I like them all, especially Leo.

DH is called Seth, so I wouldn't use that but I think it's a really nice name.

All of them are great, s'pose I'd avoid Leo because of the Blairs.

LOL @ 'can't be shortened'

DH has a weird problem with nicknames, probably because he's jealous that his name can't be shortened.

So beware if you call your son Seth or Leo he might insist on addressing his friends Billy, Archie and Alfie as WIlliam, Archibald and Afred.

Seth is becoming really popular, I know 3 little Seths and they are all lovely. I think it's a great name.

Will,
then
Seth,
then Leo

But Leo Lewis alliteration could either be fab or terrible. So not very helpful there sorry!

I love Seth! Only really thought about it the other day and I think it's a great name. I quite like William too, but I've heard Leo too much I think. I still like it though!

Seth is fab. Would have been on my shortlist for a boy, except we have a monosyllabic surname and it sounded a bit terse. I still love it though.

William would be my choice - I really, really dislike Seth, sorry and if your surname begins with "L" then I wouldn't choose Leo.

William

Leo makes me think of the Blair child. Also would sound odd with an L surname.
