HelpRe: Tobin
in reply to a message by hylo
I think it's an interesting name, and I agree with you that it seems more down-to-earth and to-the-point than Tobias (both in appearance and pronunciation). Not to mention that Tobin doesn't have any unfortunate word associations (that I know of, at least), while Tobias reminds me a little bit too much of the English noun "bias".
Did you know that Tobin is currently the name of a minor character on the American television series "The Walking Dead"? He is a strong man in his 50s (used to be a construction worker before the zombie apocalypse, if I remember correctly), who had a brief fling with Carol until she left her people in order to live by herself as a hermit of sorts. I like what I have seen of the character so far (e.g. he is a gentle man), though he is a little bit bland, but that's part of being a minor character, I guess.

Anyway, I just thought I would point that out, so that you know that at least in pop culture, there is currently a decently mainstream bearer of the name.
