Off the two Jude Sebastian really don't like sorry.

Plonker · 08/04/2012 23:45

Sebastian - love it, love it, love it!

Jude is ok, but Sebastian is much nicer

Kaekae · 08/04/2012 23:43

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs Agree, sounds great.

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 08/04/2012 23:41

I can solve your problem Jude Sebastian :)

ValentineBombshell · 08/04/2012 23:40

Sebastian, good choice

LoopyLoeufdePaques · 08/04/2012 23:39

Seb is LOVELY

Kaekae · 08/04/2012 23:37

Sebastian is fast becoming popular I would go for Jude. Quite a cool name.

emmyloo2 · 08/04/2012 12:29

Jude. Sebastian is a nice name but I know lots and lots of Sebastians and so it is just done for me.
Jude is much less common and i like it.

usualsuspect · 07/04/2012 22:14

Jude

gafhyb · 07/04/2012 22:14

Drat. I much prefer Jude. Could you wobble back again, please?

IsLovingAndGiving · 07/04/2012 22:03

Jude is my favourite.

survivingspring · 07/04/2012 20:24

They are both really nice - sorry that's very unhelpful!

They both have great literary links too, although both of them were totally doomed characters, I'm afraid. :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/04/2012 19:26

I like both of them. Aren't you the person who was looking for middle names, having already decided on Sebastian?

I think they are both good names - but I really don't like Seb.

mrsotter · 07/04/2012 19:06

Jude. Can't use it due to surname. Sad

GoGoBananas · 07/04/2012 19:03

Sebastian is lovely, good choice.

Jude has become very faddy. Leapt from almost nowhere into the top 100 and still on the up. I know several small ones, split evenly between girls and boys.

Sebastian by a country mile.

racingheart · 07/04/2012 19:02

I prefer Sebastian. Very nice sound.

All the Judes I've known have been PITAs. And all the associations are negative (Jude the Obscure; Judas in the bible.) Whereas sebastian makes me think of the gorgeous tv series Belle & sebastian.

DialMforMummy · 07/04/2012 19:02

Jude. For me, Sebastian is the gay and annoying secretary of the PM in Little Britain!

SmartiesMiniEggsRule · 07/04/2012 18:55

IMO Jude is short for Judith.
Definately Sebastian.

BeaditAli · 07/04/2012 18:53

Jude... Love it
Sebastian....... Really not a fan at all, sorry

Momdeguerre · 07/04/2012 18:50

I like both but I think I would go for Jude.

Jess850 · 07/04/2012 18:48

They both are lovely I know an adorable Jude and a great Sebastian - you can't go wrong really :-) Although don't think of Jude the Obscure - depressing!

ProlificYoungGentlemenBreeder · 06/04/2012 12:28
