Timothy and Toby
What are your thoughts on these two? Thanks!

I like Timothy, nn Tim, but not enough to use. It seems a bit flimsy somehow. We had a huge, friendly, beautiful Toby cat, who was named at the rescue centre we got him from. A delightful, lovable animal, who went into a neighbour's garden unaware that she was looking after her son's two dogs, one of which had a raging phobia about cats and killed Toby with one bite to the throat. So, mixed feelings there.
Don't care for either one. I think they make someone sound perpetually 5 years old.
I like Timothy, mainly for the nn Tim. Toby sounds like a big clumsy, slobbering dog.
I wouldn't use Timothy on a real son, because he'd be sure to be called Timmy by someone as a young child and I think Timmy is the most annoying little-boy nn around.
