I think both sound better with Joseph than Joshua.

I guess here's what I'd consider...

-Sebastian is more popular than Lincoln, for me...that'd make me choose Lincoln

-Would you want to use nicknames? Bash? Link? If you don't want either nicknames, then this won't be a factor...otherwise, which nickname do you like best?
-Lincoln can be seen as unisex (though I personally don't get it) which may or may not be a deal breaker
-Meaning doesn't matter much to me but I know it does to a lot of people. Neither one really stands out to me but...
Lincoln: town by the pool
Sebastian: person from ancient city of Sebasta
-Surnames as first have become 'trendy' lately (Lincoln) but Sebastian could be seen as going the 'hipster' route which is also kind of 'trendy'.
-Does either name have a special meaning to you? Was there a character from a show or movie that inspired you to like the name? Is Abe your favorite president? Do you like The Little Mermaid? Or Shakespeare's plays?

While I like the name Sebastian for a child - super cute - I struggle to envision it on adults. Is there a nn you are considering? I like Lincoln Joseph.
