Alexander, Sebastian or Henry?

[Babybell7]

My DH and I really can't decide which one we like the best, our favourites change daily. So opinions would be appreciated. Please keep them helpful though, rather than just "I hate them" as we will be choosing one of these names.
How do you picture children/men with these names? Do they sound strong, smart?

Alexander
Sebastian
Henry

Middle name will be Ridley or possibly Rupert Ridley if it sounds better with two middle names. Surname is one syllable.

Thank you.

I really like them all, but my favourite is definitely Sebastian.

Sebastian or Alexander.

Not a fan of Henry.

I like them all. See what baby looks like ahd what suits him best.

Maybe think which nn would be likely for each?

Sebastian definitely!

Sebastian.

Alexander is absolutely lovely. Cute for a boy, strong for a man.

Sebastian is great too but rather posh for my Scottish sensibilities. A shame as otherwise I might have used it.

Henry is not for me.

Alexander or Sebastian - I love Henry but I think the -ry ending sounds too alliterative with your surname. The other two sound great and go really well.

Sorry, I meant middle name, not surname!

I have a Henry I've always adored the name!

Sebastian is nice Seb is a cool nickname.

Alexander is ok but meh but it's very popular where I am.

I like Sebastian best. Lots of Henrys around here.

They are all good, strong 'proper' names. I prefer Henry or Sebastian, but only because I went to school with lots of Alexanders, and struggle to separate the name from the spotty boys I once knew!

Henry doesn't seem to get shortened, but Sebastian is likely to get shortened to Seb unless you make a big deal about it, so it depends how you feel about Seb?

Sebastian sounds a bit wet in my opinion. I like Alexander and Henry but with the middle names I think Alexander sounds better.

Sebastian. It's more interesting than the other two.

Sebastian by a very long way.

Sebastian Rupert sounds nice.

We have a Sebastian and just love it. He is strong, determined and it suits him beautifully.

He gets a mixture of Sebastian, Seb and Sebbie at home. He's currently only 4 so we'll see which he prefers us using when older!

Most people do use his full name though I would say (family aside)

It sounded out nicely when he was learning to spell it too. It splits nicely into 3 x 3 groups of phonics and I think this helped him learn it quickly!

Henry.

I love the name Sebastian. All of your name choices are lovely but Sebastian is my fave. 💙

They're all lovely but I would probably go with Sebastian at a push as Henry is a little bit "of the moment" - obviously a classic but definitely experiencing a revival over the past few years...Alexander is probably the "safest" but maybe that means it's a bit boring..

Good luck with whichever name you choose!

Alexander or Henry, not keen on Sebastian

Alexander. I don't think Henry goes that well with Ridley and I'm not keen on Seb, which Sebastian would inevitably get shortened to.

I don't like Henry at all. SOOO boring.

Sebastian is really cool and not too common either.

Alexander I like a lot too, but I'm not a big fan of its inevitable nicknames.

So for me, it has to be Sebastian.
