Not met one for years.
Somewhat French.
University education.

I bloody love it OP - currently pg with DC2 and hoping to convince DH that Sebastian is the name to go for if we have a boy! Hardly ever heard of, but I knew a lovely Seb when I was a teenager and I’ve loved the name ever since

Seb342 · 21/12/2021 10:22

Great name 😂

SamMil · 21/12/2021 10:25

I know a baby Seb.

SamMil · 21/12/2021 10:25

Sorry, should have added - I love his name! Smile

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/12/2021 10:51

Nice.

In use but not super popular - check on darkgreener

Flittingaboutagain · 21/12/2021 10:53

I know two under 5. One is known as Sebby and the other Seb. Lovely.

APurpleSquirrel · 21/12/2021 10:53

I know a Sebby (aged 8) it suits him.

emmathedilemma · 21/12/2021 11:05

I used to work with one who was blooming useless and annoying so that's kind of put me off it! I know of another one who's about 12 and I've heard my nephew mention one from school - they're 7/8 age group.

WhoppingBigBackside · 21/12/2021 11:06

Not keen on it. Seb makes me think of Seborrhea and Sebum,
the bast bit makes me think of bastard

It makes me think of the Sebastian character in Little Britain

Elisemum · 21/12/2021 11:24

Nice name. I know one 3 yo. He will always be called Seb or Seba. Whether you like it or not. It is a nice name in my opinion

toastofthetown · 21/12/2021 12:53

It’s fine, though less keen on Seb. It was ranked #39 in England and Wales last year which is far too popular for me.

hopingforabrighterfuture2021 · 21/12/2021 13:00

I know quite a few. Lovely name! Sebby is cute when they’re little, and Seb is great for when he’s older.

MiniatureHotdog · 21/12/2021 14:14

I only know one, Seb for short, he's a lovely boy and I love the name OP!

Thesearmsofmine · 21/12/2021 14:16

I have one! It’s a fab name, more popular now than when he was born but not popular enough that you hear of loads of them.

Invisiblewoman1 · 21/12/2021 14:18

I love Seb but I don’t like Sebastian. I’m not sure why.

SusanHalf · 21/12/2021 14:21

My sons best friend is called Sebastian, all his class mates call him Seb.

RavenclawsRoar · 21/12/2021 14:36

Really like it! Rarely come across a Sebastian as a teacher, although I did know one at a baby group a few years ago. He was very cute!

Lifeisnteasy · 21/12/2021 14:37

I like it. Makes me think of a chilled out guy with a skateboard 😂 no idea why.

Bideshi · 21/12/2021 14:37

Yup. Lovely. Got one in the family. Seb.

hidinginquote · 21/12/2021 14:39

I really like it and if ever had more children I'd definitely consider it for a boy, there's a couple of Sebastian's known as Sebby at ds school and think it's really sweet

Blubells · 21/12/2021 20:19

I don't like Seb (sebaceous = oily) or Basty unfortunately.

And Sebastian is a little long

WheelieBinPrincess · 21/12/2021 20:36

I have a Sebastian l! Three months old. Called Seb mostly when we are not calling him ‘the baby’.

I love it.

Cindie943811A · 21/12/2021 21:43

I knew a Sebastian nn Bashy

Marimaur · 22/12/2021 13:58

I know 2 toddlers and 1 primary age Seb.
It’s a lovely name.
