View Full Version : Sebastopudlians? Umm.....no.
Sebastopudlians? Sebastopolans? Sebastopolites? Sebastopolians? Sebastopolistas?
I was writing an email to my bro, and trying to think of a shorter version of "the residents of Sebastopol". Does it matter? Absolutely not. Will the term come up again? Maybe once or twice a year, in my discussions, at most. But it got me to idly wondering if there is a generally-used or accepted term that residents of Sebastopol use. Any ideas or opinions?

ps. I thought of setting up a little poll, associated with the post, just to set up a simple means of WaccoBB member feedback - couldn't see how to do it.

I like to say Sebastopulians/pudlians.
Also, I refer to us residents of Sonoma county as Sonomites.
Sonomites unite!

Gosh, that's a good question. Being a new citizen of this fair city, I hadn't given it much thought (or needed to). But I like 'Sebastopudlians' the best, out of the ones suggested so far. "Sebastards" wouldn't do, I suppose, altho it's nice & short!Smiles,

"Sebastopudlian" has the blessing of the City (Council). See for instance this last Summer' Community Newsletter at

I wanna step back and reevaluate my stance on a name for ourselves; After all this might be forever! I think since we're all trying to get along like brothers and sisters it might be "SIBS" for siblings. Or “SEBS”. Barry I know you wanna change the “wanna”, but just this once try to refrain and leave it! LMAO!!!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Hey, just so you know, although I'll fix an occasional, clearly unintentional, typo when I'm feeling generous, I generally do not edit posts. There have been a few (like 2 or 3?) egregious posts that I have edited to make them fit for public consumption. I will fix formatting or remove excessive quotes when necessary.

On a tangential topic, what is the proper pronunciation (if any) of Sebastopol?
I hear, "Sebasto-pole" and "Sebasto-pool". Which is it?
I've been living in this county since '07, the first four years in Sebastopol, and I started visiting twice a year back in '89. I hear both versions, with the the first choice, "Pole", the most common. That's the one I use.
But I heard a Chamber of Commerce ad on KRSH yesterday that used the "Pool" version. What'up wit dat?
[The pronuciation of Sebatopol discussion was split off into its own thread here (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15826)]
And to return to the previous part of this thread:
Mykil and Barry, "Get a room"!
I feel the LOVE but do you guys have to be so public about it? (Sic.)

Hold up there Mr. Miles; I do seem to recall a few personal emails from you clarifing my proper english spelling; As a matter of fact I was going to send you all of my posts first before posting them on line. So as you may check the spelling for me. The only reason you wern't mentioned along with barry is I was in a hurry and forgot to include you!!!! LMFAO!!!!! you are a profound nut that I love even though we have never met!!! PEACE:shades:

HOW ABOUT SEBASTOPEOPLE?!:Yinyangv:
OK, I've got it. This is a pretty literary community, right? Think Gulliver's Travels. The residents from Lilliput were called, yes, Lilliputians!
So, we are called, Sebastoputians!
And it gets better, a quick search turned this up.
"There is more backbiting and conspiracy in Lilliput than anywhere else, and more of the pettiness of small minds who imagine themselves to be grand.". Too much!
And our intelligent, secretive neighbors to the South?
Yes, I'm talking about the Petaluminati!

Sebastopol is a resort town in the Ukrane (Russia) I believe the early Russian settlers may have given the name...to "Sebastopeople"

Dear All: For an accurate understanding and history (facts!!) of how this town came to be named simply go to the town's website. It will tell you. (I won't spoil things by revealing it now, but I can tell you it's pronounced "Pole" (Sebastopol) and that it was not named by Russian settlers nor particularly, for the town in the Crimea where Florence Nightingale ministered.) As for those who call it Sebastophew and stuff, my feeling is that we might try to respect history and the folks who settled in this area and worked so hard to build this place we now call home.
Cheers!
