I love Tobias! It has been one of my favorite names for a long time. I wasn't a fan of the nn Toby for a while (because of Maguire), but it has grown on me too, since he doesn't go by the full name so it's pretty distant from him in my mind. I know of a Tobias in a television show who is a grumpy, cynical, balding defense department agent, but I first learned of the name in a book series I used to read, and that character was soft spoken, kind, and young. I always picture a young Tobias as wiry, tall, and brunette, and as well-mannered and good-lookging. Because of the origin of this name for me, it is a bit literary, but I would LOVE to see it on a kid. I think it has a great ring (although some people dislike the "bias" part) and could go with a great many types of people. Keep up the hope, I think it's lovely. :)
