How many Sebastians do you know?

Sebastian is one of my favourite boys names but I'm a bit concerned that it's become quite trendy/popular recently and will be one of those names with two/three plus at school.

How many baby/toddler Sebastians do you know?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Before we moved to the States, there were four in my 7-year old son's year at his old school (a small pre-prep), out of only 50 pupils. There were several other boys named Sebastian in other years.

There were also quite a few in the senior school that my 14-year old son was attending before the move.

Personally though, I know three; my nephew (3), my friend's son (5) and my BIL (29).

It's worth remembering though, that names can "trend" by area, and where we lived and where my sons went to school, Sebastian was very much "in fashion". In other areas, that won' be the case, so try to find out how popular the name is in your area, if it concerns you.

Zero. I know a Tian though.

TheSydenhamSet · 04/04/2014 22:02

Meglet · 04/04/2014 22:08

NoArmaniNoPunani · 04/04/2014 22:09

One, he's cute but his parents are bellends and have put me off the name

Petal7 · 04/04/2014 22:11

Wendydog · 04/04/2014 22:13

I know 3, although one is 35. The other two are 2 and 5 months.

CleverOl10 · 04/04/2014 22:13

2 - one aged 12 and one aged 2. I teach at an all boys school and still can only think of the one 12 year old and no others. May be more at a primary though.

Lovely name! I'm in east Scotland and know one in his 40's (South Coast of England), 4 in their 30's (France & Poland), one who is 3 (Scotland). It may be popular at the moment in some areas but not here! it's a classic.

BikeRunSki · 05/04/2014 00:06

5, 43

I know lots of 2ish year olds, no Sebastians amongst them.

Jellybean1234 · 06/04/2014 20:53

Of the 5 boy baby's born in our NCT group last year 3 of them (!) were called Sebastian!

Gullygirl · 07/04/2014 10:56

It's very popular here,I know 4 at my son's small school.
My nephew, age 6 is also a Sebastian.

mandbaby · 07/04/2014 14:54

We considered it for our DS2 and are now considering it as a middle name for DC3 if it's a boy.

I know one other - he's about 7 or 8. My sister teaches another who's about 15.

It's not overly popular, I don't think. At a guess I'd say it probably featured somewhere in the top 50 most popular names, but if you like it, go for it!

MannishBoy · 07/04/2014 14:55

DW's ex called his penis Sebastian...

BobaFetaCheese · 08/04/2014 04:54

ChippyMinton · 08/04/2014 06:08

HoneyandRum · 08/04/2014 07:37

I know one who is 10 but also hear the name out and about quite a lot, but I'm in Germany!

Orangeisthenewbanana · 08/04/2014 09:06

I know one with Sebastian as a middle name but haven't come across any others.
