Name advice for boy
Howdy Looking for naming advice for a boy. The happy couple was considering distinctive names that are still recognizable. They got their short list down to "Sebastian" and "Sylvester". I notice Sylvester is overall more common but has declined in popularity in recent years.
Please offer any advice as to which name you would choose. Thanks! |
