Anthony Frobisher and Tones Frobisher

[lewsk]

"Anthony Frobisher is young and geekily bespectacled...Brady is also young, but better-looking than Tones Frobisher....Brady thinks only Tones Frobisher would say the great majority...Anthony “Tones” Frobisher must not know that Brady hates him."

Brady coworker Anthony Frobisher has name Tones.
Is it Tones a nickname or his middle name?
I think Tones is nickname as Frobisher tones the topic that they talk about. Am I right?

"Tony" is short for Anthony. I took it as "Tones" being a play on the shortened name "Tony"

Welcome. You're right. I also took it to be a little sarcastic.

...Anthony “Tones” Frobisher must not know that Brady hates him."
If Tones is shortend for Anthony, Anthony “Tones” Frobisher is repeated?

Yes, it's repeated. The Quotation marks are just telling you it's his nickname.

Edit: My name is actually Deborah. So, written like that it would be Deborah "Debbie" (Last name).

Edit again: If they called me something else, my nickname would still be written that way. For example...Deborah "The Butterfly" (Last name)

Hope that helped you.
