Re: Theodore, Sebastian, Olivier?
in reply to a message by Frappuccino
Theodore: distinguished and elegant, I like the nicknames Teddy and Theo.
Sebastian: I'm conflicted, since I like the sound and the fact it's a character's name in one of my favourite books, "Brideshead Revisited", but it's mostly associated with Adidas-clad skinheads. I like it in a vacuum, though.
Olivier: Oliver is much nicer.
I think Theodore and Sebastian go well together, but Olivier is French, and neither Theodore, nor Sebastian are used in French-speaking countries.
Ollie is oily and childish, Theo is great, and Seb is dull.
