I've decided on Anna as a girls name but am torn between these for a boy. Middle name elwyn.

Any thoughts? :)

Hard decision both great names I prefer Sebastian but like you said Rory would probably be easier during the school years. Both go great with your chosen middle name though.

Rory.

Sebastian is too long. It's a bit clichéd as well imo, like Rupert.

Rory for sure!

Rory is my favourite of the two, but I do like Sebastian.

Oh no! Divided opinion!

I think Rory maybe goes better with Elwyn. But I think I might prefer Sebastian. It's a bit of a mouthful though and quite 'posh' (this is NOT a posh area!)

I wonder if Rory would fit in better at the local special measures primary than Sebastian would?

Rory

I love both, but Sebastian just moves ahead for me. I would keep both in mind and wait till you meet him or her. We had two names and although we went for my favourite in the end, it was really good to have another to check that the favourite was, in fact the right one!

I have a Sebastian and it is a beautiful name.

Sebastian by a country mile!

Rory. Our friends just named their little boy thus and he's gorgeous.

Sebastian is stunning

Allalonenow · 07/10/2014 18:46

Both fab names, I'd say wait and see if he looks like a Rory or a Sebastian.

Rory
