Name Dilemma Resolved

Jun 30, 2009 11:09

Bill and I decided last night that, if it's a boy, he'll be TOBY.  It's the only name that really "spoke" to both of us from the moment we saw it on a baby name list.  We're not making it short for Tobias or Tobin, neither of which we are crazy about.  Maybe I'm influenced by Toby Keith, but I think of a strong, friendly man when I think of the name Toby.  And unlike Tobey Maguire, who was given the name Tobias, I learned Toby Keith was born a Toby.

I also found this baby name Test Drive online, and feel the name works.

  1. Toby, could you please set the table?
  2. I am not joking around Toby, this is really important to me!
  3. Toby--Toby! Are you listening to me!?!
  4. Hello, Wellington Inc. this is Toby.
  5. Toby Atwater, come on down! You're the next contestant!
  6. Hey Toby. How are you doing?
  7. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Toby Atwater.
  8. Toby! Pick up your toys. I am not going to ask you again.
  9. I am at Toby Atwater's house.
  10. Do you Toby Atwater take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
  11. I talked to Toby this afternoon.
  12. I am sorry, Toby isn't here right now. Can I take a message?
  13. You'll have to see Toby Atwater about that. He will know what to do.
  14. Yes? Toby? Do you have a question?
  15. Mr. Atwater, if Toby would consistently turn his homework in--on time--he would be one of my star pupils.
  16. Would passenger Toby Atwater please see the nearest ticket agent?
  17. Toby. Is that you?
  18. And the winner is... Toby Atwater!
  19. Mommy! Toby ate my cookie!
  20. Hello, you've reached the voice mail of Toby Atwater. I am away from my desk right now. Please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as possible.
  21. Toby, it's not the end of the world. It's just a car. You are more important than a car.
  22. Toby, I love you!
  23. Write back soon. Your Friend, Toby
  24. Does Toby like avocado?
  25. Toby, it's time for dinner.
  26. Toby, Atwater. Spelled T-O-B-Y.
  27. Oh, there you are Toby. I've been looking all over for you!

We're trying to come up with a middle name now.  The only two we like so far are Toby James or Toby Christian.

Of course, the baby could be a girl, in which case she'll be Kaitlyn Elizabeth.

And, of course, anything could change when the baby gets here.  LOL

boy, baby, names, pregnancy
