*Hebrew speaking countries... sorry. It's ok, I'll grab my coat Confused

... that concludes today's RE lesson Grin

Seth

Mollie85 · 26/06/2017 16:40

Boop - in the Bible Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve. After Cain slew Abel they had another son. I read somewhere in Hebrew countries, the name Seth is oftentimes given after a child dies. It means "appointed". Presumably God appointed him as a "replacement" for Abel...

Liam

Then Joseph

Seth is ok but my least favourite from the three

Mollie85 · 23/06/2017 18:07

Seth is my most favourite boy's name ever Grin

I also like Liam and Joseph.

bridgetreilly · 23/06/2017 09:18

Joseph.
Seth.

Liam.

In that order.

Boopboopboop · 23/06/2017 08:05

They're all lovely! Seth sounds a bit biblical (don't know if it is or not, might just be me) - not sure if that's something that would bother you or not

BagelDog · 23/06/2017 08:02

I love Seth, gorgeous name. Joseph is fine, a good solid classic and like the nn Joe too. Far less keen on Liam, always sounds a bit whiney to me, but still not awful.

Joseph

chipsnmayo · 23/06/2017 07:55

Seth isn't really to my taste (probably the 's').

I find Joseph a bit bland (and I loathe Joe).

So on that basis I would choose Liam by default.

numbmum83 · 23/06/2017 03:13

Liam

KoalaDownUnder · 23/06/2017 02:29

Joseph.

I really dislike Liam and Seth sounds snakey.

ButterfliesandMoths · 23/06/2017 01:05

Seth

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 23/06/2017 01:05

Seth, but I like Joe a lot, Joseph not so much (I know )

Buntysoven · 23/06/2017 00:57

Joseph by miles

Notso · 22/06/2017 22:49

Seth or Liam. They are both lovely.

Joseph is nice but a bit safe.

bluechameleon · 22/06/2017 22:37

Joseph by a mile.

C0untDucku1a · 22/06/2017 22:34

Liam.!

mondler · 22/06/2017 22:33

You've got great taste. I love Seth and Joseph.

SumAndSubstance · 22/06/2017 22:25

Oo, I think that's a great list, OP! In order of preference, I would go Seth, Joseph, Liam, but I like all of them.

hollyisalovelyname · 22/06/2017 21:17

I like Joseph aka Joe
or
Liam ( Irish for William) but I have a soft spot for Liam Neeson.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/06/2017 20:38

Liam.

Sophronia · 22/06/2017 20:35

Definitely Joseph.
