I like Dylan and Sebastian - both lovely.,

MollyHuaCha · 13/11/2019 21:47

Cecil/Sess - a bit too close to cess pit (sorry)

Expressedways · 13/11/2019 21:50

That a real mix of names!

Cecil is considered extinct- if you went with that then it would definitely be unique excluding very old men and the more popular girl variants like Cecilia or Cecily! Possibly it’s extinct for a reason though?! It would make a cracking name for a dog but I personally wouldn’t use it for a human. I don’t like Dylan so my pick would be Sebastian.

IFartGlitterAndRainbows · 13/11/2019 22:06

Dylan or Sebastian

Thetimetravelerswife · 13/11/2019 22:13

Sebastian!

Pippilangstrumpfi · 13/11/2019 22:22

What is with pre choosing nicknames, especially for simple names that don't need shortening.

Dill Hmm Really?!

Sess Shock Are you serious?!

Is this a joke?

Pippilangstrumpfi · 13/11/2019 22:23

But I like Dylan and Cecil!

I don't like Sebastian

Inthemoment38 · 13/11/2019 22:25

Seb or Dylan, not Cecil.

What about Percy or Albert/ Bertie?

Grufallosfriends · 13/11/2019 22:32

I really like Cecil (also love Cecily for a girl). Classic and strong. But I wouldn't shorten it.

Dylan is ok.

I'm not keen on Sebastian, don't like the Basty part, it reminds me of Bastard.

MrsNoMopp · 13/11/2019 23:39

I like Dylan best, then Sebastian. Dylan Sebastian Surname.

schafernaker · 13/11/2019 23:54

Dylan 😍

DramaAlpaca · 13/11/2019 23:56

Of the three, Dylan.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 14/11/2019 00:08

Ahh I just picture a sweet little baby Cecil

Love Sebastian as well

Dylan is for bad boys you fancy but are no good for you!Wink

MissHenty · 14/11/2019 08:54

Cecil I should like because I like old man names but it’s too harsh with too many S sounds it’s uncomfortable to both say and listen to

Dylan and Seb are fab names ❤️

KronksSpinachPuffs · 14/11/2019 08:55

Sebastian by a long way! Not keen on the other two personally!

MikeUniformMike · 14/11/2019 09:02

Dylan - Dyl - no, not unless your surname is Doe
Cecil - Cec (Sess)- no, not unless your surname is Pitt
Sebatian - Seb - Did you mean Sebastian? Not keen.

user1493494961 · 14/11/2019 09:06

Sebastian by a mile, please don't inflict Cecil on your lovely boy, it's nearly extinct for a reason.

FizzyGreenWater · 14/11/2019 09:17

Sebastian!

Don't call your child Cess Pit, please Grin

Royallyscrewed · 14/11/2019 09:22

I have an adult cousin named Dylan who has ended up with the nickname Dildo- had it since early high school.

Just throwing that in there.

SallyWD · 14/11/2019 10:48

Thethil ith a caterpillar, thethil is my friend

BonBon411 · 14/11/2019 13:59

My father’s name is Cecil.
Good name, but my son is Eli.
I don’t care for Dylan at all.
Sebastian is lovely.

PsychosonicCindy · 14/11/2019 14:00

I really like Dylan
Sebastian is ok dd2 has a friend called this known as Sebby quite cute.
Cecil would grow on me kind of like it but potentially nn could be silly rather than sess.
What about Cedric good strong name or Donovan rather than Dylan?
