Wilf or Seth?

Thoughts on the above for DC2?

If we went for Wilf then would be Wilfred officially but we'd call him Wilf day to day.

We have DS who is Noah.

TIA!

Seth and Noah has a lovely ring.
Really don't like Wilfred sorry Smile

Wilf is great! I don't like Seth at all.

manicinsomniac · 26/08/2012 21:41

I don't think either of them are a patch on Noah, personally.

Wilfred is ok but I really don't like Wilf.
I prefer Seth but it still seems a bit old mannish to me.

I've never met any of either though, if you're looking for something a bit different.

Love Wilf but I think Seth and Noah go better!

emilysmi · 26/08/2012 22:04

Wilf is great!

ThatGhastlyWoman · 26/08/2012 22:05

Seth. :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/08/2012 22:08

Noah and Wilfred sound lovely together. Seth is horrible, sorry.

Seth

Seth is my favourite boys name at the moment.

Hmmm, fairly 50/50 so far then! If anyone's got any suggestions for alternatives then feel free to throw them into the ring! DH and I have finally decided on a girls name, but struggling a bit more to make a decision with boys.

Alfred (Alfie or Freddie)

John

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/08/2012 22:53

Frederick
William
Benedict
Samuel
Simeon

maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavour · 26/08/2012 22:58

Seth is lovely and I think it goes really well with Noah

Other names I think go well are

Nathan/Nathanial
Isaac
Josiah
Joshua
Jacob

Ham69 · 26/08/2012 23:37

Love them both. May veer slightly towards Wilf but Seth is great too.

sleepdodger · 27/08/2012 00:35
Envy Couldn't use both due to ridiculous reasons but they were names 1&2 on our list for ds
Devora · 27/08/2012 00:36

I love Seth and Noah. Wilf too of-the-moment trendy.

LondonInBoots · 27/08/2012 15:09

Seth! Love the name Seth. I cannot understand the new vogue for Wilf, I just HATE it, its worse than the Freddie/Alfie movement.

Dominic
Bran
Oisin
Max
Griffin/Griffith
Owen
Mark
Nathan/ial
James
Saul
Josh/ua

survivingsummer · 27/08/2012 15:12

Wilf - great name!

I just think about trying to say Seth with a lisp (just asked my dd who has one - was a bit tricky!)..

AndieMatrix · 27/08/2012 15:14

Love Seth. It's in consideration for any future DS of mine.

MrsJohnDeere · 27/08/2012 15:27

Wilf

Kelerina · 28/08/2012 20:04

Seth!

ParaOlympicpark · 28/08/2012 20:10

Seth, Nathanial is cool, Nat for short. We loved Jesse but had two DDs.
I loved Lawrence (Laurie) too.
