This is our very short shortlist of two. Which do you prefer?

Nathan by a mile.
Seth is in the same vein as Stan and Noah of which I have an irrational dislike.

Seth is lovely. I have known three boys called Nathan, they have all served prison sentences.

How funny - Daniel must be the obvious middle name of choice for Seth!

I have a Seth Daniel Smile

Yes, someone told me Daniel for a middle name too (you aren't her, are you Wink).
I'm thinking Lloyd - we have a double barrelled surname (3syllables-1 syllable) so two short first names really 'go' I think

Nathan by a long, long way.

It's not easy to think of a middle name for Seth! That's one of the things in favour of Nathan, which seems to me to go with a lot more names.
Looking through earlier threads, someone suggested Seth Daniel which I think sounds great, but Daniel is my brother's name so seems weird...

Grumpy teenager that should read.

Seth, don't like Nathan at all. Seth is lovely, suits baby,boy & man. Nathan just makes me think of a grumpy teenage.

Will you chose a middle name OP? If we do use Seth I'm struggling as I don't like most boy names! I do have one in mind but am unsure

I prefer Nathan, but I do like Seth. I prefer a two syllable name, my dcs have two syllable names. We have a one syllable surname which is why I prefer a two syllable first name.

MB34 · 16/07/2014 20:33

I love both these names unfortunately my DH doesn't

Nathan was my favourite with DS1 but DH hated it
Seth is my favourite with DS2 (due Oct) and I think DH is coming round slowly (He chose DS1's name)

So if I had to pick I'd say Seth
