Thoughts on the name Seth? I really love it but it seems to be a marmite name

New Noah? Noah was a descendant of Seth.

Alternatively Seth brings to mind an agricultural worker, wearing a smock. Trustworthy.

Depending on where you live, a lot of people are likely to pronounce it Seff.

Gorgeous name!

Love it but I’m in Ireland where most people would pronounce it Set and that would do my head in.

Menopants · 21/05/2025 18:35

It’s a great name but I suspect it is the new Noah

Rainbow1235 · 21/05/2025 18:35

Good name…

aredcar · 21/05/2025 17:42

Reminds me of a snake so I don’t like it

Moreteaandchocolate · 21/05/2025 17:41

It’s not my favourite but a good enough name.

YourChirpyFatball · 21/05/2025 17:37

Really like it.👍

FawnDrench · 21/05/2025 17:29

It’s a great name.

RuthW · 21/05/2025 17:23

Nice but a bit short for my liking.

crocodilesnap · 21/05/2025 17:23

It was absolutely top of my list but my husband didn’t like it.

Catandsquirrel · 21/05/2025 17:22

Nice

Creepybookworm · 21/05/2025 17:14

I have a grown up Seth. Never had any negative comments. Names always divide opinions.

PraisebetoGod · 21/05/2025 17:12

Biblical name so it's a yes from me!

davidtennantstattoo · 21/05/2025 17:11

Love love love it.
