Seth
Jesse
Ethan, all lovely
I don't like the others.

mathanxiety · 16/07/2021 21:49

Douglas.

Not been on any of the others, particularly Ace , which is a Jack Russell name

Katefoster · 16/07/2021 21:46

Douglas but Dougie

Sixtonskip · 16/07/2021 21:44

Ethan, Seth or Jesse. Two of those were on our shortlist. Douglas I don’t really like and Ace….. just no.

Undersnatch · 16/07/2021 21:41

Seth

FVFrog · 16/07/2021 21:40

I LOVE Seth! But they’re all great names Smile

Mustardbay · 16/07/2021 21:39

Ethan

Moby715 · 16/07/2021 21:38

Jesse

khawk89 · 16/07/2021 20:47

Ethan

Uramaki · 16/07/2021 20:36

Ethan
Then Jesse
Not Seth

Cbeebiesrehab · 16/07/2021 19:49

Adore both Seth and Jesse…Jesse SLIGHTLY wins out for me but you can’t go wrong with either!

Mpsister · 16/07/2021 18:27

Ethan. Seth a very close second

muddyford · 16/07/2021 18:24

Another vote for Douglas.

daisypond · 16/07/2021 18:19

Douglas by far!
Ethan, Jesse and Seth are so dated and tired.
Ace is a bit..odd.

RuthW · 16/07/2021 18:08

Douglas is lovely snd so much nicer than all the others

PeterIsACockwomble · 16/07/2021 17:54

Not Ethan or Ace (they are both "naughty boy" names).

Jesse runs the risk of being called Jessie.

Seth is a bit over-used.

Douglas is the best.

TheRosariojewels · 16/07/2021 17:51

Douglas

PinkFlamingo888 · 16/07/2021 17:47

I like them all! But Dougie is my favourite!
I wouldn’t personally choose Seth for the reasons others have said, it’s too difficult to say.

MayflowerMaisie · 16/07/2021 16:46

Seth

DalPalak · 16/07/2021 16:33

I love Douglas. Ethan is a good name too but I prefer the sound of Douglas.

Jesse and Seth both are very frail and hissy to me. The less said about Ace the better!

CoalCraft · 16/07/2021 14:34

Jesse or Seth for me, Ethan a bit bland, Douglas doesn't sound nice to my ears and Ace to me doesn't sound like a name (at least not one to go with a nice ordinary surname like Watkins, sorry!)

Jesse my overall fave.

SunSeaSurfGin · 16/07/2021 14:09

In order of preference

Seth
Douglas
Ethan
Jesse
Ace

pilates · 16/07/2021 12:47

Jesse or Ethan

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 16/07/2021 12:39

Seth for me - lovely name imo. Ethan is quite popular, I find Jesse a bit feminine sounding, Ace is quite hipster (although a cool nn for Asa), and Douglas is okay but I'm less keen on the sound of Doug/Dougie.

sunflowerdaisies · 16/07/2021 12:31

@bloominglovelyorange did you check the Jessica and Jessies too? Most girls would be spelt differently but can still see why people associate it more as a girls' name.
