Thoughts on the name Jett?

Hiya,

What's your thoughts on the name Jett for a boy? Would you automatically think Jet Li?

thanks :)

Seriously, we thought we were being original when we called our black Labrador puppy Jet. Turns out we weren't 🤷‍♀️

No.

It sounds like a made up name or a name for a dog tbh. It also will probably cause difficulty for your dc in that some people will make assumptions or not take him seriously. You only need to look at the responses on here. Yes a celebrity might use it namely because it's easier to get away with daft names if your parents are actors or whatever.

Jet was my favourite gladiator.. but it’s also a great name

Cbeebiesrehab · 07/08/2019 20:21

OP, you clearly like the name and are willing to insult those who don’t ( the majority of the thread by the way)
I know of both George Lucas and Katie Price and I still dislike the name. However your reaction to other people’s reactions probably tell you all you need to know...you want to use it regardless.

I would think it sounds like a character from the cartoon 'Super Wings.'

Lobsterquadrille2 · 07/08/2019 20:16

I had no idea that Katie Price had a son called Jett but I don't like it at all. It seems a bit too try-hard. But if you like it, other people's opinions are unimportant.

PrimeraVez · 07/08/2019 20:16

I think of Katie Price.

Sorry - I’m not sure if you’re interested in my opinion? I know who this ‘washed up reality TV star’ is but I also earn hundreds of thousands of pounds a year so maybe? Confused

helpmum2003 · 07/08/2019 20:15

Chavvy, sorry.

DelurkingAJ · 07/08/2019 20:14

I would worry about other children making a joke of it...but children will always find a way to tease if they want to.

Not personally a big fan but my preferences are to classic names that won’t date...each to their own, go for it if you both like it!

Nope

I'm interested in people's opinion who don't make judgments based on washed up reality stars, also people who don't watch so much reality tv that they know that person's kids names :')

It's a dreadful name. Poor kid saddled with that. But it's clear the OP has no interest in anyone's opinion other than people who agree with her.

It amazes me that you all know Katie Price but not George Lucas O.O

OtraCosaMariposa · 07/08/2019 19:54

I really don't understand it either :') My other half works with people on 500K+ per year & they are called all sorts, some very weird, didn't stop them either lol!

I don't get all this "your child won't get a good job and come across professional if they don't have a sophisticated name" bullshit. My lawyers name is star. Her name hasn't set her back.

My other half is a high flyer in London & you should hear the names of his colleges... Only an idiot would pass someone up with an amazing resume because of a name :')

Katie Price called her son Jett and its very Jordan in my opinion... Sorry.
