Are there any good nicknames for Sebastian?
A neat old fashioned name, but doesn't seem to lend itself to a basic good nickname. Are there any you've heard of or can think of? And, no, I don't mean Seppo or Bastian which sounds less than favorable.

I've been thinking. The pronunciation in some languages must be seh-BAHS-tyən so I nominate Bas pronounced or even spelled as Boss.

I suppose one possibility that hasn't been mentioned yet is Sen, as a sort of "telescoped" short version. Or Sestan as a longer such alternative?

I think Bastian is okay. Seb, Bas, Bast? There really aren’t good ones. I would just use the full name.

I like the name Sebastian but I don’t care for any of the nicknames.

I'm a fan of Bas. Seb is cute too but doesn't work as well on its own.

I really like Sebby or Seb.

Most Sebastians I know go by Seb or Sebby.

Bash is my favourite. It was the nickname for a character on Reign, and the actor who played him was quite good-looking. So, I adore Bash. I love Bastien, Bastian, and Seb too.

Sebix. Not really, though, obviously, it basically means "chav" in Polish. But it is technically a nickname for Sebastian, which I also think doesn't have any good nicknames. Seb is the most palatable to me but I would personally, only ever consider Sebastian if I was dead set on always using the full name for him.

Bastie, Sebby

Seb. If it's good enough for Sebastian Coe, it's good enough for anyone.

Bass, Baz, Ash, Ebb, Ebby, Sebby, Bassy, Bazzy, Ashy, Aston, Ashton.
Even more unlikely: Asher.

I prefer Bastian, even Tian as his nickname, and not Sebby, or Basty.

Well there's Seb or Bash, I've heard both being used.
