Thoughts on this name...

[Starfish83]

I’m expecting a baby boy and I’m really loving the name Fabian. 😍 Any (kind) thoughts please? x

I like it. And his nn could be Fab 😃

Yes, it’s good.

Not to my taste but I've heard worse.

I like it! Unusual. Although the diminutives aren’t as nice as the full name.

I like it. I know a Fabian mainly gets called Fabes!

I like it

like it, he'll get called Fab though

I like it. The Fabian we know only gets Fabian.

Love it!

Its nice

I think there was a 50‘s pop star called Fabian . And a political group called the Fabian society.

Posh sounding socialist?

'a member or supporter of the Fabian Society, an organization of socialists aiming to achieve socialism by gradual rather than revolutionary means.'

Er, no.

It sounds like the posh socialist opposite of the posh Tory Sebastian. Not for me at all.

Fabian

Sorry, but I think it’s awful.

Congratulations on your DS though!

It's ok, I like the NN Fabes

Thanks very much for the opinions so far - quite a mixture it seems! x

Like it.

We have one in our extended family, he’s nearly 16 and it really suits him.

I like it, but people will assume your politics, so if you’re a rabid Tory, think again.

I wouldn’t assume your politics, I have no idea who this socialist is —uneducated—

I don’t mind it, it’s unusual but not weird which is what I tend to go for!

It’s not a person, @Odd, it’s the Fabian Society.

I like it.

I'm not so keen on it. I much prefer eg Felix for another F boy name.

I know a Fabian (and a Fabio!). Neither is known by any other version of their name. I don’t love it, but I think it’s fine!

Love it!
