I like Sebastian as a name. Unfortunately it always makes me think of this guy.
I’m sure all the grade-school kids will mock him for it as well: “Hey, you gonna go march into Morocco with no real strategic plan and get the bulk of your country’s nobility slaughtered, Sebastian?”
I would have pitted your Dad, for failing to put a stop to this.
He’s the Dad, surely this isn’t the first time the 3 boys have been quarreling. That they are all adults and grown & married and living on their own doesn’t matter – he’s still Dad, and able to tell them what to do.
And he was hosting, another reason for him to step in and stop this. But he didn’t.
This was my thought. Bastian Schweinsteiger is a pretty awesome player for Bayern Munich.
Sebastian is a perfectly nice name. It’s uncommon, but it’s not invented out of thin air, it’s easy to spell, and it doesn’t sound stupid or cutesy. I’m usually surprised these days when parents, particularly celebrities, name their kids something sane. It was completely shocking to me, for example, when Tom Brady named his son Benjamin.
Sebastian is a very elegant, high-class name. Not quite a million-dollar name like Wellington or Vaughan or Palmer, but good enough for any board of directors.
If your name is Eddie or Joe or Vinny, you may successfully steal from a large company, but if you are a Sebastian, you may steal the whole damned company.
Sebas and Tien. One of the Sebas I know is Italian, too, so it even counts as honoring the family’s ethnicity
Tien sounds better after “Vice-Secretary”, Sebas goes better with baseball bats.
