Harry.

Sebastian. Like a PP, Harry is everyone's name at the moment.

Harry

Sebastian. I taught a really great Sebastian who went by Seb but I could give him the full name if he wasn’t doing the right thing. Loved him.

Much prefer Sebastian. I don't get why people think it's posh, it's just a mainstream name to me. I know a few (I know more Harry's) but none of the families are posh

Sebastian, Harry seems really soft in comparison.

Sebastian by a mile love both Seb and Bastain

Sebastian

Harry!
Sebastian is definitely a naughty boy name

Iwantcauliflowercheese · 21/04/2021 10:32

Sebastian. Harry is such a dull and overused name.

emmathedilemma · 21/04/2021 10:35

Harry

parsnipsnotsprouts · 21/04/2021 10:37

Sebastian. I know a lovely little bit of that name. He’s called Sebby for short. Harry too common

parsnipsnotsprouts · 21/04/2021 10:38

Little boy!

Sebastian, Harry's are everywhere.

HorridHamble · 21/04/2021 10:59

Sebastian. Harry is a popular name for good reason. However, I only know of one Seb and love his name. He was always Sebastian until he decided he likes his friends to call him Seb at age 8. Not sure why some people consider it a “posh” name.

RuthW · 21/04/2021 12:19

Sebastian. So much nicer than boring Harry.

YellowTwinklyStar · 21/04/2021 12:50

Harry. I hate Sebastian

Violetlavenders · 21/04/2021 14:33

Harry (although very overused and a little dull)

I dislike Sebastian as i hear 'Bastard' and I dislike the Seb part as it reminds me of sebaceous or oily.

Violetlavenders · 21/04/2021 14:37

Not sure why some people consider it a “posh” name.

Seems to be a British obsession. Lots of names are described as posh on here eg Hugo, Quentin, Sebastian, Geneviève, Arabella etc. Personally I don't understand how a name can be posh. A person, yes, but a name?!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 21/04/2021 15:18

If I can't sway you on lovely classic Henry (as I find Harry as a given name a bit dull/popular) then I'd pick Sebastian. But I think you need to like the nn Seb as it's very likely to be shortened.

Sebastian, hate Harry

Happycat1212 · 21/04/2021 17:09

Harry, hate Sebastian
