Love both names please help me choose.
Would be Sebastian on birth certificate but would go by Seb.

Thanks

sebastian is ok but I hate Seb

Jellos · 01/06/2023 22:36

Neither but I’d go for Gabe if I had to choose. I do like Sebastian but don’t like Seb!

Gabriel - Gabe

I always think Seb is a bit of a dick (unfair I kno)

JimJamJo · 31/05/2023 22:21

Gabriel

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 31/05/2023 21:05

These were both on my boys list! I felt Sebastian was getting a little bit too popular and my partner thought ppl may pronounce Gabriel Gabrielle 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'll go with Sebastian. Interested to know if you have any other boy names though for inspo!

DuchessOfSausage · 31/05/2023 14:29

Don't like either of them.

sawandnotseen · 31/05/2023 08:51

Congratulations!
I love both names and have a friend with twins named them, they're 22 now, known as Seb and Gabe.
But, I have a male gay friend (50s) called Gabriel and he doesn't like it being shortened to 'Gay' as many people do.

HoldingTheDoor · 31/05/2023 08:11

Gabriel. I love Sebastian but Seb is awful.

drpet49 · 31/05/2023 07:51

HansInep · 31/05/2023 07:29

Gabriel. I think it’s such a handsome name.
I like Sebastian but really dislike Seb.
