These are our current main contenders for DC3. Any views? Thanks in advance.

I have a Robin :) he is 10 months. We get a lot of compliments on his name plus I only know 2 others (one is 30 and the other 60 something) which is partly why we liked it!

ImBrian · 02/11/2014 07:17

I like Seth as well.

I love Robin. Not used enough on boys IMO. Do it!

Sophronia · 01/11/2014 23:59

Robin! Seth is ok, but I'm not keen on Rory.

All 3 are fab.

Leeds2 · 01/11/2014 23:42

I wouldn't choose any of them.

All 3 are fab! I prefer Seth, no real reason why. Definitely have no soap connotations to it. Can't use it myself as it causes lisp-inception with our surname, which is a pity. Fil was called Robin, he was always just Robin, even his brother called him Robin. I know a Rory who always gets Ror anyway - no way of guessing nicknames imo.

I don't think there has been a Seth on Emmerdale since the 80's.

Lewismummy2202 · 01/11/2014 22:33

I like Seth, but my mum has warned me off it because of emmerdale!! Probably should ignore that though!

SophieBarringtonWard · 01/11/2014 22:32

Love Robin. It's on my list for DC3 (we have similar tastes I think, I remember an earlier thread). Rory is also good. Seth is Cold Comfort Farm for me, wouldn't pick it personally but it's a nice enough name.

DramaAlpaca · 01/11/2014 22:31

Rory is the only one I like out of the three.

squoosh · 01/11/2014 22:30

I would have said yes to Seth before I started working with a really irritating one.

Now I say Rory as I know lots of cool adult Rorys.

Robin is nice though, especially gummy Robin at the start of the thread.

Robin! Love it.

Is Seth hated on here? Why- because it's a bit Emmerdale?

Sometimes nursery used to spell it with a 'Y' but they were dafties.

Just Robin, or Robaloba-lino!

Currently pg with number 2, I do like Seth for a boy!

Tanukisan · 01/11/2014 22:08

Robin! Great name!

Zamboni · 01/11/2014 22:08

I have a Seth. Seems to be universally hated on here but I love it.
