Just that, really. I'm 28 weeks with dc2 and just thinking, help, we will need a name soon! Previous favourites (for dc1 who turned out to be Sebastian)included jasmine, jemima, Elliot and Nathaniel but gone off those a bit now having too long to think about it.

Lucas or Marcus for a boy. Abigail or Mariella for a girl. Love Mariella!

Oh I know also of one with a brother called Barnaby and the they are known as Bas and Barney.
Theodore is nice, Teddy and Seb is very sweet when they are little.

Boy - Leo.
Girl - Monica, Veronica.

I know a few Sebastians who variously have brothers called things like Theodore, Max and Charles if that helps

Gabriel is lovely but we have one in close friendship circle. And yes I love Oliver but a bit too popular for me at the moment. Do love it though, and Ollie.

Oliver seems the obvious choice but I would avoid due to its huge popularity. I think Gabriel sounds nice and not overused.

Luca is fab but I just don't know if we can get away with it with no Italian connections. I do have Spanish connections, another reason why Sebastian works well as it works well in Spanish too.

I have a friend with a Sebastian and a Luca. Love both their names!

Oh I love Laurence but it's the name of a prominent ex so I can't put that on Dh...

Ooh thanks so far. Most of these are on my imaginary list anyway so we are all probably along the same lines. I don't think I've quite ruled out the original short list - including Elliot - but yes Nathaniel might be a mouthful and I don't really like any of the nicknames for it. We don't really yet call Sebastian anything for short although I am sure we will and others will a some point. I do love names ending in belle and it's only been this evening (duh!) when I've realised I can't have Belle :)

Please do keep 'me coming. It's so hard trying to find a name you really love isn't it!

Sebastian is a gorgeous name.
James/Laurence/Tobias/Samuel
Alice/Emily/Eleanor/Grace

SanityClause · 15/10/2014 21:21

I know a Sebastian with a brother called Artur (not Arthur). Artur is older, though.

BlueChampagne · 15/10/2014 21:21

Boys: Conrad or Laurence
Girls: Constance or Felicity

Singmetosleepzzz · 15/10/2014 21:17

We have a Sebastian too and saved Leo in case DC2 was a boy. She is a girl!

Giabella · 15/10/2014 19:55

Boys - Theo, Xavier, Henry,

Girls - Annabelle, Arabella, Amelie, Esther, Esme, Sadie

Lovely name.

Like philippa , Florence, Catherine, Louise , Alexandra, . I also like Cordelia but that would be far too Waugh. Frances or Francesca? Georgina?

Jonathan, William, robin?
