Toby[/name] [name]Levy[/name] doesn’t really work. [name]Tobias[/name] and [name]Tobin[/name] are both great alternatives though, and you could call him [name]Toby[/name] as a nickname. I don’t prefer [name]Tobie[/name] on a girl, but I generally don’t care for boy names on girls. If you are going to do it, using the [name]Tobie[/name] spelling does seem a bit more feminine.
