- If a person named Тоби were to use a traditional Russian diminutive, they might be called Тобичка, which adds a layer of warmth and intimacy.
- The use of the letter 'и' in Тоби causes the preceding 'b' to undergo 'palatalization', meaning the 'b' sound is slightly softened and pushed against the roof of the mouth.
