Baby Names
Give it to me, ladies.
I LOVE the honesty of this board, so give it to me. We just found out this morning we are having a boy. Thoughts on Sebastian? Too long? Too formal? Any wierd nn's he would have to contend with? We have also talked about Milo. Good, bad, ugly? DD is Annabel.

Re: Give it to me, ladies.
While it isn't terrible, I just really never liked this name.
I prefer Milo over Sebastian. The only nn I can think of for Sebastian is Sea Bass. Where I udsed to live there was actually a radio DJ that was named Sebastian that went by Sea Bass on the radio so that's why I think of it.
I love Sebastian and Milo.
Both are great, and I like them both the same.

Sebastian is to fussy for my tastes. I don't hate it, but I don't like it.
Love Milo, though.

I like Sebastian, but I don't like that there is not a clear nn.
I really like Milo!
As a sibset, I really like how Annabel and Sebastian sound together better than Annabel and Milo.
If you like Sebastian, go for it!
I LOOOOVE Milo!
Sebastian, really strongly dislike. It doesn't seem very masculine, and I as well think of:
Which isn't necessarily terrible, I just don't feel like Sebastian fits anyone, (no one "looks" like a Sebastian) besides this lobster.

I actually like Sebastian but I am a huge nicknamer and I don't care for the nn's...I have heard Seb, Sebby, Bastian and Bash.
Love Milo!
Sebastian is my back-up name for a boy. We're going with Bast or Bastian for a nn. I also love Milo, but I recently worked with a Myles and he pretty much turned me off of the name or anything similar
That being said, I think both are strong, classic, but uncommon names. You won't have anyone looking at your kid's class list and thinking, "Wow, is that even a real name?"
There is a (great) bank called Belle and Sebastian. Annabel and Sebastian just sound way too close to the band for me.
I love Milo though.
After a book series I read, I love the name Sebastian. I'm not sure what the kids would give him for a nickname though. They might even go with his middle name for a nickname?
Milo I'm not a fan of. And I'm not particularly crazy about it with Annabel as a sibling either.
I agree, but I love Milo!
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

I don't mind the name sebastian.. But I agree with others that it's a little "fussy" and just for a sidenote, the only sebastian I knew was gay... So that's what I have in my head.
oh, and the crab from little mermaid.
All that being said, it really it's bad, just NMS....
like milo. Annabel is SUPER cute.
Ditto.
Love Sebastian!
It's a very sophisticated name. I don't think "fussy" I think "classy" like I do with Annabelle
Milo isn't bad but it's wayyyyyyy less cool to me
Sea bass is a funny nickname, but it's cute. I also like Bash or Bastian as a nn and think Bash and Belle make a super cute sibset
