Theobald! Gosh.
Yay for Idris and Eleri.
Tobi is apparently Nigerian - looked it up as the unusual spelling seemed like it might be from some other language.
If Taiga is pronounced how I think it is, there will be a lot of mis-spelling in her future.

Tobi is Nigerian? His parents' names don't sound very Nigerian. Then again, English people would never give a boy a name ending in I (not even Eli or Levi - English people do not name their sons those names), so maybe he is.

Taiga as in - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiga. In Croatian it's tajga, bit I like this version better (especially as a name). Is it not a normal word in English, for people to have issues with spelling/pronunciation (we learn it in primary school geography)?

In South Africa it might appear in secondary-school geography! But we're rather far away from it. I've often imagined a sibset of Savannah and Taiga and Ocean and Prairie.I would guess that Pie would guess that people would guess that it wasn't the boreal region but the stripey Indian big cat ... which might appear, let's say, entertaining. Not if it was written down, obviously.

LOL at that last sentence! The tiger - taiga thing didn't even occur to me since I don't pronounce them the same, but I can see how in some accents it might sound similar.

Yup, most of the UK is non-rhotic, so tiger and taiga would be pronounced identically.
