Sibling name.... little brother to Sebastian

47 replies

Hello all!

I wonder if you could all help a little,
After a boy sibling name for Sebastian.

I really like Rueben but think it sounds a bit predictable for a sibling name to Sebastian.

So trying to think outside the box! Still something traditional and strong but more unique.

So far I love

Rueben
Julius
Quinton
Quillan

I like Alexander but hubby not into it or Felix!

Any of the above you prefer with Sebastian?

Thank you in advance xxx

Sebastian was our boy choice (we had a girl though). Alexander is lovely and would have been on our list if it weren’t for knowing lots of Alexanders already. We also considered Caspar, Atticus and Dominic. I would have used Gabriel but couldn’t convince DH who felt it was a lot of name to live up to!

Gabe is really nice

I really like Felix but hubby won’t entertain it.
Yes I do but husband still tends to call him
Sebastian.
I really like Quinn and Reu as nicknames alongside Seb which is why I tended to lean towards them. We also liked Gabriel, and I don’t mind Gabe. Thanks for all the suggestions 🥰 I’m not so keen on Quentin as I don’t like the quen sound, I prefer Quin, baby not due until March so a little while yet to decide xx

Austin

I automatically thought Felix. Do you shorten his name to Seb? I think I'd you do Seb and Lawrence is nice (Seb and Laurie)

Hamilton
Grayson
Hugo

Sorry Bruce not Bruno.

I do know a baby Bruno too

Monkeypeas · 24/11/2020 18:53

I met family with a Sebastian and baby brother called Bruno. I found that quite a surprising choice

IckleBear · 24/11/2020 13:26

I would have Augustus as the first name!

Evander
Matthias

longtompot · 24/11/2020 10:18

Benjamin popped into my head along with Sebastian.

Rosesaresweet · 24/11/2020 10:13

Seb and Quinn are great nicknames together!

Rosesaresweet · 24/11/2020 10:13

From your list I prefer Julius or Quinton.

However I like Julian and Quentin much more as names. I also like Dominic.

Ellmau · 23/11/2020 21:42

Rufus
Ruprt
Jasper
Maximilian
Ludovic
Raphael
Gabriel

florascotia2 · 23/11/2020 11:29

Lots of nice names suggested. If you're not too keen on Quentin,
what about Quintus, which is Latin for 'fifth' (the same meaning as Quentin) and was a well-known Roman name?

Nonamesavail · 23/11/2020 11:18

I dont think Sebastian is very posh so you could get away with a few of the boys names here. Miles sounds good.

Kenana · 23/11/2020 11:06

Gorgeous names OP

Julius is fab
So is Theodorus

Quinton is a suburb of Birmingham - it is kind of middle class dull suburbia so no bad associations and somewhat aspirational coming from say Ladywood Confused

Maybe you would also like:

Rubius (as in Hagrid from Harry Potter)
Rubik (yes it's that cube puzzle but it's a perfectly reasonable name)
Quercus (means oak, and feels stronger to me than Quillan, unless you have a Quillan in your family already)

Nell96 · 22/11/2020 23:40

Rueben - Reuben is lovely
Julius - not keen
Quinton - prefer Quinn
Quillan - nope

Miles?

CosyQueen · 22/11/2020 23:36

From your list Felix

tofuschnitzel · 22/11/2020 23:29

How do you pronounce Quillan? All I can come up with is "kill-an".

SpillingTheTea · 22/11/2020 23:29

I do like Reuben
Nico
Milo
Barnaby (Barney)
Felix

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 22/11/2020 23:27

Ooh I love the Xavier suggestion - has a slightly exotic sound like Sebastian does to me.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 22/11/2020 23:25

I love Alexander, but am not keen on your other choices. I agree with pp that Quentin, Benedict, Dominic and Laurence go well with Sebastian. I like Tobias, Maximilian and Nicholas with it too.
