What does everyone think of Tobin?

I'm thinking I like it. Is it a legit name?

It's legitimate enough. It's derived from Tobias. I think it's kind of silly though. It sounds like it should be a diminuative of Tobias. Or like something we'd call my cat for fun (his name is Tobias).

can't put my finger on what it is- but, don't like it

It's my friend's last name *shrug*

I'm from Boston so I immediately think of the Tobin Bridge.

I like it, but not enough to use it. I believe it's legit, but I'm not 100% sure.

It's an unusual name, but definitely legit, a form of Tobias. I like it very much.

I love this name! It's one of our top names for our next kiddo :)

[monkey-fruit.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it's legit. I don't really like it though, makes me think of a goofy kid. >_>;;

It's a legit name, but for me it doesn't sound like it ages well--I can only picture a little boy with this name, not a grown man.

this will only remind me of when paul rudd's character calls his friend "jobin" in "i love you, man."

BUT. i really do think it's cool, if kind of...silly? juvenile?

[laminy.livejournal.com]

OH, MY GOD. I completely forgot about Jobin! I only ever say 'totes-m-goats', but Jobin was awesome.

[alas-earwax.livejournal.com]

TOTES-M-GOATS. man, that movie is so good. and i know a guy who is exactly like paul rudd's character which makes it a little painful but still...sooo funny.

Lol I know. I know a guy who's nickname is Toby. I started calling him Tobin one day and could not figure out where I got it from. Then I watched I love you man for the second time and went 'ohhhhh' And then I decided that I like the name.

Don't like it.

There's a fellow student in my grad program named Tobin. I think he's 23 or 24. When I first saw his name, I thought it was young/trendy and was surprised that there was an adult with his name.

It's a last name to me. I don't think it's totally awful, but I infinitely prefer Tobias.

[patsfan610.livejournal.com]

i really like it :)

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

It's a legit name, and I like it -- but I will never not think of this guy. *points to icon*

[zante.livejournal.com]

Jigsaw!!!

I love the name Tobin because of him :D

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

asljfdlajflsajflajfasfj I knoooooooow. =D

I think I'm too much of a Saw fan to use it, for that exact reason. Given who I most associate the name with, it would just be too.... creepy, I think. I do love Tobias, though.

When i lived in Denmark one of the farmhands was named Tobin. And he was kind of a jerk so I never really liked the name, as compared to the most adorable mischievous little boy named Tobias which made me love Tobias (unfortunately my husband can only associate that name with Arrested Development.

At any rate, it's an ok name I guess, but not one I love,

[mudinherblood.livejournal.com]

I totally love it and would consider it for the baby in my tummy, if it didn't sound exactly like the last name we have. :(
