Sebastian or Alastair/Alister?

in Baby Names

Or Arthur?

Which do you prefer and why?  We live in Michigan, so Sebastian is obviously the most popular of the three.

    Alastair is my fav (with that spelling), but I teach a Sebastian nn Bass that is adorable, too.

    Alister is such a pretty name, and not as popular as Sebastian.  Arthur reminds me of that 1980's movie.  So Alister gets my vote.

    I like Sebastian, it's not an unusual name, but it's not common either. Alastair is ok but sounds a little too preppy for my taste. I just don't like the sound of Arthur.

    My answer is Alastair, but I'm biased b/c I have one.  I like Sebastian too, but not Arthur.

    For those with a son named Alastair or Alister, do you call him by his full name?  I don't like the idea of "Al."  Also, do you emphasize the "air" in Alastair?  I read on another board that it is said with the same ending as Alister.

    Yep, Alastair is just Alastair, pronounced AL-is-ter.  I guess we could call him Alec or Al if we wanted a nickname.  It's really not that long of a name, 3 syllables ... my DD is Natalie (also 3 syllables) and I don't intend to use a nickname with her either.   When I was pg with A I had the same thoughts as you that I don't want him called Al, but now I honestly wouldn't mind it, it would even be kind of cute, but I don't think anyone's even tried to call him Al before.
