I think that the anime adaptation of Heidi started it out, not 100% sure about it though.

I actually saw some few episodes of Heidi back in its day (1970's), got disinterested fast even back then, as a child - had no idea it actually started a fad that lasts until today.

The real question is who are the 1% of butlers who aren't named Sebastian and why are they not captured yet?

I think Sebastian just sounds like a good name for a butler.

I can't see why you shouldn't choose your career path entirely based off your name.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Is this actually true? I don't know of any butlers named Sebastian other than in Kuroshitsuji.

Because every butler ever would be a disapointment compared to the OG if they were named Alfred.

Apparently there's such as nominal determinism: apparently people named Dennis are statistically more likely to become dentists, for example.

I had a fish named Sebastian that lived way longer than a fish should. But yeah, whenever I see another butler named Sebastian I remember my fish.

Well, here in Brazil, the stereotypical name for a butler is Alfredo because of a toilet paper ad.

tbh I only started noticing that butlers from other countries are called Sebastian after watching kuroshitsuji.
