These are the only 3 we like:
Dylan - Dyl
Cecil - Cec (Sess)
Sebatian - Seb

Why shorten them?

Not keen on any tbh.

I like Cecil, it's due a comeback. But why shorten it?! Cecil rolls of the tongue easily!

Dylan is nice too, but again why shorten to Dill?! Awful imo.

Sebastian is a little too frilly and long for me. And Seb feels soft and oily (sebaceous) while Basty is too similar to bastard.

Cecil is a caterpillar... I like it though!

Love Dylan and Sebastian ... NOT Cecil! And NN Sess also reminds me of a Sess pit

I really don't think you need to shorten Dylan or Cecil! Or certainly not to plan it ahead of time. Sess is just strange.

Dylan is a lovely name on its own.

None of your pre planned nicknames are nice - Dill, Sess or Seb?! Why are you so keen to shorten them, especially Dylan and Cecil?

My favourite is Cecil. Cool and classic.

My favourite is Cecil. I personally won't be shortening it but just wanted to put up the nicknames that are usually used
