HelpRe: Sebastian
in reply to a message by fredscarecrow
Well thankyou for your opinions! I'm still uncertain about it, due to the fact that whilst I love it, I don't want to name a child something which will lead to him being picked on in school, or whathave you.

Why would he be picked on?
Does every child with an unusual name get picked on? And Sebastian is not that unusual even in USA (among the top 100).
I don't get this fear of getting teased. Why would his friends tease him about his name? Those who don't like him might, but then they would probably tease him about something else, even if his name was Joseph or Michael.

Maybe I was just being a little paranoid, but I now how awful little children can be when it comes to some things. Sebastian isn't common in Britain - or at least the area in which I live.
