Don't hold back - would love to know what connotations, both good and bad the name gives people.

Thanks!

love it

Saturn74 · 19/08/2007 11:19

Like it.
Connotations - reminds me of that lobster from 'The Little Mermaid'.
So all good.

NKF · 19/08/2007 11:20

It's a handsome name. Possibly some people would find it a bit stuffy but I like it.

WendyWeber · 19/08/2007 11:20

I like it - connotations - dark-haired boy with large white dog!

Tranquila · 19/08/2007 11:20

s'alright.

bit posh. esp as 'Seb'.

dunno whether you think thats good or bad!

FloriaTosca · 19/08/2007 11:20

I like it. Connotations: Sebastian Coe; not my sort of politician but athletic, strong minded and intelligent. So long as you like the nickname Seb... go for it.

tigerschick · 19/08/2007 11:21

Can't think of any connotations.
Like it

WanderingTrolley · 19/08/2007 11:21

Like it.

Seb is cool name for teenager.

Slubberdegullion · 19/08/2007 11:21

I like it. ditto posh and athletic come to mind.

Roobie · 19/08/2007 11:22

I do like it but unfortunately, for me, it conjures up an image of a spoilt stuck up little twerp.

It's my LO's middle name. DH wanted it as a first but I didn't like Seb as an abbreviation. There was a very cool Seb at my high school though.

womba1 · 19/08/2007 11:32

I just think of the camp character in Little Britain.. the Prime Ministers secretary!
Still a nice name though

MrsJohnCusack · 19/08/2007 11:33

I like it
And a lovely mumsnetter has a lovely son called it

kitsandbits · 19/08/2007 11:35

Bit posh, but nice.

And will probably be a few at the school when he starts.

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 19/08/2007 11:36

Wonderful name.

NomDePlumeIsAShoeWhore · 19/08/2007 11:40

I love the name Seb

EscapeFrom · 19/08/2007 11:53

Connotations of chinless blond youths. Will most likely be doing something wet in an office. Hetrosexual, but really only because he's scared of other mmen. Passive agressive and whiney.

You asked!

It's fine. And if you love it, use it!

aloha · 19/08/2007 11:55

It's not too common, not made up and stupid, not rough, has a really good history both literary and otherwise, which are all good things IMO.

EscapeFrom · 19/08/2007 11:56

See I know people who are called Vicky who have a lot of class, and are NOT like Vikkii Pollard at all. It's all about the ones you meet first. I could never call a child of mine gemma because a kid called Gemma used to bully me - and the name conjures up a picture of her pinched, gleefully spiteful face.

lucykate · 19/08/2007 11:56

i like it, there is an infamous ds called sebastian on mn , emkana's little boy, if you see he, click on her profile, he's lovely!.
