Tobias or Four?

[Little_lamb]

lol Same, but I say to-bye-as

[Hari]

I used to say to-bee-us at first but my friend told me it was to-bye-us when his name first came up and so ya...

[Little_lamb]

everyone has different pronunciation, I guess ur accent is wat matters the most, but Veronica says to-bye-us

[Hari]

Ya basically

[Little_lamb]

at the end we all knw who we are talking abot Tobia/Four so yeah....

[Hari]

Haha for reals it's not like there's 2 character one to-bye-us and another to-bee-as

[Little_lamb]

lol true that

[Little_lamb]

to-bye-us/toe-bee-as all the same

[Hari]

Lol yes

[Stormy]

I really like the name Tobias it has really grown on me!! It really shows who he really is inside. But four is still awesome and mysterious as well.

[Barney]

There is a show arrested development. One of the main character's name is Tobias. He is a short, skinny, bald, gay middle aged man. (nothing against gays)

So when I read Tobias, you can imagine what I pictured. IT MADE ME SO ANGRY! I love Four, it is so symbolic and cool and intense and ahh!!! Ugh. I am still not over it.

[[deleted user]]

Four! It's just so unique and cool..... and I used to pronounce Tobias wrong so it kinda ruined the name

[Andrea]

Four! It makes him seem more badass :D

[Sophie]

Tobias.

I love his more personal side. :)

[Cara]

I used to think Four but Tobias is growing on me (:

[May]

I prefer Four!!!

[Abbey]

Four... I laughed out loud when it was Tobias because of arrested development

[Sarakaay]

I've always just said Tow-be-us.

[Sydney]

Four cause the name really represents him and it makes him sound like the bad ass he is ;)

[Stormy]

At first I was pronouncing it Toe- bee- is. Then my friend corrected me and now I pronounce it Toe- Bi- is

[Emma Kate]

I like Tobias, but i wish it was pronounced a different way. I wish it was toBEEas instead of toBYEas.

[Stormy]

The actual pronunciation makes the name sound cooler then To-bee-is. I have finally just stated calling him Tobias because under all the tattoos and bada@@ness that's who he truly is.

I so agree! I still say it the first way, it sounds better to me.

[Amy]

I like Tobias better because he's still got the bad boy thing, but it's a more personal kind of thing then Four is.

[Stormy]

I agree Amy. When he's Tobias that's when he's all sweet and fluffy and ahhhhh!!! But still manages to pull off lots of awesomeness

[Amy]

Yup, Tobias is just (sigh) a dreamboat! I hope Theo does justice in the movie, still not sure if he's a good choice but he looks cute with Shailene. What do you think, Stormy?

[❤ Eva ❤]

Four

[Cassidy]

I like Four!!!! :) <4 <3 <3 <3

[Hannah]

I would have to say Tobias! I love his name and its way better than a number, but I still think four is a pretty cool name!

[Stormy]

@Amy: well I think Theos going to do a great job as Four!! For one thing he's really really hot, ahhhh sooo good looking! And also he's British, another plus! But also the guy can act!!! As for Shailene, I'm not sure what kind of chemistry they will have together. I hope it's not awkward because Theos considerably older than Shailene. Some of the stills I see of Shailene I get this feeling that's like omg THAT'S Tris, but others I don't get that feeling at all. I really need to see the actual trailer to really know

[Amy]

@Stormy: I hope so, he's so hot! I wish I actually knew him. I know, British people rock! But I heard in his interview, he did it in an American accent, so I wonder what it will be like. I know, I hope it's good because in some of the stills they look great together and then I stop to think if they will be good because of that age difference. I hope that the trailer comes soon so that we can actually determine if they are good. :)

[Stormy]

I really really wish that Theo kept his British accent for Divergent, his accents amazing! Oh to have a guy like Theo....<3!!!!! Hopefully at comic con they'll release the first trailer. I'm just hoping if will be a good trailer! They NEED to make an impression with this trailer. All the die hard Hunger Games fans are labeling it a HG rip off and the other people who know nothing about it are thinking it's just another YA flop. In the trailer they need to emphasize the themes of Divergent, the action, and slightly touch on the romantic flair. I'm so excited for this trailer!!! I cannot wait!

