I love it and would consider using it.

It's my stepson's 3rd name, his full name is Benjamin Victor Sebastian (in Dutch it would be Sebastiaan, but they chose the English version). I love it now!

I love Sebastian! It's rapidly rising up my list.

I think of Brideshead Revisited and Oscar Wilde.

Not my favorite, I think of the crab from "The Little Mermaid". But, I suppose that with the right person, this name could be good.

I love Sebastian. To me, it is handsome, classic and international.

Sebastian is not unusual in Sweden for boys 25 years and younger. There was a Sebastian Karlsson in the show "Idol 2005", good-looking, charismatic and a good rock singer. So I think of him any time I hear the name.

Love it. It's my favourite boys' name ever. It's elegant yet down-to-earth, charming, beautiful, and all-around appeling.

I'm afraid I don't see any old-fashioned charm at all. Sebastian is the trendy new name of choice for yuppies, so it annoys me terribly. It tries to be upper-class and fails miserably. Actual aristocrats use more understated names nowadays, and pretentious trends like Sebastian, Julius, Rupert etc. just seem wannabe and tiresome. Sorry.

I know a woman with a son named Sebastian, and she calls him "Bash" for short... kind of appropriate for an active toddler :)

I think it's a very nice, handsome name. I wouldn't use it because I know 5 or 6, though.

I find it fussy and pretentious too.

---

I like it more than I used to, but it's still not something I'd use.

---

I loathe Bastian and Sebby, which is the other big drawback of the name imo. It's so long and fancy, but doesn't lend itself easily to good casual nns.

To me its too much - fussy and pretentious and overwrought. But then my taste tends to run more towards straight forward down to earth names like Charlie, Eli, Max, etc.

I think it's a wonderful name. I would use it myself should I ever have a son. :)

It's on my list of favorites, but I would probably use it as a MN. It is very handsome, but it's quite long, but if your surname isn't going to be 11 letters like my future children's :) I would say go for it as a FN, too.

---

I personally love this name. I've known quite a few Sebastians in my life (well, I can only count them on one hand but they left quite an impression! All good) and eventually plan on using it if I ever have a son.

---

It's one of my favorites :)

I love the name Sebasian! And I really like the nickname, Bastian, that goes with it as well.
