Help[Opinions] Re: Why do so many people love the name Sebastian?
in reply to a message by Rainya
I think it's probably because among the name categories, old-fashioned names that have made a comeback tend to receive less criticism than other name categories.
(And believe it or not, I don't like Sebastian either. In fact, I'm not interested in the old-fashioned name trend in the first place.)

Interesting! I think it's because they're more "established." Personally, I have mixed feelings about the old-fashioned name trend. Some of the names are amazing, while others are not my thing.
I love: Anastasia, Charlotte, Cyrus, Genevieve, Emma, Flora, Isaiah, Jasper, Josephine, Iris, Isabella, Isabelle, Luna, Milo, Silas, Sophie, Violet, Vivian
I hate: Alice, Amelia, Daisy, Eileen, Eleanor, Hank, Hattie, Mabel, Nora, Ophelia, Otis, Sadie, Sebastian (obviously), Willa, Winnie

Thank you. The reason I think so is that although old-fashioned names that have made a comeback are not boring (timeless names are to be viewed that way depending on the person, and most current parents were born in the late 20th century, So names from the late 20th century are likely to be viewed as boring) As you said earlier, they are already "established" compared to other current trendy names. And are old-fashioned names are not made a comeback (ex. Gertrude) or names from the 1930s to 1950s (now recognized as grandparents' names) can be seen as "old" by people, but old-fashioned names that make a comeback tend to be names that rise in popularity, so there is less room for them to be seen as "old".
