Sebastian

My top 3 for DS2 were Sebastian, Felix and Josef (to go with German surname, ex is half German) in the end I called the names out in the back yard and went with the one that felt right.

Jack. So many little Sebastians around here. I don’t know any Jacks under the age of 10 now.

Definitely Jack, strongly dislike Sebastian

MitheringSunday · 15/07/2021 06:42

Sebastian, by miles.

Sebastian

@RumblyMumbly

Jack I always think Sebastard
This was the first thing my FIL said when we introduced him to his new grandson, Sebastian 🙄

Obviously I vote Sebastian, as I have one.

Alonelonelylonersbadidea · 15/07/2021 06:50

Sebastian definitely.
There's probably about 500 Jacks born in the UK every day! Minimum

CoalCraft · 15/07/2021 09:08

Going against the grain, but I prefer Jack. Sebastian is a bit trendy and 'wet' imo, while Jack is strong and straightforward. Also really not that common as a name for new babies afaik

ILoveShula · 15/07/2021 09:29

Jack by far.
Sebastian is awful.

SmackMyAssnCallMeJudy · 15/07/2021 09:31

Not keen on Sebastian, but it’s better than Jack.

timetochangeagainforever · 15/07/2021 09:49

Sebastian without a doubt!

KimmyAndMe · 15/07/2021 09:55

💯 Seb

ILikeBiscuits · 15/07/2021 09:58

Jack.

Jack

Tal45 · 15/07/2021 10:42

Jack if you have a long surname, Sebastian if you have a short one.

@Tal45

Jack if you have a long surname, Sebastian if you have a short one.
Agree
CharityPecksniff · 15/07/2021 12:52

Sebastian/Seb

dancingbroccoli · 15/07/2021 12:55

Sebastian

RumblyMumbly · 15/07/2021 17:04

@QueenOfDuisburg just to confirm I am not your FIL Grin so it would seem Sebastard pops into lots of heads when they hear the name, sorry
