TobyMac is a bearer of this name. He's a GREAT singer.

Went to school with a girl named Toby it suited her very well, she was a tomboy.

Country singer Toby Keith.

A BEATUIFUL sweet CUTE gorgeous name! No? I've only ever heard it referred to as a boy's name. But it seems lovely for a girl also. I want to name my first boy child this. It's adorable.

I love this name, it's cute and simple and is the name of a boy I know. I think it suits him perfectly! It's not too common either which is good.

It's also a lovely, unusual and attractive name for a girl.

No offence to those who have this as a name, but this gives me the impression of a chubby child. It is a nice, strong sounding name but I am just used to a boy in my class who is chubby and often called Toby by some mean boys. I suppose that the name just rubbed off me that way, otherwise I would like it more.

A bearer is Toby Stevens! Plays dark, mysterious Mr. Rochester in BBC 2006 version of Jane Eyre.

To be honest, I find this name too kiddish. If an adult came up to me and said, "My name's Toby," I probably wouldn't take him very seriously.

In the manga and anime Naruto, there is a character named Toby. However, it is spelled with an I instead of a Y.

I always kind of liked this name for a boy. I don't care much for it on a girl.

I absolutely love this name. I've had this huge crush/obsession with Toby Keith for a long time, and I think of someone like him every time I think of this name: a fun-loving, down-to-earth, very funny, patriotic, and just in general a super nice guy. I know a lot of people who get a bad impression of this name, or name their child this after some alcolic or something in their family with this name, and don't like it. With people out there like Toby Keith bearing the name, I think it stands for something good and wholesome.

I hate this name for boys yet love it for girls.

Personally I would like the name better as a pets name. Maybe like a papillion or a house cat named this.

Main character in the book "Toby Scudder: King of the School" [Original title: "Toby Scudder: Ultimate Warrior"] written by David Gifaldi. I won't give a book review because I'm biased due to the fact that I'm the author's niece. I do like the name very much, although I prefer the spelling "Tobey".

The main character on the CTV show "The Listener" is named Toby Logan, a paramedic who is also telepathic.

In my honest opinion, this is a dog's name. I have a friend whose dog's name is Tobias (nickname Toby). Your child will likely get picked on for having this name.

I think Toby is super cute as a boy's name (horrible on a girl) - maybe a little TOO cute. Sometimes I do think this sounds a bit like a dog's name, since it is the name of Mr Punch's dog in the puppet show.

Toby is the ultimate little dog's name. It seems positively comical to me on a grown man.

Toby Turner is a famous Youtuber!

Tobi is my aunt's name. She's a knock out and always has been. To me Tobie has too many letters, Toby is for a boy and nickname while Tobi is a fun loving, artistic and mature woman.

Toby Dean was a singer and made records in the '40s.

Toby Nance is a character on the Canadian sci-fi show "Primeval: New World". She is portrayed by Crystal Lowe.
