I’m looking for a new name, but I don’t want to commit without a good Nickname! So far [name_m]Bastien[/name_m] and [name_m]Bash[/name_m] are my favorites… which do you prefer?
[name_f][/name_f]I’m looking for something less feminine but [name_f]Sasha[/name_f] and [name_m]Basti[/name_m] are cute. I have a negative association with [name_m]Seb[/name_m] and it’s very common.
[name_f][/name_f]Thanx!! 
my cousins baby would have been named [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] if she had been a boy. the plan was to call her Ebby
I know 5 Sebastians [name_f][/name_f]- 2 go by [name_m]Seb[/name_m], 2 go by [name_m]Baz[/name_m] and 1 goes by Bassie (the last one is my favourite!)
I really like [name_m]Bastien[/name_m]! You might also like Sebby / [name_m]Sebbie[/name_m], but these are possibly too feminine— or too close to Seb?
[name_f]My[/name_f] nephew [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] gets Sebby, [name_m]Bash[/name_m] & Bashy. [name_f]My[/name_f] cousin’s son, [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] gets [name_f]Bassy[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]I love [name_m]Bastien[/name_m] but I would see it as a full name [name_f][/name_f]- so it would still need a nickname.
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Bastien[/name_m]!
I like [name_m]Bastien[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- so elegant and cool!
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Bash[/name_m] has a more energetic, quirky-yet-rugged vibe [name_f][/name_f]- so I guess it depends what you’re wanting?
[name_f]My[/name_f] close friends son is [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] and they call him [name_m]Bash[/name_m]! He’s the sweetest!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_m]Bastien[/name_m], but honestly, you could use both as nicknames. They’re great! [name_m]Basti[/name_m] is adorable, too.
