I’m in Scotland, if that makes any difference.

I don't like Sebastian. Seb makes me think of Sebum.

MrsBungle · 13/09/2019 16:38

Torin is lovely. I’m not keen on Sebastian. I find it quite ‘wet’

Frouby · 13/09/2019 16:35

I have a Sebastian. It's an awesome name, though he is a bit naughty like a pp said. Only ever met 1 other, he was naughty too.

But I love Torin as well.

AverageMummy · 11/09/2019 18:02

Both are lovely although very different
I think I’d vote Sebastian

Sophronia · 10/09/2019 01:12

Torin

Torin. Awesome name

Lavenderblues · 08/09/2019 20:20

Torin is a cool name! It won't need shortening but if it does, it'll be Tor.

I don't like Sebastian and dislike Sebbie, Seb, Bastie.

Another vote for Torin - lovely and much more unusual than Sebastian.

MissHenty · 08/09/2019 08:50

Torin will become “Tori”, depends on your voting preferences I suppose but I’d HATE that 🤣

Also sounds too similar to “Torid”

MissHenty · 08/09/2019 08:49

Seb- gorgeous

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 08/09/2019 08:28

Torin

tommycockles · 08/09/2019 08:09

All the Sebastians I know are naughty.

Peachbubble · 08/09/2019 07:40

I vote for Torin

ABitOTT · 08/09/2019 07:14

Another vote for Torin although I love the name Sebastian too

CampfireZen · 08/09/2019 06:46

Ooh, I like Torin very much Smile

CakeRattleandRoll · 08/09/2019 05:58

Love Torin.

Shadow1234 · 08/09/2019 05:12

Torin

30not13 · 08/09/2019 00:14

I know a Toran in Scotland

Lavenderblues · 07/09/2019 22:47

Torin sounds strong and is easy to say!

Lavenderblues · 07/09/2019 22:46

Sebastian is nice but the problem is that it's quite long. And the short forms are awful - Seb, Sebbie, Bas, Basty?! So soft and weak.

MissHenty · 07/09/2019 22:06

Sebastian is a gorgeous name

Google says the meaning is ‘chief’ or ‘from the craggy hills’.

Torin sounds great. Do you know the meaning OP?
Will sound especially nice with the soft Scottish rrrrrs

bigmap · 07/09/2019 21:32

I've never heard the name Torin before but I think it's fantastic. Sebastian is nice but only in its entirety, all the shortened versions are awful

Lavenderblues · 07/09/2019 21:23

Torin

Sebastian is ok but quite long. I'm not keen on Seb
