Sebastian. Definitely. Too many Leo's
Arthur is ok. Don't like Leon

Ellmau · 25/08/2019 23:46

Sebastian followed by Leo.

Sophronia · 26/08/2019 00:06

Sebastian

DramaAlpaca · 26/08/2019 00:09

Leo or maybe Leon. Then Arthur. I don't much like Sebastian, too long & flowery for me. I tend to prefer short, neat names.

starkid · 26/08/2019 10:29

I love Sebastian :)

Arthur.

IsobelRae23 · 26/08/2019 11:14

Sebastian. Hate Leo, Leon to be is really dated as I know a lot in their 40’s along with Kevin’s etc. Arthur is a very old mans name, and I hate it on babies, it doesn’t suit them.

Live Sebastian.

Leo ok

Not a fan of Arthur

Actively dislike Leon

WinterHare · 26/08/2019 12:11

Arthur

MarshaBradyo · 26/08/2019 12:16

Sebastian - full name

Arthur too old maniac and dislike other two

MarshaBradyo · 26/08/2019 12:17

Out of two prefer Leo however

milliefiori · 26/08/2019 12:18

I like all except Leon. Not keen.

KatherineJaneway · 26/08/2019 12:20

Leo or Arthur.

diddlediddle · 26/08/2019 13:16

Arthur.

Sebastien is dreadful. Leo is very common. Leon is meh.

iemma321q · 26/08/2019 13:17

Sebastian definitely.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 26/08/2019 13:19

Sebastian, Leon is awful.

RunawayLove · 26/08/2019 13:23

Leo, it's what DD was going to be if she were a boy. Sebastian second choice - only so I can call him Bastian like from never ending story :)

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/08/2019 14:08

Leo

sklflknsflsdf · 26/08/2019 18:35

Leon (love!)
Leo (really nice but a bit too popular)
Sebastian (really nice but a bit too pompous)

Don't like Arthur

sklflknsflsdf · 26/08/2019 18:39

I'm trying to understand the post about not using Leon if you're not Spanish??

It's a greek name originally.
It's heavily associated with French people.
It's also historically common in England.

Bizarre comment.

I have a Sebastian so obviously biased. I like either Leo or Leon, but suspect leon will get nn leo anyway. Don't like Arthur.

Twolittlebears · 26/08/2019 19:57

I love Sebastian
