I've never cared for it. It seems stupid to me, a name that a wannabe hippie would use. I far prefer Tobias.

Elliot and Spencer have a completely different vibe to me than Tobin. The first two have a yuppie, intelligent feeling to them, Tobin just strikes me as a name for a none-too-bright surfer.

I don't mind the name Tobin at all. I think it fits well with the other names you like.

I like it. I like Toby as a nickname.

It's nice, though I think I prefer just Toby. I love Spencer and Elliott is cute, too. I think the 3 names sound good together :-)

Tobin is great! Elliott, Tobin and Spencer sound amazing. Really love all three, even Elliott, Tobin and Sebastian would be awesome.

I think that they match well. Spencer, Elliott, and Tobin would make a good sibset. I like all three of these names even though they are nms. But out of those three Tobin is the most my style.

I knew a Tobin. He was my sister's best friends brother. Her name was Tamra and her older brothers were Tyler and Tobin.

Tobin was also in my math class until he stopped being in it to take more advanced math at a different school. I was always in the math class one grade level above mine in middle school and high school. He was in my class but our class was two or three grade levels above the one he should have been in. His best friend from his grade level was also in our class eventually. Tobin was very smart and loved building robots and playing video games. Since he is the only Tobin I've ever personally known he is what I think of when I hear the name. Though I have seen other Tobin's, but not many.

I wouldn't mind encountering Tobin more often. Tobin already sounds warm and friendly to me, but having actually meet someone named Tobin who was personable reinforces that idea for me.

I think that Tobin would work with Elliott and Spencer, especially Elliott.

I love Tobin. I used to like Tobiah or Tobias better but since I've had a little Tobin at my work who is the most mischievous yet lovable little imp of a child, I've love Tobin a bit more.

It sounds great with Elliott and Spencer as well :)

I think I prefer Tobias but Tobin is nice. I think it fits really well with Elliott and Spencer, they make great brothers.

I love it, DBF and I talked about it as a name for a child when we were engaged. It has a really awesome Biblical connection that DBF and I like, but at the same time it's not at all well known in that context so it doesn't become off-putting for those who aren't religious. It's got a great firm sound without being so overwhelmingly macho like Tobias always seems to me.

Also, Elliott, Spencer, and Tobin do sound like brothers actually.

It's interesting. I would rather see Tobias, honestly, but Tobin is interesting. I think it works with Elliott and Spencer.
