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!

oh and DH previous dog was called Monty of all things...

Jensen/Jenson will become Jens.
I think Sebastian is 'not posh'.
Ralph - Raif or Ralf
Monty - nobby.
Hugh - like it a lot.

Definitely Hugh.

Sebastian is a bit ''oh come along, time for trumpet practice now Sebastian''. Not a fan.

Jensen is ok but sounds Jensen Button Stanish and I'm not sure if it's pronounced the Danish way or the English way.

Monty, is like a parody of a posh name, kind of Rumpole of the Bailey or a toddler.

Ralph, slang for puking.

Ralph immediately makes me think of Forever by Judy Blume (and if you’ve read it you’ll know why I could never call a baby Ralph!).

Hugh is my fave. Monty is cute for a baby but tough on a teenager. Jensen I’m not keen on.

toomuchhappyland same!! And my dad's called Ralph. Made for some very uncomfortable reading for me 😅 fwiw my dad has always hated his name 😬

I love Hugo.

Monty reminds me of a horrible character from 13 Reasons Why, but obviously this connection wouldn't last and is no reason not to use the name.

DH just thrown Xavier into the mix... what do you think?

If it’s pronounced properly ie Zaa vee ay, I like it.

Would you consider Hugo, it sounds very classy. It could be shortened to Hugh, but I do think that would be a shame.

I know twins named Blake and Sebastian, I really like those together.

Hugh or Ralph

Love Ralph (don’t pronounce it Rafe), Hugh is also very nice.

Not Xavier.
Not Sebastian.
Hugh is very cool (not Hugo)
I actually like Jenson but yes, it’ll become thrown into the Harrison-Jaxon-Maddison camp.

Theo(dore)?
Guy?
Julian?

I really, really like Hugh.

Surely you can't saddle a child with the name Guy?!

I feel like I live in a parallel universe when I read baby name threads on mn

Ralph and monty are both characters in the Simpson's

Also do you pronounce the Hiatch in hugh? would he be called Ugh by some people? sorry!

What do you think of "Austin"? Someone suggested it, I think it would go very wheel with your name and his db's name.

@OkPedro I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes at some of the names in these threads. I always imagine these children to be living in London, attending posh schools, and generally being very pretentious and annoying like their parents.

Ralph is the name given to a character's penis in the book Forever by Judy Blume.

Hugo, Hugh and Monty are pretentious names

I'm not even going there with Jensen but you've got from pretentious to chav in one quick step.

My advice is not to ask MN about names because you'll get so many split opinions and they won't necessarily help.

literary a penis named Ralph

I agree I wouldn't ask mn re baby names

If you like it, use it

Xavier is good and goes well. Julian is a good suggestion also and matches Sebastian.

Other suggestions-
Tobias
Maximilian (max)
Milo
Crispin
Rupert

I know a grown up Guy. Believe or not, he was a baby once.

I do like Julian but read somewhere about kids picking on the name for it being Julie and Ann.

What are everyones thoughts on Arthur? Does that go with Sebastian and our surname Wheeler?

I love the name Monty. My rabbit is called Monty (not trying to put you off at all) I love the name and it's not a rabbits name.

I love this name best from your list 😬

I LOVE Arthur. It's my sons middle name!

Love Arthur

And it definitely goes with your surname - it has the same flow as Arthur Fowler

I love Guy, Hugo or Austin.

Crispin is truly dreadful.

Arthur is lovely and can be shortened to Arty
