I think Sebastian/Seb is my favourite from your list. Smile

Nate

DramaAlpaca · 11/11/2020 22:29

My favourite is Nathaniel/Nate.

SirVixofVixHall · 11/11/2020 22:30

Sebastian/Seb with Peter works best I think.

emilybrontescorsett · 11/11/2020 22:30

Nathaniel

Feministicon · 11/11/2020 22:33

I like them all apart from Rafe, unless you are very posh 😁

AlwaysLatte · 11/11/2020 22:33

Nathaniel but I'd choose Nat.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 11/11/2020 22:34

My favourite is Rafferty, but I think Nathaniel goes better with Peter.

Isabelle99 · 11/11/2020 22:34

Sebastian

alexdgr8 · 11/11/2020 22:35

either Sebastian or Nathaniel

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 11/11/2020 22:38

We aren’t very posh. We liked the movie Pearl harbour Blush

I really like all your options.
I would go with Sebastian personally but you really can't go wrong with any of them.

MercyBodle · 11/11/2020 22:55

I like all of your names. Rafe is my favourite, with Rafferty 2nd choice.

Happymum12345 · 11/11/2020 23:04

I always thought Rafe wax a posh name but I’ve recently been informed it’s not. Seb is my favourite name.

user1493494961 · 12/11/2020 11:03

Nathaniel.

Peachbubble · 12/11/2020 11:27

Rafferty

Nathaniel

SaffieSoph · 12/11/2020 11:36

Raff or Rafe are the best!

MikeUniformMike · 12/11/2020 11:39

Nathaniel Nate - not keen
Sebastian Seb - don't like
Rafferty Raff - don't like
Rafe - not keen
Middle name is Peter - much nicer than the first names

MikeUniformMike · 12/11/2020 11:39

Of the first names Nathaniel is the best.

NameChange84 · 12/11/2020 11:41

Nathaniel

I really don’t like Raff.

Standrewsschool · 12/11/2020 11:43

Nathaniel is my favourite

Woui · 12/11/2020 11:53

Nate

Nathaniel (Nate) - no question for me. It's lovely, the most classic of your choices (and so least likely to date), and goes well with Peter. Sebastian is okay (perhaps a little frilly?), but Rafferty is quite trendy and Rafe will have spelling issues (and some people will see it as very upper class).
