Cameron.

My yr 9 daughter has 5 Sebastian’s in her class and my yr 6 daughter has 3!

I’d go for Cameron!

Sebastian can be shortened to Bash, which is cute

DramaAlpaca · 19/09/2021 23:09

Cameron by miles. Sebastian is the male equivalent of a frilly girls' name.

How on earth is 'Bash' cute? It's horrible!

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 19/09/2021 23:14

Depending on age of other people’s children, Sebastian is either a singing aubergine or a talking crab.

MrsFin · 19/09/2021 23:16

I prefer Cam to Seb, so.....

LiamGallagherIsHot · 19/09/2021 23:22

I think Sebastian is a great name and sounds good for all ages.
I don’t like Cameron at all, I’ve know boys and girls with the name, they’ve all been horrible 😬 so I think that’s what makes me dislike it. That’s completely irrational though. 😂

Sebastian.

LulaMaeBarnes · 20/09/2021 00:15

I like Cameron but I don’t like the meaning. It means “wonky nose”

Unsure1983 · 20/09/2021 00:33

Cameron.

Snowjive2 · 20/09/2021 00:35

Totally Cameron. It may mean “big nose” in Gaelic but it has a noble ring to it, and Cam is a great nickname.

Sebastian

IceLace100 · 20/09/2021 00:40

Cameron reminds me of David Cameron...

daisypond · 20/09/2021 06:42

Cameron. I really don’t like Sebastian.

RavenclawsRoar · 20/09/2021 07:42

Sebastian! Really dislike Cameron.

EdgeOfTheSky · 20/09/2021 07:42

Sebastian

And I wouldn’t use Cameron unless you are Scottish. It seems like a very Scottish identified name to me.

MitheringMytryl · 20/09/2021 07:49

Cameron.

Sebastian sounds like a fancy cat's name.

My other half is Scottish and will have a very Scottish surname

Cameron definitely. Strong name and easy to say.

Sebastian is long and frilly. Unfortunately it hasn't any nice short forms.. Seb, Sebby, Basty are not nice imo.

I agree.

Bash
noun
1 1. 
a heavy blow."a bash on the head"

Kanaloa · 20/09/2021 09:37

Cameron for sure! I like Cammy for a little boy’s nickname. Sebastian is nice too though.
