Opinions on Boys Names please!!

I think Coby is a very feminine name, but I love Toby! I have grown up with a Toby (his real name is Tobias) and he has been a cute kid, great as a teen and now at 25 he is almost a doctor. I think its quite a strong name

I'm biased lol my eldest DS is Cobie so I love it. It can be spelt Koby as well. I have always liked Toby to but with a Cobie it is to close. My Cobie is nearly 12 now and you couldn't find a more manly, sports mad boy if you tried. I have no trouble seeing him as an adult with that name and if you do then just look at the american basketballer Koby Bryant.

No offence Kim but I don't find Koby Bryant much of a role model LOL

I like Toby and Tobias as a formal name

Thanks everyone for your opinions. DH is still liking Toby but doesn't like Tobias.
I think it will definately be on our shortlist!
We won't be able to decide before we meet our bubba so we will be taking a list of a few faves with us to Hospital!

Thanks again

No offence taken as I don't think he is much of a role model either but was trying to get across that there are other Coby's out there and some famous ones. We actually thought we'd made up Cobies's name lol but then we have heard of it fairly regularly lol

I prefer Tobias (Toby for short) - this is the game that DH and I played when we picked our Son's First name.... "Please rise for Prime Minister (insert name)" I know it sounds silly but the names might seem cute but they will enivitably grow up and may be in a high profile position. Its nice to give them a formal name and then call them what ever you want when they are little.

Just my 2c

I was just looking through the top 100 australian names for 2009 and Toby is on there. Just straight Toby. So I don't think it'll be at all an 'odd' name for a male adult once this generation grows up.
