Re: Sebastian
in reply to a message by fredscarecrow
I absolutely hate the name Sebastian, I'm afraid. It's not that it sounds too "upper class" but that it sounds extremely nouveau-yuppie. It's the sort of name parents give their kids when they wish they were upper-class but simply aren't.
Sebastian James flows, but I can't give the combo a thumbs-up; it just feels so painfully trendy to me that I wince a little when I say it.

And the old men march slowly, all bent, stiff and sore
The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
And the young people ask, "What are they marching for?"
And I ask myself the same question

Agreed.
When I was little I used to live down the street from a boy named Sebastian. All I remember about him was that his parents would dress him up in suits and he was an annoying, prissy little boy.
I can picture Sebastian and Isabelle as siblings, and I dislike them already.

I completely agree with your thoughts on Sebastian. It's one of my least favourites ... Sorry.

How differently I see the name from both of you. I picture Saint Sebastian with an arrow in his side. It's a name of a martyr to me, not a snob.
I'm not criticizing. My impressions are purely my own. I'm always surprised at how differently the same name can be viewed. That's what makes names interesting, I suppose.

I agree with you.
