I'm guessing you meant "my name is Toby" and not "my name Toby." Anyway, I know this Anup guy was just trying to help but I don't think he's up on pop culture. "My name is Toby" is probably referencing to the mini series 'Roots' where an African whose real name is Kunta Kinte is taken into slavery and has his name changed to Toby.
At one point the slave owner is whipping him and telling him that his name is Toby to which "Toby" responds "My name is Kunta Kinte". Now that the intro out of the way, the whole "My name is Toby" thing is obviously in reference to that. I can't remember exactly what show it was but I seem to remember a comedy show where a white guy is upset about something and he says something to a black guy like "and Kunte Kinte over here" and the black guy says "uhh my name is Toby" Its pretty funny.
