Soap pinched name.....again!!!

[beckieperk]

Sebastian. Bloody Rebecca in emerdale just named her baby sebastian. Should I still use?? Would you??

[TheAntiBoop]

I don't think that should be a problem

[Ummmmgogo]

lol of course you can still use it! it's a lovely name

[Lobsterquadrille2]

It's an excellent name and I don't know anyone who watches Emmerdale!

[Thesqueezermustghost]

Of course!

[Xeneth88]

Sienna in Hollyoaks has named her baby Sebastian to. It's quite well used now.

[Appuskidu]

It’s not like it’s an unusual name that’s Emmerdale just invented-of course you can still use it!

[Joinourclub]

It's not a rare name, so I don't think anyone would think "emmerdale" when they heard it!

[beckieperk]

Ok. Thanks. Just checking opinions....lol.

[Frouby]

I have a Sebastian. He is 4 next month.

You can still use it if you want.

[Ttbb]

When I hear Sebastian I think brideshead. I'm sure it will be fine.

[Caulk]

Soaps use it because it’s populat and people will be currently using it. It’s fine. Unless you’re obviously an actor on Emmerdale then use it.

I thought it was washing soap...

[Intercom]

Use it anyway.

[AutumnalLeaves38]

Sebastian is hardly as rare and distinctive as, say, "Copernicus", OP!!

Could be connected in many people's minds to many different Sebastians in the public eye, fictional or otherwise.
Round these parts, it's not unusual in RL.

Go ahead without any worries. Nice name.

[SuperBeagle]

Sebastian is quite popular.

It was no. 36 here in Australia in 2016, making it more popular than George, Finn, Hugo, Louis and other names which seem to be everywhere at the moment!

But it's a lovely name, and you should use it anyway.

[BernardBlacksHangover]

I have no idea who Rebecca from emmerdale is! I think it’s fine.

[NamasteNiki]

That is only a problem if people watch and care about such utter shite like emmerdale and eastenders.

Never have watched, never will watch.

[onalongsabbatical]

Another one who thinks Brideshead! And Sebastian Faulks. Not to speak of Sebastian Barry.
Emmerdale not even in my universe.
It's a lovely name, and quite classic, really.

[RandomMess]

Back in the day Eastenders pinched
“My” name for DD - Tiffany

[icantgetnosleep5]

Omg I feel ur pain. THREE times my name's have been used in films /programs within weeks of my due date !! I Always wanted to use Bernadette and they've just introduced one in a horrid family in eastenders! Gutted !!

[icantgetnosleep5]

I'd still use it if I were u. Its a great name, and lots of pple wnt watch emerdale (I dnt)

Its not a veeery underused name, so I'm sure no1 would think Ud heard it from the program anyway :)
Good luck
