Comments on the clue
1.Sound and concise. I don't think it needs the question mark but it's still my top choice
2.Is first sufficient to indicate first name?

1.
A lot of clues use the obvious "toy", "boy" or both, so they need something extra to stand out. I think 12 is the best of those, but the straightforward definition of "toy" in 5 is my top choice.
