I like all of your names.
But, I'm kinda with you on Seth, my next favourite of your list would be Stanley.
My least favourite would be Zachary and Max.
Chum of mine had an Edwin, nn Ted which I like a lot.

Love Milo by the way, followed by Seth.

SirBoobAlot · 06/10/2012 00:06

Sebastian
George
Henry

Really dislike the rest. Least favourite would be Stanley.

Seth ,and love George but is prob way too popular . What about Angus ,Tobias or Hugo. I agree that Milo just makes me think of a Tweenie and I knew a very strange child called Sebastian which would put me off.

Of your choices I prefer Stanley, George and Henry.

Stanley vetoed by DH; George is DS2's middle name. There are quite a few Georges around tho, I teach four (years 7-9) in a not especially middle class area (most popular names at the school are Jordan and Josh); Stan a bt more unusual.

Max is very popular btw. I only say this about popularity as the other names you list are less often seen. By me anyway.

I love the name Zachary x

deleted203 · 06/10/2012 01:53

I like Max and Zach (not keen on Zachary). I'm probably going to offend people with my views on the others, but:-

Milo makes me think of the Tweenies
Stanley is for very old men
Henry and George are for middle aged and portly bank managers
Seth is purely for the Amish
Sebastian is very Brideshead Revisited.

Isn't Milo a malted chocolate drink?

Harrison? I have one of those. He's lovely :)

SonnySpain · 06/10/2012 02:47

Max and Zachary

Narked · 06/10/2012 12:54

Henry.

MrsJohnDeere · 06/10/2012 16:06

Love Henry and George
Like Max and Sebastian

Indifferent to the others

delilah88 · 06/10/2012 17:57

Seth is my favourite - it's brilliant. I far prefer it to Henry which is much more predictable.

LemonBreeland · 06/10/2012 18:01

Henry is a bit blah. I love Milo fwiw, but also adore Seth. I think it's a lovely name.

Growlithe · 06/10/2012 18:01

Seth is a lovely name, it puts me in mind of a big strong dependable man. I don't get Milo either, it is the name of a big purple tweenie.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/10/2012 21:27

Love Sebastian and like Max. Zachary does nothing for me and I really dislike Henry and Seth.

legoballoon · 06/10/2012 21:29

Seth please.

4boyzmum · 06/10/2012 21:33

I have a Seth and we always get lovely compliments on how much his name is liked. Has to be my fave!!
