Presenting...

Sebastian Richard
Born Monday, October 24th, 2011



Name Stats:
-"Sebastian" means venerable or revered. We did not choose it based on the meaning though; we like older, established but still unusual names that age well and have various nickname possibilities. "Sebastian" translates well all across the western world and is fairly common in Europe and Latin America. It's experiencing a mini revival in the United States (it's in the top 100 for boy names) but will likely never be quite common.
-"Richard" is after his paternal grandfather. Our firstborn has her dad's middle name, and now our second has his dad's dad's name.
-Nicknames- we named Sebastian "Sebastian" with the intent on calling him "Bash" for short. We are not fond of the traditional European nickname of "Sebi," and figured whereas "Sebastian" is quite distinguished, there's not too many names more manly and blunt than "Bash." Thus, he has options!
-Initials: SRB- no problems there
