Hi
I have 9 weeks left and have 3 name choices for a boy (we know it is a boy!). DS1 is Oliver and we like the following:
Sebastian (Seb)
Rory
Jack

People seem to either love or hate Seb and Rory. Most people like jack but it is very, very popular.

Which is better or have you any suggestions?

Either of the other two but not Rory!!! Other two are both lovely though.

I prefer Seb. I know a couple of Sebs, think it is not too "out there" any more.

Agree Jack seems overdone. Rory sounds a bit "Boy's Own" to me.

Bowddee · 15/07/2008 20:53

Really like Rory. I like Sebastian, but not the shortened version (Seb).

Pinkchampagne · 15/07/2008 20:53

I like Sebastian best

lilyloo · 15/07/2008 20:54

Jack way too popular like Seb best!
Love Alfie after dc3 was a dd

EffiePerine · 15/07/2008 20:54

Sebastian

Booboobedoo · 15/07/2008 20:54

Another one for Sebastian here (although I do like Jack).

posieflump · 15/07/2008 20:54

Rory is my fav

LaDiDaDi · 15/07/2008 20:54

All nice but Jack is a bit too popular for me.

I vote Rory.

3Ddonut · 15/07/2008 20:57

Sebastian, is the best, well, I love Jack but it's soooo 'common' sorry, can't think of a better word, oh, 'popular' that I wouldn't go for it now. Don't like Rory at all, our local team mascot is Rory the Lion, I suppose that's influencing me somewhat!!!!!!

mum2oandh · 15/07/2008 20:59

Love Rory, fab name!

Hulababy · 15/07/2008 21:01

Of the three I prefer Jack - but as you say, it is vey popular if that bothers you.

ChukkyPig · 15/07/2008 21:01

I think of Rory as Irish name (although spelt differently).

Jack I think is very popular at the moment.

Sebastian is a bit much maybe?

I'd go for Rory.

have to say my favourite is Sebastian as I wanted it for DS1 but DH said no. Has taken 4 years to talk him round.

hard to put a middle name with though as it's sooo long!!

Rory

Thomcat · 15/07/2008 21:03

Sebastian / Seb

or failing that, (which would be a shame)

Jack

janeite · 15/07/2008 21:04

Sebastian - I like it a lot but I don't like Seb at all

Rory - like it

Jack - nowt wrong with it just not v exciting; maybe as a middle name for one of the other two?

butwhybutwhy · 15/07/2008 21:05

Sebastian, lovely lovely name.

cafebistro · 15/07/2008 21:06

Jack or sebastian.
Dont like Rory

SuperSillyus · 15/07/2008 21:20

I really like all three names. I think that you will know better once the baby arrives which name will suit him best.

AbbeyA · 15/07/2008 21:32

Not Rory. Unfortunately Sebastian is bound to get Seb. I like Jack.

cheesesarnie · 15/07/2008 21:34

Sebastian (Seb).

not rory

harpomarx · 15/07/2008 21:35

I heard of a Sebastian who was nicknamed Sid.

madcol · 15/07/2008 21:37

Rory the racing car - sorry

Like Jack but everywhere/

Sebastian - sounds a bit Henley regatta

What about Toby
