Possible brother for Seth

68 replies

Lookingforadvice123 · 30/07/2018 12:50

Expecting baby number 2 (we don't know the sex yet). We're 100% decided on Emilia for a girl, but are struggling with a boy as we already have Seth, which has always been our number 1 boy's name.

I like Jesse, and Freddie (the latter less so as it's SO popular where I am) but I'm looking for one I'm as sure about as Emilia. The complication with Jesse is that my sister is Jessica.

I also really like Jude but a close friend of DH's has used that so it's out.

Any suggestions?

Cain and Abel were Seth's brothers in the bible... Cain murdered Abel though so perhaps not....

Ah no I'm not a fan of Ross sorry! Jonah is quite cute but I don't want to use anything biblical as Seth is. I quite like Abel but think we'd be a strange family with Seth and Abel!

Ross goes well with Seth, Just as short but with a different sound and feel.

Lucas was actually on our list last time! But we always knew it would be Seth, and I've gone off it now unfortunately.

Heath was also on our list, but I now think it's too much like Seth, also it might be mistaken for Keith Wink

Forgot to say, I love Jesse too.

StoatOfManyColours · 30/07/2018 12:59

I love Seth. It was our list if DD had been a boy, as was Fred. Smile

What about...
Dashiell
Heath
Rowan
Lev
Art (I suppose short for Arthur but I like it as is)

MikeUniformMike · 30/07/2018 12:56

I don't like Jesse or Jude.
I'd go for a classic or New Testament name. An OT name will seem like a theme.

Notmyrealname85 · 30/07/2018 12:54

I know a Seth and a Lucas if that helps!
