    Which name?

    DH and I had decided on a name for this little man but in not sure.

    Our older boys names are in my signature and the name we had for this little one was Tobias Arthur. I'm not sure it fits with our other names. I'm leaning towards Joel Arthur.

    Which do you like better?

    I like Tobias better. I think it goes better with your boys names too.

    I really like Tobias as I would shorten it to Toby. Are you going to be ok with people doing that?

    I'd go with Tobias, I think it's a great name and goes better with your other boys than Joel.

    We're in the same boat as you - had a name all picked out, but now it doesn't feel like him!

    Tobias. A dear friend incidentally has a one year old named Arthur, it is an unexpectedly handsome name.

    I love the name Tobias, its on my boy list. But mainly due to it being the name of a character in a series I love (a very unhealthy amount).
    So yes Tobias is awesome

    Definitely Tobias. As long as you don't mind Toby, as Ali said.

    I've always been a fan of the name Toby and I personally like it more than Tobias. If you were going to go by Tobias, I would say I prefer Joel. That being said, now that you've mentioned Joel, I like that name too!

    Another Tobias fan. I think it sounds great with your other boys' names

    I don't mind Joel but prefer Tobias.

    Surname starts with an S which is probably what threw me. Is it to much to have Tobias S??

    I think it sounds fine with your surname, it's still easy enough to say together and doesn't sound odd or anything.

    Thanks ladies. DH really likes this name and I don't mind it but was a little concerned. Too much time to think

    I think Tobias is fine with an S surname and TAS are cool initials to have.

    Just to be different, I prefer Joel over Tobias. But I think Tobias goes better with your other two DS's names.
