Naming our baby boy
This is my first ever post on this message board. I love names, I've been reading here a lot, but I've decided to become more active. Also because my boyfriend and I are expecting our first child in 3 weeks, a little boy, and we still haven't decided on the name.
These are the names that are still in the running:
Sebastian, probably with nickname Seb
Leon
Oscar
Middle name will be Tobias or Joachim (both variants on family names). So which first name do you like the most, and which of the two middle names would you pair it with?

I like Leon the most. Sebastian is too old-fashioned to me, and too long.
Leon is original, but not in a weird way. It has a lovely, soft sound to it as well as a good look.
Oscar is alright, but not my cup of tea since I think of an old man when I hear it.
I really dislike Joachim because it is weird in an English-speaking country as well dated. Tobias is fine as a middle name. And I also think it sounds quite well together with Leon. Plus, they both have a Greek background!

I like Oscar the most. Probably because I've been acquainted with a kid named that, and it's just so cool.
Leon is pretty cool too.
Sebastian I've also seen a lot of, and it seems super preppy to me. Not my style. And I don't care for nn Seb, it's not very attractive and doesn't seem as natural as Bastian.
