So Sebastian is long with a good short nickname. Also quite traditional and a bit posh. Similar to me are;

Jeremiah - Jed
Solomon - Sol
Nathaniel - Nate
Augustine - Gus

I don't love these as much but they do sound similar
Caspian / Cassius

I don't think Sebastian is massively popular though. It's still quite a niche type name but I like it.

I have a 3 year old Sebastian and we’ve only ever met one other child with the same name (in a park, other child was a good few years older). Might just be my area though. Lots of people complement us on his name.

For our second we were planning on Phineas, nn Phin/Fin which I loved but DH was not so keen.

Hereward.

I love Sebastian and don't think it's overly common

Personally I'm not a fan of Sebastian due to the short forms Seb (sebaceous) and Bastian (bastard).

What is it you like about Sebastian?
I think of it as being shakespearean and linked to an F1 superstar.

Ir's not too overused, but it might be too popular for you.

I’d just go for Sebastian if you like it. I’ve only come across two in 12 years of parenthood - one in my 10 yr old’s class, and one a friend’s 8 yr old in a totally different part of the country. It’s a name that when I was growing up I thought of as unusably pretentious but has now become much more mainstream and I really like it. It’s definitely not everywhere though!

I wanted to call DS Sebastian but we went for another name in the end (mainly because I didn't like the shortenings). I've not come across any others though. For what it's worth, the other names on our list were Toby and Joshua.
