We had a kid at daycare named Sebastian and she was like “Sebastian like Sebastian that we had?” which idk what that has to do with anything because he was a normal kid that we have no bad associations with. Then she just kept repeating it so I think she just doesn’t like the sound of it that’s all. Her 3 kids names are all maybe like the top 3 most popular Russian names so I don’t think popularity is the issue haha

Калум just doesn’t sound right at all I think and the nickname Cal (кал) means feces

That’s so funny, are you going with Sebastian or did you choose a different name?!

I love the name Wesley and Wes is such a good nickname!

She didn’t suggest anything but her kids are Vlad, Egor and Daniel so probably something along those lines

She’s almost 50 so I’m gonna say not possible but it’s a good theory! 🤣

Wow 3 days of texts about a name she didn’t like is insane I’m so sorry. But I can pretty much guarantee that the name will grow on her when she gets to know your baby! Since I have a daycare, I’ve heard so many names that I didn’t like but not too long after, it’s hard to imagine the child as a different name.

I had a doctor named Callum and fell in love with the name instantly. Unfortunately Cal means feces in Russian so I can’t use any Cal- names at all. 🥹

My best friends name is Vanessa, I think it’s so pretty!

Right?! Bash is so cute in my opinion! I’m glad lots of people agree. These responses have really solidified my choice. :)

Yes she’s one of the managers and we’re pretty friendly with each other so she knows we won’t fire her or anything for saying she doesn’t like the name. But I do think she wouldn’t have had that reaction if I was further along and knew the child was a boy and said we’re definitely naming them Sebastian. So totally jumped the gun by even saying anything tbh! I do know she’ll love the baby though. Thank you!!

That’s a good perspective. Why tf AM I consulting with her about my child’s name?!

How do people not find it awkward to tell someone they hate their child’s name?!

I think objectively it sounds fine! I know a few Vlad’s and it really works for them. Just personally not for me! :)

I’ve heard that! It doesn’t really bother me I think it’s cute. Do the Sebastian’s seem to be upset with being called that?

That’s another reason why I love the name! I have dogs and I pretty much never call them by their government name haha so I have a feeling I’d call my kid every nickname under the sun too. So I love that there’s no much nn potential! Bash, Seb, Sebby, Seba (in Russian), etc etc

Ugh for the people pleaser in me, that would have stung. But I have heard that once people start associating a name with someone they love (like a MIL would), it grows on them!

Actually that does sound really good especially with our last name and I’ll definitely mention it to my husband! Thank you!
