Seth

[strawberrylion]

What does everyone think? Part of me loves it but don't know if I could actually use it?! I loved Noah but that's too popular now...do we think this will get as popular??!

strawbs I love it. I want to ask what lastname is but I know you can't tell me. IMO single syllable firstnames go really well with lastnames of any number of syllables - you can't go wrong unless your lastname is Best or West!

OOOH yes ...do it do it do it!

Like it think it's getting more popular recently but not excessively so.

Really love it.

It's fine, not my taste really but OK.

DP really wanted this for DS but we have a surname with a 'th' in it, plus I thought it would be a bad name if he ended up with a lisp. (Nothing to suggest he would, and he hasn't, but you never know!)

I do like it but it doesn't really have any strong sounds in it... it's difficult to shout because of the 's' and 'th' sounds.

I love it.It's gorgeous,and one of my favourite names.

I like it. But be aware that the name won't 'travel' very well as no German, French or Spaniard can pronounce it properly .

I like it. It's a really strong name - did you know Seth (or Set) was an ancient Egyptian god of darkness and chaos?

I work with a Seth and he's a very competent colleague, so I have good vibes for the name!

Be careful - if you live anywhere in the South East he will probably be "Seff". My ds's friend is "Efan" at school - ds actually thought it was spelled like that until he was about 8!

I would have said "Sess" until I was about 10 as well!

Love it. Was one of the names I considered for DS.

Absolutely love it - it was our name for a boy, but just found out we're having a girl! :o

it is a good name if you want your ds to grow up full of lounging animal grace, seduce all the local girls then go off to America to be in the talkies.

love it was going to use this myself but as seeker says above seff is annoying, i took 6 months trying to retrain my dh's brain to say th not ff

Fantastic name!

I absolutely love it.

Had set my heart on it when pregnant with DS3, had a thread on here about it, told all my friends what we were going to call him, they said they hated it, but we perservered anyway. He was going to be Seth Elijah.

Then he was born, and he was Seth... for all of five minutes - he looked nothing like a Seth and it didn't suit him at all.

In the end we went for our second choice, but i still want it on our list for next time.

Fantastic name IMO.

Great thank you for all the feedback!! We live up 'norf' so the seff thing shouldn't be too much of a problem?? Also a two syllable surname...you've all made me feel more confident about it now thanks

LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Seth - it's a front runner name for me if we have a boy in 5 weeks, but as I chose the name for DD1 I know I should let DH have final say on the next DC.

A bit worried about 'Seff' now though as we live in the South East:)

I adore it!

It reminds me of Sethstarkaddersmum. I like her so that's fine!

Makes me think of Cold Comfort Farm.

I love it but unfortunately my DH doesn't (doesn't like Noah either though I love that too) so we have a different but still biblical sounding name.

Go for it!

I have a Seth so of course I think it's a fine name. I have never met another child called Seth. Oddly for such a simple name, I find I have to spell it for people more than I think I should have to.

Very lovely!!!

Always think Seth should be short for something - doesn't quite sound like a name in its own right. Also strongly associated with Emmerdale character and the smell if pigs (even though I haven't watched for years - honest ), and also with Seth in Cold Comfort Farm - all brooding and slightly repellent sexuality. That might just be me though .

Nearly everybody on here seems to love it but I really don't like it. Like Noah though.
