What do you think of Fabian?

[HopeandFlory]

What do you think of the name Fabian? I like that it is not popular but still has a classic feel to it

Pretentious

Lovely name, I agree it's not too popular but feels classic and is easy to spell/say etc

I also quite like Dorian

Really quite dreadful.

I don’t like it but I can’t quite put my finger on why not.

Needy parents. Also Dorian.

Like they want us to think that they are Intelligent, but it is too needy.

I would have said a bit much but then I met one and it’s fine.

American teen idol from the 50s.

I love the name, also adore Ettiene.

Makes me think of a villain

It's a socialist organisation so whilst I like the name I certainly wouldn't use it.

Beans

upper class English.

Poncey

I love it and not just because the one I know was rather gorgeous and lovely

i like it but you should hear my sons' names

@MerryDeath I do too, despite the more negative comments I'd love to hear the names you chose if you're prepared to share?

Sounds like a stripper or a character in an erotic novel

Sorry OP, reminds me of Bruce Willis saying Fabienne in pulp fiction in that annoying voice

Ah well my ds is 25 but were I having another one:

Merlin
Gawain
Tristan
Magnus

Kasian

Love it. My son's uni friend was called Fabian. His other two friends were called Rameses and Ptolemy. They graduated in 2016.

We kinda wished we'd called DS Isambard after DH's engineering hero but we just weren't brave enough.

Love it

I like it but prefer the German pronunciation. Not so keen on “fay-bee-an”

Appalling.
