Possible brother for Seth

[Lookingforadvice123]

Expecting baby number 2 (we don't know the sex yet). We're 100% decided on Emilia for a girl, but are struggling with a boy as we already have Seth, which has always been our number 1 boy's name.

I like Jesse, and Freddie (the latter less so as it's SO popular where I am) but I'm looking for one I'm as sure about as Emilia. The complication with Jesse is that my sister is Jessica.

I also really like Jude but a close friend of DH's has used that so it's out.

Any suggestions?

I know a Seth and a Lucas if that helps!

I don't like Jesse or Jude.
I'd go for a classic or New Testament name. An OT name will seem like a theme.

I love Seth. It was our list if DD had been a boy, as was Fred.

What about...
Dashiell
Heath
Rowan
Lev
Art (I suppose short for Arthur but I like it as is)

Forgot to say, I love Jesse too.

Lucas was actually on our list last time! But we always knew it would be Seth, and I've gone off it now unfortunately.

Heath was also on our list, but I now think it's too much like Seth, also it might be mistaken for Keith

Ross
Leslie
Fergus

Jude
Max
Jesse
Frances

Ross goes well with Seth, Just as short but with a different sound and feel.

Jonah

Ah no I'm not a fan of Ross sorry! Jonah is quite cute but I don't want to use anything biblical as Seth is. I quite like Abel but think we'd be a strange family with Seth and Abel!

I love Emilia!
How about Gabriel or Jacob

Sam? know 2 sets of brothers called Seth and Sam.

actually prob Samuel.

Leslie?!

I love Jesse OP.

Artie
Theo
Alex
Leon

Flynn
Finn
Sebastian (Seb)
Ted

Seth and...
Owen
Nate (Nathan/Nathanial)
Zach (Zachary)
Isaac
Elijah
Kit (Christopher)
Ted (Edward/Theodore)
Finn
Adam
Joel
Gabe (Gabriel)
Caleb

Cain and Abel were Seth's brothers in the bible... Cain murdered Abel though so perhaps not....

LastNightsMakeup exactly! People will ask us where Cain is

I love Teddy (a few posters have suggested Ted) but DH doesn't like it.

Glad a few people have said they also like Jesse! Do we think it's a problem that my sister is Jessica?

Do you get on well with your sister? I would be over the moon if you named your son with a name similar to mine, it would seem like you have named him after/because of her. What about
Trent
Clarke
Jacob
Ethan

Tinty yes we get on well, although we're very different and she thinks I'm a bit "boring/conventional" because I'm married/have a house/have children (although she's just bought a house with a boyfriend - now who's conventional - HA!). I like her but I wouldn't go as far as to say I admire her enough to name a child after her. It just happens to be a name that I like! I think it might get a few eye rolls from her/DM, although I don't really care what they think of my name choices.

You have to follow the Cold Comfort Farm precedent and call him Reuben.

Evan
Asa
Levi

I have a Seth, his brothers are Noah and Eli, so we did end up going down the OT name route - not deliberately really, just because those were the names that we liked and seemed to 'sit' together well iysyim. Now expecting DS4 and am struggling for a name so will be watching this thread!

The one name we do both like is Caleb but it doesn't work with our surname unfortunately.

I went with Seth and Abel! Lovely names and go so well.
