I have always been fond of the name Tobias, ever since reading some book. I was under the impression that it was pronounced "Toe-by-us", but I was looking at a baby name website that had it listed "toe-by-uh" - as in the s is silent. Which way would you pronounce it?

There are two variants: Tobias (the way you're saying it) and Tobiah. The first represents the Greek version of the name, the second - the Hebrew original. It means "God is good."
