Tobias is my brother's name. One of the best men I know. Our father is LARRY OTHELLA, he wanted Toby Othello. My mother would NOT HAVE the disgrace of such an "informal" name as just Toby...so he is Tobias Othella!

Personal experiences with the name Tobias

When our son arrived we were undecided on a name. As my husband and I had a peaceful moment in the hours following his birth, my husband sat down on my hospital bed and declared, "God is good." I responded, "He is and that's what Tobias means, so that's his name!" We love the name and we love our Toby.

My great grandpa was Tobias and my grandma told the most wonderful stories about him. I decided when I was 11 I'd name one of my children after him. My son is now 13 years old and I love having my Tobias!!!

My best friend's older brother is named Tobias, but everyone calls him Tobi. He's the smartest person I've ever met, and he's an amazing artist! Everyone in their family is super gifted. Tobi told me that his first name is from is from his mom's boyfriend in college and his middle name, Anders, was after his paternal grandfather.

There is a boy named Tobias Jones in my school. I used to have a crush on him.
