Where'd you hear Seb? Yes, it's short for Sebastian. Any name that is longer than 5 letters and more than two syllables gets shortened. XD It's easier for communication.

Other shortened versions of Sebastian are Bastian and Ian, but the last one, doesn't give any indication as to the full form of the name, since Ian is also a common name.

I prefer Seb, as the shortened form of mine. Although, if people want to refer to me by my middle name, they have to use the full name, I don't accept shortened versions of Michael. XD

I had a nickname at work, but it's longer than my actual name, so I don't use it.
