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

Reminds me of snakes too!
That or Seth Armstrong from Emmerdale Farm back in the day.

Seth was the Egyptian God of violence and treachery, funnily enough.

Not a fan.

makes me think of someone who is sly and untrustworthy.

i have no idea why!

I like it!

I'm not a fan I'm afraid, even though i know one and he's lovely! It strikes me as very biblical.

It's a noise not a name to me. Just sounds like a loud whispy breath out.

WhatWouldHopperDo · 11/01/2023 11:07

I love it. Nice and simple.

By the by, I know of a girl Seth - she is 5/6.

I love it. DD probably would have been called it had she been a boy. I think of Seth from the OC

ThewaytoAmarula · 11/01/2023 11:01

It reminds me of snakes too, I wonder why?! I also have difficulty pronouncing it, but then I probably have a very slight lisp!

I really like it!!
It’s been on my list for years. I have no DC yet but I love discussing names ❤️

I love it, was a solid contender for #2 but I asked my older daughter to say it and it was coming out as seff which put us off it. Definitely go for it

I had it on my shortlist for DS but hubby vetoed.

Personally, I love it for all the reasons you mention. It just seems a solid, straightforward name to me. In the same vein as Tom, Sam, Kit etc. However, from my own experience of floating it to friends and family, it is a bit of a 'marmite' name. Got strong reactions in favour and against....

Thisbastardcomputer · 11/01/2023 08:36

It reminds me of the old ugly man on emmerdale.

Findyourneutralspace · 11/01/2023 08:35

I really like it! I’ve met one or two boys called Seth and they are very sweet natured.
