Help[Opinions] Re: Matteo, Sebastian, Lucas & Victor
in reply to a message by Ninor
I dislike Lucas, Lukas and Luke, though for some weird reason Lucy is one of my all-time favourites.
Matteo is too unEnglish for me, and in English Matthew is one of the most boring names ever.
Sebastian sounds very grown-up and important; Seb is fine as a nn for all ages, so that's all right. But the Bastian form has a very uneducated image where I live (with the Afrikaans pronunciation: Buhs-tee-ahn or, worse, Bahsyahn). As long as that's avoided, it's a great name.
Victor is, I suppose, an uncle name to me: DH and I both had an Uncle Victor. Luckily they were both excellent men! I'd use it as an honouring mn. For a girl, I'd also like to use Vickie as an honouring mn, after a friend whose full name it is.
