Not sure I love my baby's name anymore

We called our baby Sebastian.

I felt a little rushed as after a week everyone was badgering us for a name. I really loved it at the time but as times gone on it feels really odd to say his name. Every time I say it it just doesn't feel right. It's too late to change it and he responds to his name.

Will he grow into his name?

Any positive comments on the name Sebastian to help me love it once again?

(Please don't make me sad with negative comments)

I love it but it doesn’t go with our surname. I found my daughters name very weird for ages but now that’s just her and I wouldn’t change it for the world so I promise you will get used to it.

Sebastian is lovely.

Seb.
Sebi.
Bastian. (Just like Bastian Balthazar Bux from the Neverending Story, which is gorgeous)

It's lovely OP Smile

I love it.

Completely agree with @Sexnotgender about it being very classic, and not over used.

I love it.
Taught the most delightful Sebastian once who went by Sebi.

I love Sebastian, classic but not super common.

Hope you grow to love it. I found it took a while to get used to my children’s names when they were born, it’s all a bit surreal I think!

I’m not keen on it but that’s irrelevant really. Kids grow into their names- I’m sure Sebastian will do the same

How old is he?

I actually love Sebastian
