Please could I have some honest opinions on our boys list and any suggestions? Any standouts? It’s been really hard! I thought we liked one or two syllable names (surname is 3 syllables) but my current favourite is Sebastian (nn Seb)…

Sebastian
Lucas
Hugo
Caspar
Cormac

Thank you!

I like Lucas and Sebastian. Hugo sounds really posh and pretentious in my opinion.

Hugo
Lucas
Cormac

Sebastian is ok but Seb is awful imo. It sounds so unfinished and soft and reminds me of sebaceous (oily)

I only like Caspar!

Sebastian, love it, second choice, Casper

Sebastian - no
Lucas - ok
Hugo - nice but probably more popular than you think
Caspar - like but it'll get spelt Casper, not keen on Casper
Cormac - different

I'd pick Cormac because it seems fresh

Lucas - a name that suits all ages
(and "bringer of light" is a meaningful, apt description for a new baby!)

DaisyCornflowerBlue · 12/02/2023 11:47

Lucas.

FineThings · 12/02/2023 11:46

We have similar taste. I love Sebastian on your list followed by Lucas.
Other suggestions - Alexander, Joel, Jonah.
But I think you should go with Sebastian!

I think Sebastian is lovely. The others are nice too - the only one I’m a bit meh about is Caspar. Bit friendly ghost!
