Jack. It's a down to earth, no nonsense kind of name

Jack

Sebastian definitely. I would have used it if we had a shorter surname.
Jack, to me, is very dull.

I like them both so I'd have to toss a coin!

Jack

Jack, despite it's popularity. Sebastian's lovely but I dislike the sound of Seb and I don't think much chance avoiding it.

Sebastian.

2.5 gazillion Jacks.

Partypoooooper · 16/07/2021 15:57

Jack 100% can't stand Seb

I like Jack but I LOVE Sebastian.

SnottyLottie · 16/07/2021 16:03

Sebastian

Jack is so boring and unoriginal, I went to school with 5 of them and every generation of DH’s family has at least 1 Jack amongst them!

Jack. Nice, straight-forward name and still a bit cool. I know it's popular, but I only know two, and one of them is in his 30s.

Sebastian is one of the few names I really can't stand, both sound-wise and connotations. Probably doesn't help that I used to work with a Sebastian who was a condescending bully. Really don't like Seb as a shortening. Bastian is a better one, but still not great when you consider what people might change it to.

Ellmau · 17/07/2021 14:45

Sebastian.

Sparring · 17/07/2021 14:58

They're both good choice.

Sebastian would be my first choice if you'll use the full name. I'm not a fan of Seb.

Jack if not.

daisypond · 17/07/2021 16:09

Hmm. Jack - at a push. I really don’t like Sebastian - it’s frilly and the shortening of Seb is awful. Jack is solid but a bit boring. It’s a familiar name for John, which is gr

Jack

17caterpillars1mouse · 17/07/2021 16:26

I like both but I know more Sebastian's than Jack so I'll go with that
