Seth is ok, Ned as others have said is an abbreviation and my sister had a cat called Travis, so I will always associate the name (fondly) with him.

LadyGAgain · 22/04/2020 07:38

Seth is hard work for anyone with a lisp!
Travis is very American sounding.

daisypond · 22/04/2020 07:35

I’m not keen on any.
At a push, Seth - but it’s a style of OT name that is so dated to the 1990s. Now so common and the demographic has changed.
Ned is a nickname for an Ed name - Edward, Edmund, Edgar etc. It’d be good if short for those.
Not Travis, I don’t think. Not sure what I feel about it.

Ned is ok if short for Edward. Seth is too wishy-washy for me. I don’t like Travis at all (sorry!)

Astronica · 22/04/2020 07:20

I really like Ned. A neat, cool name, unpretentious, friendly.

I'm not keen on the others - Seth is awkward to say, and I find its sounds unappealing. And OT names risk having a red-neck feel to me.

Travis seems dated to me. Don't think I liked it when current though either.

Whereland · 22/04/2020 07:19

Seth is alright. Don't like the others

N.E.D. - Non-Educated-Delinquent

Seth - old bloke (Emmerdake years ago)
Ned - a donkey
Travis - personal reasons this makes me ill

Sorry, but you asked for honesty if you said your DS was called one of these names,I'd smile & say 'that's lovely' and it would be, because it would become him iyswim

Don't worry what others think if you like it 🌷

OhTheRoses · 22/04/2020 07:16

Ned is a nickname, often for Edward.
Dislike the other names.

Whatsyourflava · 22/04/2020 07:13

Love all 3! Seth is lovely. Ned I really like too and know a little boy with this name. Travis probably least favourite as don’t like nn Trav. How about Tristan?

goodthanks · 22/04/2020 06:43

Ned in Scotland is basically the equivalent to a chav. It stands for non-educated delinquent.

MrsBungle · 22/04/2020 06:42

Like Seth, don’t like the others.

Peachbubble · 22/04/2020 06:41

I like Ned and Seth, not keen on Travis.

AnyaMoondial · 22/04/2020 06:38

I like Seth and Travis.

BaroleCaskin · 22/04/2020 06:34

Love Seth, not keen on the others

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 22/04/2020 06:34

Seth makes me think of Seth Green. I like Seth Green Smile

Ned is a nickname.

Travis are a dull band.

BelfastNonBlonde · 22/04/2020 06:33

Seth is nice, but I don’t like the others sorry. Bed and Travis don’t have longevity to me.

Ricekrispie22 · 22/04/2020 06:31

Like Seth. Love Ned, but only as a nn. Really not keen on Travis.
