Leo by miles! Love it.
Don’t like Leon
Sebastian is poncey
Arthur is 2nd fave

Leo or Sebastian x

Arthur - don't like (can't stand old man names)
Sebastian - like (but it's rather posh)
Leo - like
Leon - mixed feelings. If you have Spanish heritage - great - otherwise not so great.

A wonderful name, I like the rest but Leo just sounds like it's missing and n to me.

No Spanish heritage, DH just really likes the sound of Leon because he has an obsession with lions and would do lion walks in South Africa. With an English surname, would it sound out of place?

Sebastian

I just had an Arthur :) got loads of compliments

AverageMummy · 25/08/2019 18:39

Leon isn’t nice
The other 3 are all lovely with Leo possibly being my favourite

Militantmartha · 25/08/2019 18:55

Sebastian is lovely

Disfordarkchocolate · 25/08/2019 19:02

You don't need to be Spanish or have a Spanish name to use Leon @TeaLion. The name has a Greek origin and means lion. Fabulous name (I may have one Smile).

Leo or Arthur

Leo.

Sebastian. Seb is a great nickname. Too many Leo’s (where I live) to use it. Don’t really like Leon. Don’t like old man names like Arthur or Stanley. Every time I hear Arthur I think of Arthur Fowler in EastEnders and flat caps. But I’ve yet to hear a name that is universally liked so pick whichever you like best!

twolobsters · 25/08/2019 19:36

Sebastian, I love it

Herat1986 · 25/08/2019 19:36

Leon

itssquidstella · 25/08/2019 19:52

Sebastian, followed by Arthur. Not so keen on Leo(n).

MikeUniformMike · 25/08/2019 20:51

Leo

Chitarra · 25/08/2019 20:53

Sebastian - love it.

trying29 · 25/08/2019 20:54

Sebastian - although I’m biased it’s my second sons name

Botherfreedays · 25/08/2019 20:56

Sebastian
