Don't like Seth. Sounds vaguely sinister or slithery.

jellybeans · 20/08/2008 13:07

Only like Leo.

Mammina · 19/08/2008 23:21

Der I never realised before that Liam was short for William!

loler · 19/08/2008 22:43

Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth,Seth!

I discovered this name about a month (too late) after ds2 was born. He'll be 1 next week and haven't come across any in this area in that year so definately not popular in this neck of the woods!

Loads of williams/liams/billys/wills around though.

Hope someone uses it or will have to have another ds just so I CAN!

No no no not Billy

It is the reason you should not use William

just in case

preggersplayspop · 19/08/2008 21:59

I really like Seth, but my DH didn't like it for some reason. I like William a lot too. Like Leo, but not sure about it with your surname.

Mammina · 19/08/2008 21:57

William because I love Billy

glucose · 19/08/2008 21:46

Of your options I think Seth is lovely

moshie · 19/08/2008 21:32

William, not Leo with your surname, not keen on Seth

MuffinMclay · 19/08/2008 21:30

William

Leo makes me think of the Blair child. Also would sound odd with an L surname.

hester · 19/08/2008 21:24

I love Seth.

janeite · 19/08/2008 21:23

William would be my choice - I really, really dislike Seth, sorry and if your surname begins with "L" then I wouldn't choose Leo.

fullmoonfiend · 19/08/2008 21:21

Seth love it....

Weegiemum · 19/08/2008 21:18

Well this Seth has a 'L' in his name and he is COOL

Seth Lakeman

Very coooool!

notasheep · 19/08/2008 21:02

My nephew is Leo
named after a number of Popes apparently,didnt think it was a very Roman Catholic name,but when i went to Rome i found an entire wall of them,may put you off

PinkyDinkyDooToo · 19/08/2008 20:47

I love Seth, but DH won't hear of it. THe other two are okay, just not my style

pointydog · 19/08/2008 20:46

Not Leo due to teh surname

reginaphilangy · 19/08/2008 20:44

William. Don't like the others.

wessexgirl · 19/08/2008 20:36

Seth is fab. Would have been on my shortlist for a boy, except we have a monosyllabic surname and it sounded a bit terse. I still love it though.

gagarin · 19/08/2008 20:32

Seth

as long as it's Seth and not Seff!

charchargabor · 19/08/2008 20:31

I love Seth! Only really thought about it the other day and I think it's a great name. I quite like William too, but I've heard Leo too much I think. I still like it though!

stroppyknickers · 19/08/2008 20:30

ds is leo - lots of them about. Love Seth.

S1ur · 19/08/2008 20:29

Will,
then
Seth,
then Leo

But Leo Lewis alliteration could either be fab or terrible. So not very helpful there sorry!

MrsJamin · 19/08/2008 20:27

Seth is becoming really popular, I know 3 little Seths and they are all lovely. I think it's a great name.

wellbalanced · 19/08/2008 20:05

I only like William but thats just me..
