Theo and ...?

[Thatsnotmyfigure]

Help me with a boys name as yet again we're at loggerheads with number 2 DC!
I like short snappy boys names that can't be shortened by others too much. Cant have anything beginning with 'W' or 'D'. Already have a Joe in the family.

So far
Seth (my fave!)
Luke
Zach (already know a few - is it overused?)
Joshua

DH likes
Samson (Sam)
Samuel (Sam)

Actually I love Seth - how can I persuade him?!!

Any ideas?!

Nate?

Just use Seth! It goes really well.

Thank you! I love Seth. DH thinks it's a but wimpy and lispy ...
Nate - I never thought of that. Also Nat for Nathaniel I guess?

Ooh, I have a Theo, and really love Seth, too. However...!

Just say the two names out loud, as if you were calling to them in a park "Seth! Theo! Theo Seth!" Does it not sound like you have a lisp?! Or like you're doing an impression of that character in The Fast Show?

If you like slightly different names, then personally I do think Luke, Zach and Josh are very popular. As is Sam.

Nate is nice, or Evan? Blake?

Jude

I don't think DH will go for Jude :( I like it!
Slinky - I get what you mean about lispy and that's what's worrying me.
I really am hankering for something a bit unusual I suppose that isn't off the wall. I love 'J' and 'Z' names.
Josiah is nice but will get shortened to 'Jo' so that won't do. My brother is 'Hugh' so can't have.

Eli?

My immediate reaction was Dolly, but that's no good for a boy...

Oliver?

Like Seth a lot.

Haha, ds1 is Theo...and 11wk old ds2 is Elijah! I liked Eli when I was pg, but prefer his whole name now.

Speaking of Z names, what about Zane? I love it, but dh hated it and it doesn't go with our surname.

Zander
Noah
Jacob
Jed
Ira

Jay
Scott
Jed
Guy

My first thought was Luke or Max. Really like Sam too, prefer Samuel to Samson.

Gil
Felix

Noah
Ben
Oscar
Peter

Have to say, I do like Sam!

Never figured Seth as a wimpy name. I always saw if as a wild west cowboy name.

Elliot?

I used to love the name Seth till I worked with an annoying one. He's really ruined the name for me.

Thanks everyone - lots of food for thought! Glad Seth is Wild West now!!

Zav? (Admittedly short for Xavier)

I like Zeph. Similar to Seth but much "stronger" IMO

Seth is great, a pity it goes so badly with Theo!

That's not a deal breaker mind you..

Otis?
Griff?
Lars?
Gus (from Gustav?)

Seth's lovely! I love the name Joshua. Lewis?

I love love love Seth, my fave name ever. Didn't think of it till after ds was born though. I also love Theo.

Great names!

Theo and Zane
Theo and Isaac (Zac)
