Sebastian is really nice and sounds nice with Clara but I don't think it works with Mark as a mn..

We went with a family name and it suits him but I still think jasper would have been better. !! Clara was a family name from 3 generations ago

ThePoisonwoodBible - What names would you choose with Clara? Thanks.

Jasper.

Although I don't think either are as nice as Clara or go particularly well with Clara.

DramaAlpaca · 22/08/2014 21:47

Jasper would go really well with Clara.

Jasper.

I have a Clara and very nearly went for jasper. I know a few Sebs - getting very popular. So jasper for me

cruikshank · 22/08/2014 18:50

Sebastian. Definitely. It sounds very distinguished. I wouldn't worry about shortenings either - people might well not shorten it if he consistently uses his full name when introducing himself or talking on the phone - or even gently corrects people who shorten it.

I like Sebastian but my problem with it is that I don't like any of the shortenings for it (Seb, Sebby, Bastian etc - they are all horribele IMO).

For that reason I vote for Jasper.

HollyBen · 22/08/2014 16:57

Sebastian though not keen on either
