Boy name starting with S

My best friend is very early in her pregnancy and I committed THE cardinal sin!! I showed her a post here where a person was talking about calling a kid named Sebastian “Sea Bass Stain.” She started crying and told me that’s what she wanted to name her baby if it’s a boy…. Help me kindly make new suggestions. She wants it to start with an S… she doesn’t believe me saying Sebastian is a great name, and no normal person would call him “Sea Bass.”

You clearly misjudged your friend's reaction. The only Sebastian I've met irl life was French and a lovely young man.

Simon? Steven? Sam? Shane … it’s actually a very difficult letter!!!

Sebastian is a lovely name and I’ve never heard it shortened to Sea Bass.
What about Samuel?

St.John pronounced Sinjun.
This is exactly why you should never discuss names when you’re pregnant.
