Thoughts on Jeffrey

I've been thinking alot about Jeffrey lately. Yes it's a bit dated, but I still think it's a lovely name and Jeff could be quite cool in a retro chic kinda way, no?

Thoughts?

Oh it’s my dads name - spelt that’s way too.
My dad does not an anorak or wear nylon suits. (Well he may have done in the 70’s!)

He’s a cool guy! He’s kind, generous, funny, has loads of friends and is well respected in the community.
It’s about time there were more cool guy Jeffrey’s in the world!

Quite like it. Prefer Gregory which has a similar feel.

Dahmer even!

rottiemum88 · 28/02/2020 18:59

I automatically think "Dhamer" so it's a no from me

RuthW · 28/02/2020 18:03

Love it spelt that way.

MrsJoshNavidi · 28/02/2020 17:42

I prefer Geoffrey.

Poetryinaction · 28/02/2020 17:39

I like it. I know a Geoffrey aged 14.

LonginesPrime · 28/02/2020 17:24

It just reminds me of the meme from 21 Jump Street 'My name's Jeff'.

No-one in our house can hear 'Jeff' without referring to it.

@BatleyTownswomensGuild I used to work with one and he was really wet!!
It’s a no from me.

I love it. I know a 12/13 year old Jeffrey and he’s pretty cool.

Poorolddaddypig · 28/02/2020 16:51

kenandbarbie · 28/02/2020 16:40

Jeff is quite cool sounding like Ned or Sid. But Jeffrey is awful.

Letthemysterybe · 28/02/2020 16:11

No.

Feltywelty · 28/02/2020 16:09

Lazydaisydaydream · 28/02/2020 16:07

I love it. I know a toddler called Jeff and it really suits him.

MinkowskisButterfly · 28/02/2020 16:06

Strangely I rather like it! Won't be many of them in hos class.

MrsMoastyToasty · 28/02/2020 16:04

I'm reminded of the presenter in the 1970's children's TV show Rainbow.

Singingatmidnight · 28/02/2020 16:02

It's fine, I only know older ones but they're nice and there's nothing wrong with it.
