Just that really Smile

I love both but am leaning slightly towards Oscar nn Ozzy. DH also loves both but has a slight preference for Sebastian nn Seb. Older brother is Thomas and middle names will be Robert John.

Bastian is much better than Sebastian.

I prefer Oscar! Very noble name!

My friends two babas are called Sebastian and Oscar. Sebastian is known as seb to all and oscar as Oscar chops or oz.

I love both and can't pick a prefers name but either or are wonderful xx

I hate both. Sorry

Sebastian definitely. I wasn't allowed it for my first son :( (although I adore his name) - I'm hoping if in the future my partner and I have another and if it is a boy then Sebastian would be at the very least discussable!

Much prefer Sebastian. Oscar's are everywhere and a very popular name in the Eastern European community. Plus of the 3 Oscar's I've taught in recent years, every one of them has been a pain in the butt. ;)

And Ozzy as a nm is pretty awful. Sorry.

Thomas and Sebastian. Oscar is EVERYWHERE right now...as someone said upthread. DS, 4, has 3 Oscars in his nursery class.

Sebastian is lovely

I cannot stand Sebastian. It is always used by very pretentious parents where I live.

Alita7 · 06/07/2014 16:55

Oscar 100%

Neither. Pretentious and twee.

Sebastian. But I'm a massive Brideshead fan and if I'd had a son he'd have been called Sebastian so I'm biased Smile

Sebastian.

But only because I'm not keen on the 'ozzy' shortening.
