Final 3 boys names

After much debate we've got down to the final three boys names. We'll probably make a final decision when he eventually arrives (currently 40+8 with no signs of impending labour) but interested to know what the favourite would be.

Rufus
Sebastian
Nathaniel

Middle name will be David, surname is three syllables starting with B.

I like Nathaniel, but I think Nathaniel Daniel doesn't sound good.

My vote is for Sebastian

Seb, Nate, Ruf

If my two sons and their friends are anything to go by the names will definitely be shortened but their friends. Does that influence you at all? Not keen on Ruf!

Rufus and Sebastian are both really nice. Nathaniel is a bit boring in comparison.

Definitely Nathaniel. Sebastian is ok as well, don't like Rufus.

Rufus, awesome
Sebastian, yes
Nathaniel, depends. Good name in itself, but has been ruined for me by the many unsavoury Nathans about (not that they're all bad).
