I already have DD Matilda
Surname is Carty

Middle name will be Peter

Current options are:

Sebastian (Sebby/Seb)
Hugo
Joshua
Rupert

What else might you suggest in the same 'not-too-pretentious but would fit well on the rugby pitch as well as in the board room' style?! (Which was also the criteria for Matilda 😂)

We were sold on Sebastian until I found out it was a boy, and now I realise I loved the girl name we had lined up more than the boy choice!

Being totally honest I’d say Sebastian and Hugo and Rupert have more in common than Joshua - it’s a nice enough name but not like the others.

I like Nicholas and Nathaniel (I also like Sebastian.) The Seb I know has a brother called benedict.

We have a Sebastian, a Thomas and an Oliver.

Sebastian is only 2yrs 9 months, and we still call him Sebastian, although nursery call him Seb. Thomas and Oliver are 1yr 9 months and we mainly call them Tommy and Ollie, or TDog and Wally

Our Sebastian is at Rugbytots in Winchester with a 'Teddy' (also known as Mouse) and a (frightfully posh father) to 'Maximilian', known to both father and Nanny as 'Maximilian'.
Another frightfully posh pair of twins we know in Winchester (GUARANTEED to go to Winchester college - I randomly met the father in law one day and got chatting about my twins, he was instantly turned off when he learned my husband didn't go to Winchester college, but a Southampton private school instead (I went to neither!). Anyway, one is Raife, I can't remember the others name.

Ps... our girl name would have been Matilda too

Amdone123 · 13/09/2021 19:22

I love Sebastian. Also Tristan. Dominic is a great name.

I have a Thomas and Oliver and Sebastian were also on my list.

As well as Matilda and Joshua.

Very similar tastes we all have.

What about William or Harrison?
