Commentary on the name Sebastian:
Sebastian is a refined name that was always a little too elegant for comfort in the U.S. Your parents may even call it prissy. You can toss all that away now, because elegance has gone mainstream. This paragon of sophistication is now a global hit, and pals like Adrian and Julian will admire Sebastian's classic style.
