Alfie or Sebastian (Baz)?

[SunStruck]

Ladies, I need help urgently!

Currently being induced, 16 hours and counting at the maternity ward so got some time in my hands. Still haven't decided on the name for our second boy (first boy called Leo).

We are stuck between Alfie and Sebastian. My issue is that I don't like "Seb" as nickname... our Leo is just Leo in the passport, so it's not a shortened name. This is why I like Alfie, it would be Alfie in the passport too if we decide on the name. I KNOW it is popular but I honestly don't know anyone called that at all, so I'm not put off. I also think it goes with Leo.

Sebastian is also really nice but I don't like "Seb" shortened, I've googled and seen that you could also nickname Sebastian "Baz".

What do people think? Last name starts with "S" and is 2 syllables.

We need to decide quickly as we need to get the passport done asap to go back to the UK (we live abroad).

Thankful for all honest comments :)

The Sebastian I know goes by Bash

Baz is just awful regardless of his surname. Alfie isn’t really a grow-up name though - when he’s 50 will he appreciate it?

Sebastian is excellent. Alfie is a bit naff, but it’s very popular so a lot of people must like it.

Baz is awful. When I hear ‘Baz’ I think of a thick, yobby white van man with bad teeth and Union Jack tattoos who shouts ‘get yer tits out’ at women.

I know a Sebastian who goes by 'Zeb' if that helps.

I like Bash though!

The Sebastian I know is nn Bash

It’s nicer than Alfie

But if you go with Alfie then Alfred nn Alfie, Alfie is too babyish for a full name

Totally agree.

I like Sebastien/Seb
