Thoughts on the name Seth? I really love it but it seems to be a marmite name

Love love love it.

PraisebetoGod · 21/05/2025 17:12

Biblical name so it's a yes from me!

Creepybookworm · 21/05/2025 17:14

I have a grown up Seth. Never had any negative comments. Names always divide opinions.

Catandsquirrel · 21/05/2025 17:22

Nice

crocodilesnap · 21/05/2025 17:23

It was absolutely top of my list but my husband didn’t like it.

RuthW · 21/05/2025 17:23

Nice but a bit short for my liking.

FawnDrench · 21/05/2025 17:29

It’s a great name.

YourChirpyFatball · 21/05/2025 17:37

Really like it.👍

Moreteaandchocolate · 21/05/2025 17:41

It’s not my favourite but a good enough name.

aredcar · 21/05/2025 17:42

Reminds me of a snake so I don’t like it

Mimilamore · 21/05/2025 17:52

Good name…

Love Seth, the one I know is 9& gets called Sethie, so cute!

Rainbow1235 · 21/05/2025 18:35

Love it

Menopants · 21/05/2025 18:35

It’s a great name but I suspect it is the new Noah

Berlinlover · 21/05/2025 18:37

Love it but I’m in Ireland where most people would pronounce it Set and that would do my head in.

bnmshortcut · 21/05/2025 18:38

Gorgeous name!

HonoriaBulstrode · 21/05/2025 18:39

Depending on where you live, a lot of people are likely to pronounce it Seff.

MMBaranova · 21/05/2025 18:43

New Noah? Noah was a descendant of Seth.

Alternatively Seth brings to mind an agricultural worker, wearing a smock. Trustworthy.

AdaColeman · 21/05/2025 18:52

Too biblical for me.

Nice but a bit short for my liking.

Same here. Other than James, I like longer names.

PopThatBench · 21/05/2025 19:29

Oh I quite like that! I forgot that was a name, I haven’t heard it in years. Lovely choice!

cheapskatemum · 21/05/2025 21:06

I’ve liked it since I read Cold Comfort Farm as a teenager.

TooGoodToGoto · 21/05/2025 21:18

Lovely name

Hamabeed · 21/05/2025 22:48

Was on our list for boys!