[Amy]

I know, when I first found out he was British, I'm like he needs to keep it. And then he didn't and I thought how Liam Hemsworth had the American accent in Hunger Games. I was so sad!
When is comic con? I hope it's soon, because I agree, they HAVE to make this impression because it's not an HG rip-off. I'm a die hard HG fan and I LOVE this series.
I can't wait either, I'm jumping up and down trying to keep my emotions in check.

[Stormy]

You make a very good point Amy, why do all the hot actors with awesome accents drop them??? Why???? Comic Con starts Wednesday I think and Divergents panel is on Thursday from 3-4 :D. If you check on ew.com/comiccon, Entertainment weekly will be doing routine comic con updates throughout the con so if the divergent footage gets released( and I hope it will) it will probably land there first. I used to be a big Hunger Games fan but the movie really ruined it for me. I really hope Divergent doesn't do the same thing to me :(

[Amy]

I don't know, it drives me nuts. If only this was a British movie, then they all would be British! :P But it takes place in Chicago. Have you noticed that most dystopian novels take place in America? Weird...
Oh, cool! I wish I could go and I hope that the trailer comes out when Comic Con arrives.
I still am (but not as big anymore) because I'm pretending that the movie never happened. Besides, the last book also ruined it for me. I hope so, but I'm trying not to have high expectations for it like I did with HG. Hope it's good though.

[Becky]

Definitely four! It's so much better than tobais because that sounds really stupid. If they were going to change his name then they should have picked something that was buffer than four not worse.

[Stormy]

Oh shoot sent the same post twice :p oh well!

[Stormy]

Yes, probably because a majority of dystopian writers are American. I'm writing a dystopian now and I switched it up so it's not set in America. I guess people write what they are familiar with. I agree, Mockingjay was sooo disappointing! Collins focused wayyyy too much on the love triangle and it was very very boring. Hope Allegiant's not like that!!! Can't wait!

[Amy]

Ooh, sounds good! Are you going to try publishing it anywhere?
I hope so, Roth hasn't disappointed yet, so I think it'll be good! Besides, there is no love triangle to worry about.

[Jess]

I hope this isn't out of the idea of the conversation, but what is comic con? It sounds awesome but I don't know what it is ?? Haha

[Stormy]

Well still in pre-write mode, I would love to publish, number 1 thing on my bucket list lol! Yeah the love triangle really threw me off in mockingjay. If you're going to have a love triangle, WRITE IT WELL!!!!! For example, love triangle in the dystopia the selection..... Worst kind of love triangle. One moment main lead Americas in love with the good boy the next she pines for the bad boy! Then you have your not really love triangles, e.g: Matched. In Matched you already know who Cassias going to pick half way through the first book. That's what I enjoyed so much about Divergent. You had none of that drama

[Amy]

Oh, cool! If you ever write it, let me know. I would LOVE to read it!
I know, oh my god, I HATE love triangles, I always have one and I don't like the other and I'm like why do you even exist? It's just frustrating.
Which is why I loved Divergent so much, as well. :D

[Stormy]

Thanks! The problem with writing is it takes time, so much time. Such a long process

Yeah I'm a helpless romantic so I enjoy romance and love triangles, well or at least I used to. Love triangles are becoming incredibly over used. Hopefully Divergent will spark a new era of non love triangles

I thought I was the only one...
I was on team Gale though and Katniss character in mockingjay had disappointed so much..I like Tris more.

[Marina]

Four sounds much better

[Amy]

I know, I had to write one for school last year. I had a whole year to work on it but I wrote it in 3 months. So now, a friend of mine is in a contest with me and that story is taking forever too!
Me too! I hope so, there aren't that many good ones in my opinion.

[Stormy]

I had to write a short story for creative writing this year and oh god it took me forever. Plus I write fan fiction (takes forever for me to finish one fan fiction!!!) so yeah writing time just takes awhile.

True true. A lot of the time during non love triangles the characters just make out the whole time *cough* shiver *cough*

I used to be team Peeta but then got converted to team gale. By the end of mockingjay I hated then both!!

[shrish]

I like Four more, as a name.

[Stormy]

It is a pretty cool name. Very fitting for dauntless
