What I thought first when the name Sebastian was mentioned was the name of one of the most famous explorers:
He managed to continue the trip when Magellan failed to survive the first circumnavigation of the world.
[Obligatory Trekker rant] Number One’s last name is spelled “Riker”. [/OTR]
Not a bad name at all. I knew one – we called him “Baz”.
That’s right - I forgot about the guy code.
When I was in high school I knew a Xavier that went by Harvey. Makes sense if you know he’s Puerto Rican.
If I knew a Sebastian I’d call him Mr. French and no one would know why.
Brother two was correct. Sebastian is a crappy name. He was doing him a favor.
I gotta disagree, Sebastian ,at best, can hope to be concierge at the hotel where the board of directors are staying.
I didn’t point that out, either. “Ryker” is not only a terrible name just for being what it is, but has an Unnecessary Y, the hallmark of bad baby names.
His middle name is a normal one and I’d say it’s likely he’ll come to be known by it.
Was he ill-tempered?

Like Rexall? Not a good name, unless you want your child (and subsequent adult child) to be burdened with years of “Hey, Pharmaplus!” or “hey, Drug Boy!” and the eventual name change requests.
My hairdresser (and the daughter-in-law of my best friend) named her new baby Kash. I’ve already figured out what to say next time I see her: “Oh, that’s original.”
Sebastian would have been better. (Or Ryker.)
Is her middle name Money?
Oh god. You need a license for a dog, but any old fool can have a baby…
Sebastian is such a wonderful name for a kid that the ridicule heaped on the father-to-be because of the simple announcent of the planned naming causes a rift in the family.
The kid will surely never be teased. What’s the matter, was Schroeder already taken?
(Yes, Charlie Brown is on TV).
I’ve always thought that if I had a son, I might name him Ebenezer. Just one of many reasons why it’s probably good I don’t have children.
Lorax is a beautiful (screen) name, and I actually do call my kids Thing One and Thing Two. Now that we have a third I don’t know what to do, maybe call him Fish?
Lorax as a real name, fail. Sebastian, win. Little Bro, ass.
In an odd coincidence, I was looking through a game store and saw an edition of Monopoly that included a little trophy for the winner to write down his/her name as the “family champ.”
The sample name on the trophy being lofted above his head by the kid on the box? Sebastian.
Call him “And Another Thing.”
This is why I advise all my pregnant patients to not share the name they have picked out for their unborn child until delivery.
When she picks her up is it Kash and carry? Middle name money order?
