I have/had several former students named Sebastian. Wouldn't use it on my own, but it's a popular Hispanic name around here.

One of my friends named her son Sebastian and they call him Sebi for short. I think it's adorable.

I like it, what would a nickname be? A friend is naming their first LO, DS Sebastian.

I really like it. I know Hispanics around here tend to shorten to Sebas, which I am not as crazy about, but I had a friend in college who went by Seb, which I like better.

My nephew is named Sebastian...I like it in theory, but in reality its' a little too...hoity-toity for me. And I don't love any of the nicknames.

I don't love it but don't hate it. I really don't like any of the short forms though.

If we used it, I don't think we would use a nn. My dd has a very nicknamable name and we don't use any for her.

@yellowbird: I think you should be prepared for others to shorten even if you won't. My LO also has a very nickname friendly name that we never shorten. However, random people from neighbors to daycare staff take it upon themselves to call her by the nickname. Now that she is older, she is beginning to stare a preference but it is something to think about.

I don't dislike it but I do feel like it's the kind of name that only a certain type can pull off.

A cute boy in my junior high was named Sebastian. He went by Seb. I like it.

I know someone who named her son that - I initially wasn't a fan but it suits him and has majorly grown on me! They call him Bash or Basher as a nickname.

There was a kid named Sebastian on my school bus when I was like, 7 and he used to pick on me. I don't have fond feelings of the name. Haha

I like it.
@Tanjowen: I dated a guy in high school named Sebastion who went by Sebi- so I definitely couldn't use it but still like it!
But I do also think of the crab.

@LindsayInNY: I knew a guy in high school named Sebastian and he was a jerk too lol. I guess I haven't seen him in long enough that the name is reasonable again.

@LindsayInNY: haha!! Those names are the worst. I have several of those unusable names.

It's not my favorite name, nor my least favorite. If you like the name, go for it! Sebastian always reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions, which is one of my favorite movies.
