I think of pets with Toby, but my grandfather has named every single pet he's ever had Toby (once there were two cats, then one was Missy, but otherwise - seriously - male/female/dog/cat... All Toby)

Also I think it's a female name - since on the other side I had an Aunt Toby.

I think it's alright, and kind of pretty - but I can't get over my personal association with animals.

I knew a Tobin growing up and I always liked it. He went strictly by Tobin. I prefer Tobias, but I like Tobin too. Toby is fabulous.

Elijah
Benjamin
Karl

I prefer Tobias personally, but Tobin is decent. Toby/Tobin Arthur is also a great combo, so on the whole I say good choice!

I actually despise Tobin and Tobias, but like Toby. Tobin Arthur sounds fairly good, though.

Tobin Arthur is nice, especially because of significance (I'm big on that =P) The good thing about Tobin is that you could pair it with heaps of middle names. I like:
Tobin Edward
Tobin Oliver
Tobin Louis
Tobin Henry
Tobin Alexander

When I think of siblings, I think slighly more uncommon, yet still nice names...
Finn
Eric
Zachary (Zac)
Julia
Willow
