I'm after some thoughts on Seth, I'm really drawn to it. Simple, handsome sounding, adapatable, carries well. Would be grateful for general thoughts of others? Thanks

I love it. Only met one other. I'd have it if we had a boy but if dosent go with our S surname unfortunately!

Purplemagnolias · 12/01/2023 10:15

The sound sounds so lispy ans slippery

Nicecow · 12/01/2023 01:21

I don't know why but it sounds like a name for a Villan

peaceinourtime · 12/01/2023 01:07

it's a lovely name, go for it.

Makes me think of a little puff of air. A gentle little fart. A tiny sigh. A barely perceptible burp.

I much prefer Saul.

I like it!

For a reason I can’t explain Seth reminds me of Slitherin and Snakes 🐍🤷🏻‍♀️

That's why it reminds me of snakes
It reminds me of when Harry spoke in Parceltongue!

One of my favourite pupils ever was called Seth (yes, I know we're not supposed to have favourites, but 😛)

ShillyShallySherbet · 11/01/2023 20:21

Love it! An unusual but great strong name, which are hard to come by.

SilentHedges · 11/01/2023 20:20

No, Seth sounds lispy and slithery.

Compared with something like Ash, one syllable, which sounds warm and is a nice word to say.

Largethighsbadeyes · 11/01/2023 19:59

I don't see the snakes thing at all I think that's quite a reach

Largethighsbadeyes · 11/01/2023 19:58

Love it!

It was on my shortlist but OH vetoed by stealing the friends line "I'm sorry...are we having an 89 year old?!"

Nob 😅

Sloth
Slithe
Slither

I've always disliked it.
For me as pp have mentioned, It reminds me of snakes- Maybe something from Jungle book and that snake, sounds silly I know

maryofthevirginkind · 11/01/2023 19:01

Love it. Only know one and he's lovely.

MissVantaBlack · 11/01/2023 18:47

When I see the name Seth, I always think seething (with rage, jealousy etc). Sorry OP!

wingsofabird · 11/01/2023 18:43

Love it

IWantToBeACat · 11/01/2023 18:40

I like it! Seth Green, yum yum! 😍

OwwwMuuuum · 11/01/2023 18:38

Pretty sure churchy friend called her DS Seth after the OC too 😆

Mol1628 · 11/01/2023 18:36

I really like it and would consider it if I had another boy.

ShakeYourFeathers · 11/01/2023 18:25

I quite like Seth! I also think of the OC. Great character and I loved that show

DramaAlpaca · 11/01/2023 10:57

I hate it. It's lispy, slithery and reminds me of snakes for some reason. A very big no.

Me too, it sounds evil, like if the devil himself dressed in human form for the day, he would be called Seth. It’s odd because I have a very judgy-churchy friend who has a DS called Seth and it is a bible name.

shewolfsout · 11/01/2023 18:07

Lovely soft boys name. It gets a yes vote from me

TheOtherBoleynGirls · 11/01/2023 18:07

Absolutely love it, along with Saul, but sadly I have a lisp so both names were no goes for us - use it!
