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

Seb does sound like sebaceous. Don't like it at all.

Torin is definitely more popular where I am (Scotland), but I dislike Seb.

I really like Torin, it's a lovely name in full and as pp have said Tor is a great nn

Grufallosfriends · 07/09/2019 21:00

Sebastian is too long and fussy sounding, whereas the short forms are too soft eg Seb, Basty.

Torin is a strong classic name! Love it.

I like both but if you’re torn I’d go with Torin - although autocorrect hates it - because Tor is a really cool and very unusual nn.

Torin is great.

Sebastian is very Brideshead.

Sebastian for me - very handsome.

Sebastian/Seb ❤️

Torin! Great name.

I dislike Sebastian especially the short forms Seb, Sebby, Basty - reminds me of oily (sebaceous)

Torin is very nice - but it just tried to autocorrect to Torino Grin

I'm not a fan of Sebastian, it's too long & fussy for me. I like Seb, though.
