So, why Obito would choose a name like Tobi (except that it sounds a lot like Obito) I found there might just be some other reason too. I found this on the World Wide Web and it's pretty interesting.
Tobi had said to Deidara in the Sanbi filler arc!
He said, "Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, boku wa Tobi!" while referring to the tailed beasts.
It translates to: "Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, and I'm Tobi!"
Tobi's plan for world domination is to revive the Jyuubi, or "Ten-Tailed Beast".
But he also said that he was trying to achieve a complete form of his own.
Here's the neat part:
When counting from one to ten in Japanese, it goes:
Ichi, Ni, San, Yon, Go, Roku, Shichi, Hachi, Kyuu, Jyuu.
When counting objects, it goes differently:
Hitotsu, Futatsu, Mittsu, Yottsu, Itsusu, Muttsu, Nanatsu, Yatsu, Kokonotsu, To.
The tailed beasts get their names by combining the character for the number of tails they have with the character for "bi".
That means that Tobi's statement to Deidara can actually be translated as:
"One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, Three-Tailed, and I'm Ten-Tailed!"
