definitely think of that rascist west country comedian. I think of Jethro Tull too, but would agree with the "hippyish and travelly" pronouncement.

Bigbadmouse - DS1 is starting school in Hartland in September and a very opinionated kind friend told me that 'people there eat their own young'

Really heffa? if you are NW Devon then you must be quite near me? Nice country mn name you have there too! Its quite a country-fest on this thread isn't it? See.... all you have to do is shout Jethro and we all turn up

Fab quote Seeker - I love that book and film!

It does make me think of Jethro Tull but I think it could be quite a cool name!

And I live near North Devon (well, north West Devon) too!

BigBadMouse · 14/05/2008 16:50

laidbackinengland - yes I do...on the border . Absolutely right....proper country names for proper janners country folk

AbbeyA · 14/05/2008 16:49

I think country bumpkin when I hear it-sorry!

laidbackinengland · 14/05/2008 16:46

bigbadmouse.... I think you live near me...I am North Devon ? Country names for decent country folk !

Despite being a great NCIS fan and my love for the character that Mark Hammond ( I think) plays, which is called Jethro...the name always reminds me more of Beverly Hillbillie's Character, lol...so....not a name I am personally to keen on, sorry...

jingleyjen · 14/05/2008 16:30

not good IMO
sorry

Sending a link to this thread to him ought to amuse you for a couple of minutes?

BigBadMouse · 14/05/2008 16:16

laidbackinengland I would love to know your favourite boys names then. Sounds like we have similar taste in names and DH and I can't agree on one for DS1 who is due on Sunday.

Jethro is cool but I think it helps if you like somewhere rural like I do (there are a few Jethro's around here )

Jethro Tull wrote a book called 'Horse Hoeing Husbandry' and helped to start the agrarian revolution, he deffo invented a seed drill FDJ Q/ALIRJG

sorry I just fell asleep there, just as I doid when I studied this for O level history.

Up to that point I wanted to be a history teacher........

I'm married to him :p

LadyOfWaffle · 14/05/2008 16:09

Sorry, makes me think of Death Row (is that how you spell it?).

PuppyMonkey · 14/05/2008 16:09

Yes, Jethro Tull invented the seed drill. We did him in history. Still don't really know what a seed drill is, mind...

Crap name for a baby btw!

"hippyish and travelly"

he he he. Me and my sister ended up with fairly sensible names. My brother was teased but he likes his name now.
