opinions please. Other DC are Henry and Joseph.
I think I like it but keep singing "the singing aubergine" after saying it.

Are you intending to spell it as in the thread title?

If you spell it properly, I think it's a nice name, yes.

oops. Yes, Sebastian! ( Better not do that on the birth certificate)

I like it and it goes nicely with the other two names.

Sebastian is nice but unfortunately it has no nice nicknames - Seb, Sebbie, Sebba, Basty, Bastian...? Seb reminds me of sebacious and doesn't sound 'solid' enough imo.

How about Tristan, Caspian or Quentin - all have a similar feel to Sebastian but aren't inevitably shortened.

Agree about the lack of nice nicknames. Otherwise a nice name.

I'm going against the grain here in that I dislike Sebastian but like Seb and Sebby.

I really like the name Sebastian. If DD1 had been a boy, it was on my shortlist. However, when I mentioned it to friends (and even my DH) literally EVERYONE said it was a 'gay' - as in homosexual - name for a boy.

I don't bloody know what a 'gay' name is, anyway ...

Two of the names you mention in your op/threadtitle are DS's first name & one of his middle names...the other is the other name we were thinking of!

You have bloody excellent taste.

I like it, and I like Seb too.

Sounding all very positive! Thanks everyone. Might well be a little singing aubergine then.

I like it a lot. It is a shame about the lack of nick names though, I agree.

Would you get him a teddy bear called Aloysius?

By the way, you are going to HAVE to explain this singing aubergine malarkey! What are you on about, woman?!

Badgerina, Sebastian is a singing aubergine in Mr.Bloom's Nursery.
Thanks, OP; I now have that tune in my head! :)

My DS is Sebastian. Love it and we always get a lot of compliments on 'what a lovely name' it is.

We have a little singing aubergine. And Sebby is his nickname. It's a fab name, go for it!

Love Sebastian. So manly.

I love it. Unfortunately DH hates it and it is his brother's middle name (I really don't think we can start worrying about other people's middle names?!) so he has vetoed. Gutted.

Shame about the lack of nicknames. I agree that Seb sounds like sebacious (oily) and Basty too much like bastard....

I really liked this name until one time at a pub, there was a woman doing really loud, show-off parenting at the next table:

Sebastian, eat up Sebastian
That's a fork Sebastian, what is it? That's right Sebastian, a fork.
Look at mummy eating all her peas, Sebastian. Isn't mummy clever, Sebastian?
Sebastian, don't do that or Sebastian will get a poorly tummy.
Shall we change your nappy, Sebastian? Has Sebastian done a little poo.

I nearly swung for bleddy Sebastian in the end. Or his mum anyway.

I like it. It goes well with your other two names.
