[Opinions] Re: Tobias
in reply to a message by Bex
I prefer Tobias to Theodore. I knew one little Tobias and he sometimes got called Bias or Tobe, but I think that was mostly by other small children. I think you could use Theodora and Tobias in the same sibling set, but both my boys have names that start with the same letter, so maybe I am biased! It was unintentional too, we just loved both the names. I love Tobias and Daphne for siblings! Maybe Tobias Caspian Stewart and Daphne Theodora (something) is a nice option, or maybe not, it's up to you obviously! Sarah -

I totally understand! Picking a name the first time around was easy, as I had always wanted to use Jasper, but picking a name the second time around was so hard! I didn't want a really popular name either and tbh, I didn't really want their names to start with the same letter, but I had to keep reminding myself to chuck out all the silly, self imposed rules and just go with a name we both loved. I really believe us name nerds make it harder for ourselves than it should be! At the end of the day, you just need to love the names, because you are going to be saying them a lot. And who's to say what names will get really popular anyway, because we can't always be right. Just try to relax about it and like I said, just use the names you love.
