Watch, there will be a run on the name Sebastian.



That's funny, I really like Sebastian and have considered using it for any future boy babies. Right now I have two sons whose names are really, really unusual and I thought Sebastian would maintain that trend.

There is a Sebastian at our daycare, he's about 2. He's the only Sebastian I know.

DS is named Benjamin and I've only met 1 other Ben and he's a year younger. It's becoming popular.

Me too! I was surprised nobody mentioned it earlier, it seems one of the most common to me. Another name I've (surprisingly) heard a lot is Cooper.

Lots of Coopers. Lots of Bens, although not all Bens are Benjamins.

DS is 19 mos.

What would Ben be if not Benjamin? Just "Ben"?

Just 2. One in Chevy Chase and the other one way in Madison, WI.

FWIW, I have 2 boys with names in the top 20 MD list and so far, they have been the only kid in their class with the name. One suggestion for a way to distinguish your kid is to provide him with a nice middle name that compliments the first name so you'd have the option of calling him by both his first and middle name (ie: John Thomas or JT). While I'm not a traditionalist, I was cautious when selecting baby names. I thought about what my kid's name would look like on a resume for a potential employer. Sebastian is rather common in certain cultures, but I think it might be a burden for a kid who isn't from an ethnic group where the name is common. And it's tough to come up with a cool nickname for it.

I love Emmett! DH vetoed it, so we went with one that sounds very similar (and has been mentioned on this page already).

I don't know any little Emmetts around here.
