Sebastian Jr.? That name blows. You should call him Thurgreed.

Another thing you will avoid by refusing to tell people name choices is the inevitable, "Don't name your child _________ because I associate that name with somebody who is horrible in my office/college/church/whatever." It's not funny. These people are serious.
The only times it is appropriate to make fun of names are (1) before the soon-to-be-mom is actually pregnant, (2) to someone's face about their own name and (3) anytime, behind their or their parents' backs.

I'm still pissed off that my favorite girl name was appropriated by an allergy medicine a few years ago. How can I name my firstborn girl Claritin now?
And no, I'm not pregnant.
