Help
I am due to register my three weeks old son tomorrow and I still have not decided on a name. I have a three year old called finlay but as yet nothing concrete on baby two.
The shortlist is down to Tobias (toby), Sebastian and Julien.
Some friends think that sebastian is a bit of a mouthfull and maybe too posh!.Please has anyone got a preference as time is ticking whilst I am faffing about! !

I love Toby/Tobias - just lovely. Would be top of my list for a boy if it wasn't for our surname which makes it faintly ridiculous!

Tobias is good. So is Sebastian (it's far more ordinary and mainstream now) and Julien

My vote is for Sebastian but Tobias is a very nice name as well

Tobias is the nevernude who just blue himself on Arrested Development to me (American show, it's on Netflix).

Love Sebastian!

I prefer Sebastian as I'm not keen on Toby. I prefer Julian spelled this way.

SmugairleRoin · 01/09/2015 10:43

Sebastian is too popular imo (maybe that doesn't bother you though).
Tobias....eh....it's alright but Toby has always been a bit of a dog name to me.

I really like Julian, second choice probably Tobias.

SmugairleRoin · 01/09/2015 10:44

Although tbh op all of those are good names!

Sebastian is not posh. Its 38th in the 2014 ranking with just under 2000 babies given the name! I think Tobias is as posh, if not more so anyway.

Seb is a F1 driver.

Toby is a jug.

I know which one is cooler!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 01/09/2015 11:16

Sebastian.

Lunastarfish · 01/09/2015 17:08

Tough one - I really like both names. I'd personally go for Toby however Sebastian will probably be shortened to Seb. Do you like that? Seb and Fin

Great choices op! I like them all! Not helpful I know.

If I was forced to pick I think it would be Toby, Sebastian, Julien. I prefer Julien as a middle name. Congratulations! Flowers
