Which do you prefer?
Seb would be officially Sebastian but shortened to Seb. Middle name likely to be Patrick. Thanks x

I like the name Jude but I wouldn't choose it because it can be for boys or girls. Therefore, Seb.

frenchfancy81 · 23/07/2022 02:16

Love Seb.

Merryclaire · 23/07/2022 06:47

Jude. Personally I find the name Sebastian a bit pompous sounding.

RuthW · 23/07/2022 06:57

Sebastian by a mile

Palg68 · 23/07/2022 07:05

Seb is nice. I'm not keen on Patrick though.

SomeonesRealName · 23/07/2022 07:07

Jude I know too many Sebs.

Luxa · 23/07/2022 09:35

Jude. Sebastian is rather wet.

DotBall · 23/07/2022 09:38

Jude

Seb makes me think of seborrhoea, flaky skin.

rainbowstardrops · 23/07/2022 09:55

Jude. 100%

Sebastian Jude sounds good.

pinklavenders · 23/07/2022 10:55

Sebastian is ok, but Seb sounds so soft and unfinished. Reminds me of sebaceous,oily!

I'd have to pick Jude.

romdowa · 23/07/2022 11:01

I love the name jude, jude Patrick sounds lovely as well.

ReeseWitherfork · 23/07/2022 11:02

I’ve got a nephew called Jude and 99% of the time I mention him someone will gush over the name. It’s not for me personally but it seems very popular with the vast majority of people.

SundayTeatime · 23/07/2022 11:14

Jude.
I really dislike Seb. Not keen on Sebastian either.
Patrick is great.

happygolucky42 · 23/07/2022 12:53

I have both and everybody loves Jude more than Seb!

KirstenBlest · 23/07/2022 13:57

Of the two, Sebastian. I dislike both. Patrick is nice.

pinklavenders · 23/07/2022 14:04

Patrick is much nicer than both actually

IStandWithMaya · 23/07/2022 14:41

Seb

rosemarysageandthyme · 23/07/2022 16:27

Patrick for first name.

SummaLuvin · 23/07/2022 21:18

literally anything but Seb

WhackingPhoenix · 23/07/2022 21:19

Sebastian. My cousin’s baby is called Jude and I just don’t like the name at all, it hasn’t grown on me.

Although I prefer Patrick over either of those!
