sebastian - marcus - luke

[herhonesty]

right. down to the wire. due weds. DH will only consider the names listed above. i dont actually like any of them but sick of arguing. which would you go with. please dont come up with alternatives, i have already given a list of 30 names i like of which he will not consider any!

Marcus and Luke always sound a bit limp wristed to me.

Sebastian it has to be! And Seb is a good nickname. Good luck, hope he comes soon and doesn't keep you hanging on for ages ...

I prefer Lucas to Luke. If I had to pick one of your list I'd probably go with Sebastian.

All three are perfectly fine though.

Unless your surname is Coe, obviously.

Sebastian x

Quite like all of them.
Probably would go for Marcus or Sebastian as slightly fewer around.

Sebastian :)

Definately Sebastian from your very short list. I think it's a lovely name and Seb is a cute nn too.

I prefer Sebastian out of those but dislike the nn Seb

"i dont actually like any of them but sick of arguing"

Please don't give up - you really need to find a name YOU and YOUR DH likes!

Personally I don't the nicknames for Sebastian - Seb/Sebby/Basty - so would choose Marcus.

Oerrr, sounds like your husband is a bit poncy with names.

Yes I also want to add, I have a friend that named her son something she didn't like but her OH insisted on and she can't still bring herself to say it 6 months later she still just calls him baby.

Tell your OH this could affect your ability to bond with your baby, it's important you find a name you both like.

If he's like this over the name what else won't he let you do??

'Marcus and Luke always sound a bit limp wristed to me'

What the actual Jeff?

I love Sebastian/Seb.

Marcus is the best one. He can be Marc if he prefers it.

Sebastian is a bit too limpwristed Brideshead for me, and Luke always makes me think of liver fluke, which is a nasty disease that farm animals get.

Ok, seriously, limp wristed is ok to use? As in, 'those names will make your baby sound gay'?

Who said anything about gay?

What else is limp wristed supposed to imply?

Camp? And straight men can be very camp.

Come now Kitten, everyone knows what's implied with the homophobic term limp-wristed!

What is YOUR definition of it?

Why do you think gay people are limp-wristed, EduCated?

To me it suggests someone a bit feeble, perhaps a bit effeminate - which is NOT the same as gay. Bit of a weedy little wanker who gets sand kicked in his face.

Which distracted me from my original contribution which was that I like Marcus the best for reasons in no way related to an exremely good looking German guy I used to know by that name It was spelled with a K not a C, which I thought made it look cooler.

What names do YOU like OP?

Love Sebastian!!!

I don't think gay people are limp wristed. I do think limp wristed is a vile, outdated homophobic term used to refer to gay people.
