Sebastian or

[pastabakeee]

Sebastian
Persimmon nn Persie
Rory
Roland nn Rolly
Riley
Thyme

Is Perisimmon really a consideration??

Noooo. Although Thyme is possibly worse. Everyone would just think Time, he’ll be teased mercilessly.

Sebastian (biased as we’ve chosen that too) or Riley or Rory are ok but you’ve lost your heads with the other two.

Sebastian is the only one I'd pick.

Rory is nice but I would only use it if I had a red haired boy as it means "red king" in Irish (appreciate you're not using the Irish spelling). I'd also worry if my child had trouble pronouncing their Rs.

Sebastian is really lovely.
I love Rory too.
The rest, no.

(Thyme... are you serious? 🤣)

That’s quite a mixed bag of names you have there! Honestly I’d only consider Rory or Sebastian, a strong No to all the others from me.

Sebastian and Rory are great.
I much prefer the Italian version of Roland - Orlando.

Persimmon, Riley and Thyme should be binned forthwith.

Of those I'd choose Sebastian with Rory as runner up, and Roland is OK too

I don't much like surname names, which rules out Riley for me.

Persimmon and Thyme sound like the sort of thing that people come up with when full of pregnancy hormones, and are later glad we're vetoed. I think there was a whole thread on Persimmon - I'll see if I can find it

Rory is the only one I'd consider.

I really dislike Sebastian especially Seb or Basty.

The only name I'd pick from your list is Rory.

Are you... on the sauce?!?!

Sebastian is great, Rory is great but v popular, Roland is OK

Riley is spectacularly downmarket and the other two are epic level bonkers.

Definitely Persimmon. Middle name kumquat.

Sebastian is one of my favourites! I also like Rory.

Rory. All the others are non-starters IMO.

Sebastian is nice but there is a lot of them around at the moment (and they all seem to be friends with my DS!) Other than that Riley is lovely.

PLEASE choose Sebastian or Rory and knock the others off the list, never to be considered again! The others are insane except Riley which is just a bit... Chavvy. Sorry. I know we aren't supposed to say that but I can't think of another way to express it.

Rory is totally overdone. So bored of this name now, used to like it.

Sebastian - don't like it.
Persimmon nn Persie - words fail me. Percival nn Percy would be better
Rory - very popular all of a sudden. Not one for those who can't say R
Roland nn Rolly - Roly is ok
Riley - no
Thyme - Time gentlemen please.

Probably a good idea to not name a child after a Sharon fruit. If you want to name a child after a herb, how about Basil?
