What if you spelled it differently?  My Uncle Toby spelled his without the E, or Tobie.  It wouldn't be exactly the same but you wouldn't lose your favorite Sim and all he's done that way.

I might try it, I spell it Tobey because I had a ferret that was very dear to me named Tobey and she died last year and ever since I have loved using the name for characters both male and female so it has a lot of sentimental value spelled this way. Hopefully they come up with a fix for it soon.

In the screenshot it doesn't say "which" name is not allowed. You have gotten a family shown, what are the names of the others in the household?

I bet the word "obey" is blocked. They previously blocked a lot of words related to sexual preference and they reversed that.

It's definitely Tobey, I played him by himself when I first played the game, and it gave me the error message with him and no one else.
