These are my top three names. Which do you like best to go with brother Noah? Other suggestions welcome but would prefer to avoid another biblical name x

Jack or Arthur

Seb sounds like it's short for sebaceous (oily). It's too soft and incomplete to be considered a name, especially a male name. Sebastian is nice, however. But unfortunately it doesn't shorten well (Basty? Seb?)

Bash is my favourite diminutive of Sebastian Grin

Bash?!

verb
1 strike hard and violently."they bashed him over the head with a blunt object"

I know what it means as a verb, thank you. It’s a pretty long-established form.

Jack isn’t a great option if that’s your approach: jack up a price, jack it in, jack off, carjacking...

I like Bash too.

Nick means to steal, doesn’t put people of Nicholas. Matt means dull/without shine.

Arthur or Jack

Violetlavenders · 13/04/2021 16:11

Jack, Matt and Nick are very well established names.

I have never met a Bash, so my main association is bash, a heavy blow. Maybe others don't have that association?

I know a Bash short for Bathsheba.

HarkAVagrant · 13/04/2021 16:14

I like all of them as long as Seb is short for Sebastian. Jack is my favourite, then Sebastian, then Arthur, but they are all great and names I would have considered for my DSs.

emmie841 · 13/04/2021 16:44

Thanks everyone for replies. It would be Sebastian but Seb for short if we went with that choice x

Arthur

Bimblybomeyelash · 14/04/2021 20:36

Arthur and Sebastian are the two most common boys names that know! I don’t know any little Jack’s. I think that they are all nice names.

Jack

Seb (but I'm biased 😉)
