Alistair - great but he'll get called Al/Ali. Some will misspell it or say Ali-stair
Emmett - awful
Sebastian - not a favourite, makes me think of sebum
Lachlan - great but will you say Lachlan (scottish ch) or Lacklan?

The only one I vaguely like is Sebastian.

Think Alistair and Emmett sound weak and Lachlan sounds chavvy.

Emmett is Cornish for ant. Cornwall has emmets not grockles
Sebastian is overdone.

Love Alistair and really love Lachlan.

Love Alistair
Like Lachlan
Not keen on Emmett or Sebastian
