Which do you prefer?
Seb would be registered as Sebastian but we’d call him Seb x

Seb

Gabriel

Gabriel by a country mile. I'm not fond of Sebastian, but Seb is ghastly.

IHateWasps · 27/10/2022 09:18

Gabriel. Sebastian is a great name but Seb is awful.

KirstenBlest · 27/10/2022 09:21

I don't like either of them, sorry. Gabriel is the better of the two, but it will be shortened. Gab or Gabe?

Seb sounds like a dandruff shampoo. Gabriel is an archangel ( please don’t call him Gab, though, I suppose Gabe would be okay).

I love them both, inched slightly ahead is Gabriel.

Rainbowandbirdhouse · 27/10/2022 12:34

Gabriel, mainly because I dislike Seb.

SnackyOnassis · 27/10/2022 12:36

I love Gabriel, it was high on my list but I was overruled!

Heckythump1 · 27/10/2022 12:38

Seb by a mile.... Gabriel is a wimpy name! :P

User6761 · 27/10/2022 12:39

Really like Seb, a name that works for a child and an adult.

Can never decide if I like Gabriel or not.

These were our shortlisted two names for DS2. Then DSis got engaged to someone called Gabriel so that made our decision for us! Both good names. Seb is quite popular in my DC's school years.

Dassams · 27/10/2022 13:02

Gabriel definitely.

Seb is awful. Sounds so oily (sebaceous) and unfinished!

Sebastian is ok but perhaps a bit long

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 27/10/2022 13:20

Definitely Gabriel.

Bimblybomeyelash · 27/10/2022 13:28

I like them both. I know lots more Sebastian’s than Gabriel’s, if you’re bothered about popularity.

CastleTower · 27/10/2022 13:57

Love Gabriel.

Not keen on Sebastian, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/10/2022 14:00

Gabriel.

mumonthehill · 27/10/2022 14:05

I have a Gabriel so obviously biased! But I do like Sebastian as well.

Pieceofpurplesky · 27/10/2022 14:07

My three favourite boy's names are Seb, Gabe and Zach

Dassams · 27/10/2022 15:46

Gabriel is a lovely name. Travels well too.

I don't like Seb at all. It doesn't sound like a 'name' to me, more of a sound.

sopeas · 27/10/2022 16:34

Sebastian!

yoshiblue · 27/10/2022 17:11

Gabriel! Seb/Sebastian is everywhere.

HoHoHowMuch · 27/10/2022 19:07

I love them both, but not the shorter versions.

ChillysWaterBottle · 27/10/2022 19:08

Like them both but prefer Gabriel, lovely name

Malfi · 27/10/2022 19:46

Gabriel by miles. Seb is particularly not nice.
