Leo or Sebastian?

[katielou987]

These are my two favourites for a boy but struggling to decide. Not sure of middle name yet. If we chose Sebastian he would be known as Seb. Would love your thoughts x

Leo

Sebastian is ok but I dislike Seb (sebaceous = oily) or Basty (bastard)

How about Leonardo?

Leo

Sebastian without a doubt. Love Seb. Leo is so boring.

Sebastian. Its far nicer and there are way toomany Leos.

Sebastian (but I have one!)

I like both a lot. Leo is strong and Sebastian is beautiful but agree the shortened versions of it are less attractive - Seb, Bas etc.

Love both names equally. It would depend on your surname? Middle name? Siblings? Alot of things.

I love Sebastian. Dislike Leo.

Wait until your little one arrives! You will know when you see him. I couldn't decide between two names and forced myself to decide before they arrived as I wanted to be organised and know the name. Unfortunately I realised I'd chosen the wrong one when they arrived. Then spent the first couple of weeks PP severely regretting my name choice (couldn't change it as hubby was happy with the name) I still call me little one the other name sometimes and feel it suits him more. So my advice is WAIT!! Defo wait until they're here. Then YOU can choose what is right.

I like both by the way. Both lovely. Have them both. Leo Sebastian or Sebastian Leo. They go lovely together. Wait until you see him though ;)

They're both lovely. I have a Sebastian, so am biased. One friend has a Leo, and it's probably a bit more popular, if that makes a difference.

Leo 100%

Leo for sure

Leo, even though it's popular. Sebastian is lovely but I dislike Seb and I think it is very likely to be shortened.

I like both. Instead of Seb as a shortening for Sebastian, you could go French and use 'Bastien'.

I like Leo, but it is popular.

Sebastian is strangely popular, possibly due to the same factor as why Lewis and Jenson are popular. Seb makes me think of Seborrhea and Sebum. I don't like it.

Shame about the lack of nice nicknames for Sebastian- Seb Sebbie Basty Bastian aren't nice imo, but Sebastian is quite long

Leo is much nicer and won't get shortened!

Leo

Sebastian.
Seb is a great nn.

I prefer Leo personally

Sebastian but then I'm biased.

Was going to say this!

Or keep whichever one you don't use for a future little brother?

I love the name Leo!

Seb is nice but I’m not too keen on the full name Sebastian.

I like Sebastian but there are 7 in my sons year (90 kids) so all know as Sebastian P, sebastian R etc

Love Seb x
