HelpRe: Tobias
in reply to a message by Paronomasia
Oldish guy in homespun robes and handmade sandals, possibly a turban, steadily climbing a sand-dune.
Nothing bad about it, but it comes from a period and a civilisation that I'm not part of.
Toby is OK; pretty versatile name, could comfortably belong to just about anyone.
My first connection actually is with the greatest of Damon Runyon's short stories: Tobias the Terrible. Tobias is a weed and a wimp who inadvertently wins the heart of his girlfriend when he is arrested for being in possession of the side-arms of every gangster in town. Brilliant story. Read it! And he's known to the girlfriend (Miss Deborah Weems!) as Toby.
