Cannot agree on a boys name please can you look at our list

[GoldenDaffodil]

Hi

It's still early days so we've got plenty of time to decide but I'd like your opinions on our boys list for DC2 please. If the child turns out to be male I fear we may never agree on a name. This is a list of names we almost agree on:

Lawrence - Lawry for short
Seth
Evan
Eric

Thanks so much in advance for your help

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply :)

Lawrence/Laurence is still my favourite. Will go back to DH to continue the discussions. I think I'd be happy with any of them though and I agree that Erik is definitely a better spelling.

My number three was nearly a Seth

It was just that ds1 was only four and had a bit of a lisp, and our surname would have made the child sound like an Emerdale extra

Love Seth, deffo gets my vote

All the OP's names except probably Evan could be mispronounced by little children though, not just Seth.

Lauwy/ Lauwence or Laurenth depending on what they struggle to say.
Ewic.

I don't think it's a major issue, they usually grow out of it.

Nope don't think it's a problem, just explaining that I love it but we felt we shouldn't have it, it was more the surname bit...

Ds couldn't pronounce dds name for ages...people thought we had named her after a teletubby!

La La!

I like Eric.

Seth!! Lovely :)

To me Eric is a boring middle aged mans name. Seth is one of the older names thats making a come back. Lawrence does sound a little bit posh. Evan is ok. I prefer Seth out of them all. Followed by Evan.

Eric is great, short, snappy and due a comeback. I like Seth for similar reasons too.

Lawrence is not posh at all round here (Derbyshire) - v popular esp with the farming families. ALWAYS shortened to Loz by teenage, which is one to avoid!
