Seth or Nathan?

[Namedilemma]

This is our very short shortlist of two. Which do you prefer?

I love both these names unfortunately my DH doesn't

Nathan was my favourite with DS1 but DH hated it
Seth is my favourite with DS2 (due Oct) and I think DH is coming round slowly (He chose DS1's name)

So if I had to pick I'd say Seth

I prefer Nathan, but I do like Seth. I prefer a two syllable name, my dcs have two syllable names. We have a one syllable surname which is why I prefer a two syllable first name.

Will you chose a middle name OP? If we do use Seth I'm struggling as I don't like most boy names! I do have one in mind but am unsure

Seth, don't like Nathan at all. Seth is lovely, suits baby,boy & man. Nathan just makes me think of a grumpy teenage.

Grumpy teenager that should read.

It's not easy to think of a middle name for Seth! That's one of the things in favour of Nathan, which seems to me to go with a lot more names.
Looking through earlier threads, someone suggested Seth Daniel which I think sounds great, but Daniel is my brother's name so seems weird...

Nathan by a long, long way.

Yes, someone told me Daniel for a middle name too (you aren't her, are you ).
I'm thinking Lloyd - we have a double barrelled surname (3syllables-1 syllable) so two short first names really 'go' I think

I have a Seth Daniel

How funny - Daniel must be the obvious middle name of choice for Seth!

Seth is lovely. I have known three boys called Nathan, they have all served prison sentences.

Seth. By a l

By a long way!

Seth!

Seth

Seth

Nathan by a mile.
Seth is in the same vein as Stan and Noah of which I have an irrational dislike.

Nathan.

Seth is the only name worse than Nigel.

(just my personal opinion, really don't mean to offend).

Nathan - cool, but not too popular. Traditional without being stuffy.

Nathan. Hate Seth

I prefer Seth as taught too many Nathans who were not model students (putting it politely).

I wouldn't have been able to use it though as I have a lithp.

I don't like Nathan but I do like Nate and Nathaniel. Seth is one of those marmite names, people either love it or hate it!

Nathan. Initially for that bit in Handel's Zadok the Priest which always gave me goosebumps sings 'and Nathan the Prophet...'

And then I married the only Nathan I've met in real life and it's fab.

What about Seth Nathaniel. Sounds like Seth Daniel, neatly incorporates Nathan.

Seth! I love it, such a great name.

CPTart would hate me - I have a Noah and a Seth!

Unsurprisingly I vote Seth - love it (my Seth goes by his middle name so is actually William Seth, but think Seth William works too).
