i say TO-BEE-US mostly everyone i know says TO-BYE-US, even though they pronounce it TO-BYE-US in the movie, i still think it is to-bee-us

Michael Brown tobias is not pronounced to-bi-us
tobias is not pronounced too-bi-us
tobias is not pronounced tob-bi-us
tobias is not pronounced toe-bi-us

tobias is pronounced tah-bi-us

it is the greek version of the Hebrew name Toviyah which means goddess of god

I don't know why tobias is said that way does not look like it.

I have a hunch it is pronounced tah-bi-us because it is a Greek word/name

The name Hallie has many origins, but it is said that it is a Greek name. How would you pronounce it if that's the case?
