Sibling for Sebastian

[freelancegirl]

Just that, really. I'm 28 weeks with dc2 and just thinking, help, we will need a name soon! Previous favourites (for dc1 who turned out to be Sebastian)included jasmine, jemima, Elliot and Nathaniel but gone off those a bit now having too long to think about it.

The only Sebastian I know has a brother called Oliver and a sister called Emily.

Probably no help, but the two little Sebastians I know, one has a brother called Robin and the other has a sister called Alexandra. I know a Sebastian my age, and he has two sisters called Emma and Adele.

I think Elliot goes quite well for a boy. Do you call your DS1 Seb or Sebastian? (or another NN.) If you don't like nicknames Sebastian and Nathaniel may become a bit of a mouthful...

Sebastian was on our list along with Elliot, Laurence, Edward, Benjamin, Clara (DD), Lucia, Eloise and Jemima.

I've got Sebastian and Oliver, but if I'd really had my way Oliver would have been Rafe/Rafael, Hugo or in one hormonal moment, August Orion.

Girl options were Jemima, Tabitha, Pandora, Antigone, Juno or Flora.

Oh I opened the thread to suggest Elliot but u see youve gone off that.

So Ill say Rupert, Lawrence, for boys and Olive and Hannah for girls.

Belle

Lovely name.

Like philippa , Florence, Catherine, Louise , Alexandra, . I also like Cordelia but that would be far too Waugh. Frances or Francesca? Georgina?

Jonathan, William, robin?

Laurence Monty Orlando Josephine, Clementine, Violet, Edward (nn Ned)

Hugo,

I look after siblings sebastian and william
My cousins are sebastian, grace and james

How about:

Boys - Theo, Xavier, Henry,

Girls - Annabelle, Arabella, Amelie, Esther, Esme, Sadie

We have a Sebastian too and saved Leo in case DC2 was a boy. She is a girl!

Boys: Conrad or Laurence
Girls: Constance or Felicity

I know a Sebastian with a brother called Artur (not Arthur). Artur is older, though.

Sebastian is a gorgeous name.
James/Laurence/Tobias/Samuel
Alice/Emily/Eleanor/Grace

Ooh thanks so far. Most of these are on my imaginary list anyway so we are all probably along the same lines. I don't think I've quite ruled out the original short list - including Elliot - but yes Nathaniel might be a mouthful and I don't really like any of the nicknames for it. We don't really yet call Sebastian anything for short although I am sure we will and others will a some point. I do love names ending in belle and it's only been this evening (duh!) when I've realised I can't have Belle :)

Please do keep 'me coming. It's so hard trying to find a name you really love isn't it!

Oh I love Laurence but it's the name of a prominent ex so I can't put that on Dh...

I have a friend with a Sebastian and a Luca. Love both their names!

Luca is fab but I just don't know if we can get away with it with no Italian connections. I do have Spanish connections, another reason why Sebastian works well as it works well in Spanish too.

Oliver seems the obvious choice but I would avoid due to its huge popularity. I think Gabriel sounds nice and not overused.

Gabriel is lovely but we have one in close friendship circle. And yes I love Oliver but a bit too popular for me at the moment. Do love it though, and Ollie.
