So boy first name options have narrowed down to Sebastian, Leon, or Arthur. Which is best?

Also middle name options:
Jonas, Paul, or Elias?

Sebastian by far. It’s lovely.
Jonas I like too.
Leon, not so much, but that’s only my opinion

Ah another thing our surname starts with A so I guess we could end up with initials SPA or SEA. Would that also steer you more towards Jonas for a middle?

Arthur Jonas sounds very atmospheric, like that combo alot.Smile

All gorgeous, but very different?!

If you're English, Sebastian sounds very different to Leon...

But if you're French? Less so!

Where are you based?

Ooh Sebastian every time. Lovely name.

Tiramisu1 · 07/04/2019 18:32

I like Leon! Cool, strong and underused.

Sebastian is quite long and Seb/Sebbie/Basty are awful imo.

Arthur is ok.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 07/04/2019 18:33

Sebastian is my favourite by a long way!

I have to say none of your middle names are my cup of tea. Out of your middle names Paul is my least favourite but I do think it flows the best with sebastian compared to the other options.

Sebastian! Lovely name. I'd go Sebastian Elias.

Sebastian paul or Sebastian Leon.

Sebastian is lovely. Leon is a 'naughty boy' name. Arthur is ugly.

Didyeeaye · 07/04/2019 21:04

Sebastian is my favourite. Arthur is also lovely but very popular now x

In truth I would go for Arthur out of those choices - but up to you and hope all goes well Flowers
