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!

I find some of them very try hard especially Hugo and Rupert. Matilda is quite ordinary in comparison.
Alexander goes well with Matilda. Ordinary Hugh is a great name too.

Rupert and Sebastian are lovely but very common at the moment, but if you don’t mind that I would go for it. Really like Dominic, I don’t think the double C is a problem, it hasn’t been for Dominic Cummings!!

Rufus
Silas
Jasper

I would suggest Felix, but I don’t think it goes with your surname. Sebastian is a lovely name though. Others which have a similar feel to me include:

Rufus
Alexander
Lucas
William (Will)

I like pp’s suggestion of Nathaniel and Dominic.

I also like Gabriel but it’s maybe not very “rugby”.Grin

The reality is you will find more Johns, James and Williams on the rugby pitch if that is your criteria?

OnTheHillNotOverIt · 15/09/2021 13:31

Jonathan non Jonty is v rugby I think.

Joshua is a very “odd one out” name there!

Theodore

Monty

My favourite is Alexander, I think it goes really well with Matilda.

I also like Edward, Conrad and Gregory.

We know two Sebs, one has a brother called Dom, both late teens, and one has a brother called Teddy, (Edwin) and is a pre-schooler.

If you go with an A name you can call him AP!

Shelby1981 · 15/09/2021 14:53

We have a Sebastian and the other names we considered were Isaac and Oscar if that helps

manhattenrain · 15/09/2021 19:48

I love Sebastian!

Seth
Michael
Leon
Roland

GobbledyGeek · 15/09/2021 20:41

Sebastian has always been one of my favourite names!

I also like Alexander, William and Raphael.
