Middle names for Sebastian and Rafferty

[impatientlywaiting]

Hi all,

I am hoping for your help. I'm pregnant with a boy, only 23 weeks but now we know it's a boy our conversation usually comes around to names.

My DH and I can't agree on our favourite. His favourite is Sebastian, mine is Rafferty. I'm hoping that you can suggest some middle names which go well with either which might help us think which one we like better. Think we'll wait til he arrives and see what he looks like before we pick the name for definite, but thought it would be good to have some options.

Thanks

Surname will start with a D, rhymes with Robson.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I knew that Rafferty might have a bit of a marmite effect, but I still love it. I suppose the fact that it's only in the top 300 means it won't be for lots of people but I really like that it isn't going to be too common too.

However all if your suggestions are definitely increasing my love of Sebastian, so that's really good too.

I don't really see the point in a middle name for decoration only. Family traditions etc are understandable.

Sebastian Jay

Rafferty Owen
Rafferty Luke

Don't bring a child called Rafferty to Newcastle. With the recent vogue for naming kids after their places of conception, Rafferty's is one of Newcastle's more "characterful" pubs.

"Surname will start with a D, rhymes with Robson."

Dobson by any chance ?

Rafferty for me sounds like taffeta. Ridiculous and not very helpful!

something very short and plain, to set Rafferty off (Sebastian's OK but I hate Seb). One syllable. Can't actually think of anything off the top of my head!
