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.

Friends here have a Basset hound named Sebastian, for obvious reasons. Lovely dog, but Bassets know their own minds. One day Wife was telling the dog, over and over, in dulcet tones "Sebastian, go to your basket; go to your basket, Sebastian" until Husband got fed up and gave a basso profundo bellow of "Basjan, lie down!", which the pooch instantly did. Regality had clearly been wasted on him.
