I love Sebastian :)

Leo or maybe Leon. Then Arthur. I don't much like Sebastian, too long & flowery for me. I tend to prefer short, neat names.

Sebastian

Ellmau · 25/08/2019 23:46

Sebastian followed by Leo.

Charlesandfred · 25/08/2019 21:03

Sebastian. Definitely. Too many Leo's
Arthur is ok. Don't like Leon

Love Sebastian, Leo and Arthur are OK, Leon is awful.

Botherfreedays · 25/08/2019 20:56

Sebastian

trying29 · 25/08/2019 20:54

Sebastian - although I’m biased it’s my second sons name

Chitarra · 25/08/2019 20:53

Sebastian - love it.

MikeUniformMike · 25/08/2019 20:51

Leo

itssquidstella · 25/08/2019 19:52

Sebastian, followed by Arthur. Not so keen on Leo(n).

Herat1986 · 25/08/2019 19:36

Leon

twolobsters · 25/08/2019 19:36

Sebastian, I love it

Sebastian. Seb is a great nickname. Too many Leo’s (where I live) to use it. Don’t really like Leon. Don’t like old man names like Arthur or Stanley. Every time I hear Arthur I think of Arthur Fowler in EastEnders and flat caps. But I’ve yet to hear a name that is universally liked so pick whichever you like best!

Doyoumind · 25/08/2019 19:31

Leo.

Rainbowqueeen · 25/08/2019 19:29

Leo

PlatoAteMySnozcumber · 25/08/2019 19:27

Sebastian

Arthur

userabcname · 25/08/2019 19:21

Sebastian! Also love Leo.

Peachbubble · 25/08/2019 19:15

Leo or Arthur

Disfordarkchocolate · 25/08/2019 19:02

You don't need to be Spanish or have a Spanish name to use Leon @TeaLion. The name has a Greek origin and means lion. Fabulous name (I may have one Smile).

Militantmartha · 25/08/2019 18:55

Sebastian is lovely

AverageMummy · 25/08/2019 18:39

Leon isn’t nice
The other 3 are all lovely with Leo possibly being my favourite

Horehound · 25/08/2019 17:44

I just had an Arthur :) got loads of compliments

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 25/08/2019 17:37

Sebastian
