Nay.

purplejungle · 03/08/2021 21:38

Yay

DramaAlpaca · 03/08/2021 21:39

Too long and fussy for me, but if you like it use it.

Thiswayorthatway · 03/08/2021 21:45

Yay

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 03/08/2021 21:52

It fits in terms of popularity, although slightly long compared to his siblings. But I think it's fine as long as you like Seb (most 4 syllable names get shortened imo).

I have a Sebastian but he’s a Seb!

bluechameleon · 03/08/2021 21:55

I like it, but it never made it from long to short list because I was worried it was a bit too posh

robotcollision · 03/08/2021 21:58

Yay.

TheBurmundseyIndustrialEstate · 03/08/2021 21:59

It’s a yay from me

WaitinginVain · 03/08/2021 22:01

Nay, don't like Sebastian or Seb.

WelshWhisky · 03/08/2021 22:03

I like Sebastian. But prefer Seb.

Winwins · 03/08/2021 22:04

Big yay

ribbonsred · 03/08/2021 22:05

Yes

Lozzak21 · 03/08/2021 22:06

Not a fan
Geeky and think of little mermaid 😂

ChewChewPanda · 03/08/2021 22:07

It was our boys choice (not used as we had a girl). So big yay from me. (We also liked Seb which I agree you need to really).

ladygindiva · 03/08/2021 22:10

Yay
I don't normally like long names but this has been on my list of boys names always, since I was a teenager. Never had a ds though, just 3 dds so didn't use it. Love seb as a nn.

KurtWilde · 03/08/2021 22:18

Yay but then I'm biased as I have a Sebastian - never Seb!

SherbertLemons · 03/08/2021 22:20

Love Bastien as a Nn (like the boy from The Never Ending Story! - showing my age there I know but have loved it since hearing it as a kid)

Not a fan Geeky and think of little mermaid 😂

My toddler affectionately calls my bump "bash" as she can't pronounce Sebastian.

I'm 80% sure we'll stick with it Smile

That's cute! You have to stick with it now it's toddler approved Smile

sibbys · 03/08/2021 22:49

Nay.

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 03/08/2021 22:55

Love it!

PricklesTheHedgehog · 03/08/2021 22:58

Love this name

SirSamuelVimes · 03/08/2021 23:14

Nay.

A bit meh for me really. Seb sounds unfinished and Sebastian sounds far too fussy. Like in Friends when Rachel insists that it's Joshua not Josh.
