So DH and I cannot seem to agree on a name if this LO turns out to be a boy. He likes Sebastian and Zachary and I like Cameron and Campbell or Nathaniel. Middle name would either be James or Alexander for family reasons and out surname is short two syllables beginning with a C.
Would love to have opinions of these and of any other suggestions along similar lines would be appreciated. Also is Seb the only nickname possible for Sebastian? Really not keen on that.....

Thanks in advance!!

I'd go for Zachary Alexander, so his initials spell his nn.

I like Nathaniel too (with either mn).

Sebastian could have Bast/Basty as a nn. I don't think it's a name that shortens terribly well.

I like Cameron and Nathaniel.

Sorry, Sebastian is a bit insipid-sounding to my ears.

Would you consider Mackenzie (Mack)? Cool name, IMO

Also:

Evan
Fraser

Love Nathaniel with mn James.

Also like Zachary.

Sebastian is ok but dont like Cameron or Campbell.

Cameron as in David Cameron? I hate alliterative initials so your surname would rule it out.

I like Sebastian or Nathaniel, both nice either full length or shortened IMO.

I like the Evan suggestion.

I like Zachary. LOVE Issac nn Zac.

nn for Sebastian could also be Bastian (like the little boy from The Neverending Story.

Not keen on alliteration either.

I love Zachary, Sebastian, Nathaniel, James and Alexander!

Also like Leo and Dylan.

Thank you everyone. I love the name Evan.
Don't actually know if we are having a boy (34 weeks + 3) but we have the girls name
already decided. She will be Cordelia. Alliteration I know.....
DH had some really strange suggestions when it came to picking out a boys name and it has taken us AGES to even get to a short list. Thank you all for the input.
