Which of these do you prefer and which work with Sebastian?

Our surname is Wheeler.

Thanks!

I have a Sebastian. It’s quite a pretentious sounding name

Would also love to hear what you associate with these names too?

I get worried Ralph sounds a lot like Rolf (Harris).

Jenson I think may not last and will be like Jaxson/Harvey/Maddison and other names like that.

Hugh - I take your point Falaffels. My DH also worries with Hugh that kids will pick on DS because it sounds more like a sound than a name.

Monty - my DH and I cant agree on the long derivative of the name - I cant stop thinking of Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons so I would prefer Montague. Any thoughts?

Don’t like Jensen. Others are fine. Maybe Montgomery -nn Monty?

Ralph or Hugh. I prefer Ralph.

I have a Sebastian. It’s quite a pretentious sounding name so I think you’ve got to go with something that doesn’t sound too posh (unless this is what you’re going for).

Jenson..i also love Austin as a name. Would work with your surname too

Falaffels · 28/06/2018 20:51

Love Hugh, but I'm not sure it goes with your surname? It feels too much like one word.

So second choice is Ralph

A third DS could be Lewis.

Jenson or Three.
