Sebastian is alright but surely nobody goes by "Seb"? It sounds like "sub" and reminds me of seborrhea. Bastian isn't much better. Maybe Baz. Anyway I only consider it as a 3 syllable name, no nicks. So it seems sort of ... I don't know if it's natty, or overdressed. But not bad. I hated it until I ran across a real child with the name.

Byron is pretty rare but has been getting used for a long time. I just looked and saw it was more frequent than Sebastian up until 1990! I think it's pretty good... not my style, too poet-y, but not a bad name. About as good as Aaron or Brian. I like Myron more.
