Lol - I actually wouldn't consider it as I have a brother called jethro (after the man who invented the seed drill) but I was interested in what people think, and why

"Worst fears realized. Seth and Reuben too. Send gum boots"

Makes me think of the village idiot - sorry.

WanderingTrolley · 14/05/2008 14:52

I think it's a fabulous name. Jeth cool for teenager, but just realised it sounds a bit like Geoff if you're a Cockernee

Could have Jet for short. Do it do it do it.

oh dear

Like it, but I am not the best person to ask, as all my children have names that make them sound like they have sideburns and should be out ploughing fields .

BettySpaghetti · 14/05/2008 14:48

sounds a bit bumpkin-esque

"Oi've got a brand new combine harvester..." etc

I don't like it, because to me it sounds like death row. Sorry, but I am being honest.

cremolafoam · 14/05/2008 14:47

It makes me think about Jethro from the beverely hillbillies.

Blandmum · 14/05/2008 14:46

and I think of Jethro Tull

IdrisTheDragon · 14/05/2008 14:45

I quite like it - my sister has a friend called Jethro.

PrimulaVeris · 14/05/2008 14:45

Well ... the '70's rock band (Jethro Tull)

... and a foul-mouthed comedian much loved by a certain type of middle-aged man!

(Sorry you did ask!)

marmadukescarlet · 14/05/2008 14:45

Yes, makes me think of foul mothed comics - sorry

TsarChasm · 14/05/2008 14:44

I'm sorry I think of that comedian bloke from Cormwall.
