What do you think of Seth? (obv for a boy!!)I like old names and think its a bit different as dont know anyone with that name. But it does conjure up images of an old gamekeeper with huge sideburns and looks a bit like cat weasel (think im showing my age!!)

I saw him live last summer and he was soooooo dreamy! And of course an exceptionally talented musician, which is what I was appreciating!

ShowOfHands · 14/06/2008 17:42

Oh Weegiemum, a kindred spirit.

When he plays his fiddle and flexes his forearm, I can't breathe for lusting after him.

And I'm a librarian, I don't lust.

Weegiemum · 14/06/2008 17:41

I like it. I really like this Seth

Very dishy and exceptionally talented!

It actually makes me think of Seth Green the actor who plays dr evils son in the Austin Powers movies and he is quite sweet. I like it. I know DH qould never go for it though

ShowOfHands · 14/06/2008 17:33

I adore Seth. It's on my list should I ever let myself have another. It's a fabulous name.

VictorianSqualor · 14/06/2008 17:27

I really like it, as in really like it.

PuppyMonkey · 14/06/2008 17:27

I think of Seth Armstrong from Emmerdale Farm, not any trendy Seths.

QuintessentialShadows · 14/06/2008 17:25

And this is ... Seth

And this is ... [http://www.ancient-egypt-online.com/seth-the-egyptian-god.html Seth]]

Be prepared for mayhem.
Lovely name though.

ByTheSea · 14/06/2008 17:24

I'm sorry. It's one of my least favourite names of all times. Along with Todd.

And unfortunately, where I live, people would likely pronounce it Sef.

Tortington · 14/06/2008 17:23

love it

thats tha then - you need no other opinion

Pinkchampagne · 14/06/2008 17:22

I really like the name Seth.

Anglepoise · 14/06/2008 14:35

Apparently he's the Egyptian god of evil ... Perhaps that's why I think of malevolence!

Caz10 · 14/06/2008 13:59

exactly lovetobake!! i had it on my boys list but dh hated it, luckily we had a girl.

this is seth...

missblythe · 14/06/2008 13:56

Love it. Friend has just has a Seth, and he's DELICIOUS. And not old at all.

Love2bake · 14/06/2008 13:53

I love the name Seth - always think of Seth from The OC when I hear it.

TheFallenMadonna · 14/06/2008 13:52

I didn't really mean unusual. That would John or Peter round here. I mean, well, not John or Peter...

Anyway. I like it

getbackinyouryurtjimjams · 14/06/2008 13:50

I know 3 Seth's in their 20's. All nice blokes. (none working on the land!)

mydhissocute · 14/06/2008 13:40

I really don't think its unusual. There are 4 in my m&t group.

mydhissocute · 14/06/2008 13:39

It is Jewish. Son of adam and eve (hence given to sons when an elder child has died)

TheFallenMadonna · 14/06/2008 13:32

I do like it, and I'm not really one for 'unusual' names.

Heffagooday · 14/06/2008 13:31

I like it (mostly because of Cold Comfort Farm though!).

Sunflower100 · 14/06/2008 11:40

I LOVE it and am contemplating it myself for next (if a boy)!!! Knew a Seth in his 20s and he was a brilliant bloke.
If you like it go for it!

popmum · 14/06/2008 11:38

jewish name isn't it?
