Middle names for Sebastian and Rafferty

Hi all,

I am hoping for your help. I'm pregnant with a boy, only 23 weeks but now we know it's a boy our conversation usually comes around to names.

My DH and I can't agree on our favourite. His favourite is Sebastian, mine is Rafferty. I'm hoping that you can suggest some middle names which go well with either which might help us think which one we like better. Think we'll wait til he arrives and see what he looks like before we pick the name for definite, but thought it would be good to have some options.

Thanks

I'm the exact opposite.

I love Rafferty and it's nicknames. Absolutely hate Sebastian. It's a wet toff's name.

Haha, I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea wetaugust, but I really like it. Love the nicknames Rafe and Raffy, and think its a name which will suit him at all ages.

My DH wasn't keen at first but has come around to it, although he still prefers Sebastian.

Do you have a family name to use as middle name perhaps? They are both quite long so maybe a short middle name or just the Christian names are both nice on their own.

Thanks guys. I think we wouldn't want to use them both together, so we can choose whichever one we don't pick as a name if we have a second boy.

Agree that something short would probably better for both names.

I think Sebastian Rafferty sounds lovely.
