boy's name - Toby

Hi mummies, I need your advice. I'm planning to name my baby boy: Toby. But my husband and colleagues told me that it sounds cute when he's still a child but he might grow up to hate this name? They said "imagine people calling him Toby at 30, 40, 50 years old?" I really do like this name though. I'm a Christian and Toby means "God is good" I'm in dilemma right now, should i forsake this name? Or dont put it in his birth cert but still call him Toby?

I don’t see it a problem. He might get nicknames as he get older anyway. I don’t find Toby to be too “childish”

Toby is fine! But if I were you I’d make sure my husband like the name too. :) just communicate with him.

I think Toby is a good name. As long as hubby and you are happy, just go for it.
