Not keen on Sebastian, but it’s better than Jack.

ILoveShula · 15/07/2021 09:29

Jack by far.
Sebastian is awful.

CoalCraft · 15/07/2021 09:08

Going against the grain, but I prefer Jack. Sebastian is a bit trendy and 'wet' imo, while Jack is strong and straightforward. Also really not that common as a name for new babies afaik

Alonelonelylonersbadidea · 15/07/2021 06:50

Sebastian definitely.
There's probably about 500 Jacks born in the UK every day! Minimum

@RumblyMumbly

Jack I always think Sebastard
This was the first thing my FIL said when we introduced him to his new grandson, Sebastian 🙄

Obviously I vote Sebastian, as I have one.

Jack. So many little Sebastians around here. I don’t know any Jacks under the age of 10 now.

Uramaki · 15/07/2021 06:15

Jack

Bentoforthehorde · 15/07/2021 06:12

Sebastian

My top 3 for DS2 were Sebastian, Felix and Josef (to go with German surname, ex is half German) in the end I called the names out in the back yard and went with the one that felt right.

romdowa · 15/07/2021 05:35

Jack simply because Sebastian will be shortened to seb and I hate shortened names.

Theoldwoman · 15/07/2021 05:26

Sebastian by a million per cent. Jack is such an old mans name.

MiddleEasternMummy · 15/07/2021 02:13

Sebastian

Seesawmummadaw · 15/07/2021 02:12

Sebastian is far nicer

Bellyups · 15/07/2021 02:10

Jack.
Sebastian literally makes me shudder

Marty13 · 15/07/2021 01:39

Sebastian, no question. Jack is dull and overused, every single action hero is John or Jack. So boring. Sebastian is a cool name.

Tavannach · 15/07/2021 01:29

It's a tough call. I like them both - I think I'd have to wait to meet him.

Tiari · 15/07/2021 01:27

Jack is very dull

Never heard of Jack the lad? Smile
