Horrible name

cariboo · 28/01/2017 06:29

Geoffrey is so much better. No logic to that opinion.

Atlast2017 · 28/01/2017 06:26

Really bad even for a middle aged man.

PenelopeFlintstone · 28/01/2017 06:20

I loathe the G spelling - and I knew a dog with the J version.

NauticalDisaster · 28/01/2017 06:19

Really boring and uninspiring

Mol1628 · 28/01/2017 06:16

I like it!

AutumnalLeaves38 · 28/01/2017 06:11

Though as a fellow Jeff Buckley fan, I like your reasoning!

Crispmonster1 · 28/01/2017 06:08

It's hilarious!

AutumnalLeaves38 · 28/01/2017 06:06

Better connotations than Joffrey...

Nataleejah · 27/01/2017 23:03

Yes!

Ohyesiam · 27/01/2017 23:01

Jeff is good though? If it was good enough for Jeff Buckly....

Ohyesiam · 27/01/2017 23:00

To me it sounds like an alcoholic banker's name. Sorry, you did ask.

PotatoWaffleCob · 27/01/2017 22:51

Oooh Jeff is quite nice (ignoring 22 Jump Street). We need more Jeffs.

321zerobaby · 27/01/2017 22:47

Geoffrey yes. Jeffrey noooooo.

SoftSheen · 27/01/2017 22:45

It's a no from me.

Especially with that spelling.

ICantThinkOfAUsernameH · 27/01/2017 22:44

Reminds me of jefferygate, sorry Blush

DramaAlpaca · 27/01/2017 22:43

I don't like it at all, either version. Sorry.

BadToTheBone · 27/01/2017 20:19

I was going to be Geoffrey/Jeffrey (never known which spelling), if I'd been a boy, I absolutely hate it and people have always laughed when it's been brought up. Incidentally my female name is just as awful.

kittybiscuits · 27/01/2017 19:58

Hey what about Zippy? George? Or Bungle?

Veterinari · 27/01/2017 19:09

Jeff is cool

JellyWitch · 27/01/2017 18:43

Lovely Classic name and totally underused at the moment. I prefer it with a G though.

Aquamarine1029 · 27/01/2017 18:33

Horrible name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/01/2017 18:18

Only after a relative, as a middle name.

2cats2many · 27/01/2017 18:16

No. Dreadful.

DulliDulli · 27/01/2017 18:15

Awesome name, I loved the Pixies. One of the reasons I fell for my DP, Jeff.
