Jethro is a good name, Zion isn't.

EmilyStar · 22/12/2019 14:58

Jethro is a nice name

Tinytimoteo · 22/12/2019 14:51

Jethro sounds like death row. Zion just no.
Suggestions: joseph, noah, jacob, gabriel.

You need to educate yourself more before just picking religious names because you like them..
A child has to live with a name, please remember this!
Zion 🙄

CoolCarrie · 22/12/2019 14:41

They are all very Emmerdale, sorry op

CoolCarrie · 22/12/2019 14:39

No, unless you are Jewish.

@scarednamechange,
" A brave choice" is a polite way of saying " An unwise choice"

Zion is a great name, I know a teenage one and he's lovely. Not keen on Jethro tbh its way too hillbilly for me.

june2007 · 22/12/2019 13:51

Jethro isn,t bad at all good biblical name but not keen on the Cornish comic. (or is he from Devon?)

june2007 · 22/12/2019 13:50

WOW - Jethro is a fantastic name, and you never hear it.

Hoolahlah66 · 21/12/2019 16:19

Perhaps it’s just me but Jethtro immediately makes me picture this dude.

Zion

Jethro is a great name....cool but not too odd.... have known 2 both good guys - nn, Jet and Ro but often just Jethro so nn not used at all..
i think 1 at least had Cornish roots !

PuppyMonkey · 21/12/2019 16:07

Jethro is fabulous.

IVflytrap · 21/12/2019 16:03
  • name, even!
IVflytrap · 21/12/2019 16:03

@scarednamechange Ah, lovely! I really like Jethro - a biblical bame that doesn't really seem to have been discovered yet. The o ending is pretty cool too. (I like Jed as a potential nickname).

Best wishes to you and your son Smile

KaptainKaveman · 21/12/2019 14:52

Zion?
Kampuchea?
Biafra?
Stalingrad?

They're all great.

Jethro is a brilliant name - and not very fashionable right now, which is always a bonus: when I was a child, I shared the same name (different spellings) with 5 others in a class of 18...

NeedToKnow101 · 21/12/2019 13:36

I think of it as a Rastafarian name.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 21/12/2019 13:35

I know an adult Zeon (as in Leon).

Bjorksswandress · 21/12/2019 13:32

I love Jethro. Different but not whacky. Suits all ages. Good nickname potential - Jet, Jeth, Jo etc. It’s fab imo.

I quite like Jericho but it does seem rather pro-Palestine or I would assume you were very religious
