Tobias popped in my head today - how do you feel about it? Too old, too serious?
What names would sound well with it?

Tobias Henry
Tobias Harry
Tobias Gabriel
Tobias Raphael
Tobias Noah
Tobias Jonah
Tobias Jude
Tobias John
Tobias Liam
Tobias Ethan
Tobias Remy
Tobias Aaron
Tobias Charlie
Tobias David

I love Tobias.

It's been a favorite for years. My favorite combo has always been Zev Tobias. I think that it would flow well with most names. Some ideas would be Tobias Raphael, Tobias Simon, Tobias Joshua, Tobias James.

I think that the name is ok, but I'd never use it. Every time that I see Tobias I think of the character Tobias from Arrested Development. If you've ever seen that show, you wouldn't want to name your kid Tobias either lol.

Oh, I LOVE Tobias! My sister/best friend is pregnant and if it's a boy she wants to name him Tobias. I think Tobias Gabriel makes a handsome combo.

I hope she won't change her name at the last moment, then.
Yep, Gabriel would sound very nice.

I don't watch NCIS, but I DO think of the guy from Arrested Development whenever I see Tobias. If you've ever seen that show you wouldn't ever use Tobias, either haha!
