Brother to Sebastian - Ralph, Monty, Jenson or Hugh?

[Almondbiscotti]

Which of these do you prefer and which work with Sebastian?

Our surname is Wheeler.

Thanks!

Jenson or Three.

A third DS could be Lewis.

Love Hugh, but I'm not sure it goes with your surname? It feels too much like one word.

So second choice is Ralph

Jenson..i also love Austin as a name. Would work with your surname too

I have a Sebastian. It’s quite a pretentious sounding name so I think you’ve got to go with something that doesn’t sound too posh (unless this is what you’re going for).

Ralph or Hugh. I prefer Ralph.

Rafe.

Don’t like Jensen. Others are fine. Maybe Montgomery -nn Monty?

Would also love to hear what you associate with these names too?

I get worried Ralph sounds a lot like Rolf (Harris).

Jenson I think may not last and will be like Jaxson/Harvey/Maddison and other names like that.

Hugh - I take your point Falaffels. My DH also worries with Hugh that kids will pick on DS because it sounds more like a sound than a name.

Monty - my DH and I cant agree on the long derivative of the name - I cant stop thinking of Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons so I would prefer Montague. Any thoughts?

I have a Sebastian. It’s quite a pretentious sounding name

Wtaf.

Hugh by far and it goes with Sebastian the best.

I like Monty best but would put Montague or Montgomery on the birth certificate.

Ralph and Hugh are quite nice.

I don't think Jenson really goes with Sebastian.

What about Hugo, if you're not sure about Hugh?

Ralph. Great name.

Jensen sounds chavvy and doesn't match Sebastian.

Hugh I like only if it's short for Hugo.

Monty is far too public school.

Not Jenson/Jensen.

Hugh or Hugo tbh.

To me, Monty sounds pretentious, and as you said, Jenson a bit 'of the minute', and Ralph sounds like someone puking / Rolf harris.

How about Anthony? I think it goes well with Sebastian and your surname.

Ralph - very wet sounding imo

Monty - not against it, but would use a full name on the BC. I think I'd lean towards Montague if the Mr Burns association is too much, though I prefer Montgomery .

Jenson - I like this a lot, but I see what you mean re:faddiness.

Hugh - absolute no, horrible name imo.

I think I'd go for Jenson, second choice Monty.

I have a Ralph (and currently thinking up names for DS2 due in August!) and nobody has ever had anything but nice things to say about his name We also haven't met another one (yet!) on the baby/toddler group/nursery circuit.

Jensen I agree will date and is a lot more 'current' than your other options. Hugo sounds better with your surname than Hugh I think. Monty is nice but I think needs a fuller name with Monty as NN.

Is it Ralph or Rafe as the latter is so much nicer.

My 6 month old DS is Jenson and I love the name obviously but I think Hugh goes with Sebastian the bestx

Monty is a dog.

Hugh!

Hugo?

DH thinks Hugo sounds too pretentious yet likes Monty.

Ralph - there is also the whole Rafe vs Ralf pronunciation conundrum but this was our favourite for a while.

@cadencia don't like the nickname Tony for Anthony.

Currently swaying between Hugo for Hugh and Monty with a longer version of the name but with no idea which!
