Seth is a great name.

BonsoirAnna · 19/05/2009 08:44

They are all far too "literary farm hand" for me! I like names that are more sophisticated. But each to his/her own!

My brother (who I metioned earlier) was named after Jethro Tull, the inventor of the Seed drill not the band. Yes, he did have that whole Jeff/Geoff confusion and I think he was picked on a bit but I think he likes his name now

Does anybody read "Cold Comfort Farm" these days?

I have a ds (nearly 2) called Amos, so i love that and we are considering Jethro for another ds. Dont like Seth much though

FrankMustard · 19/05/2009 00:01

...must quickly add, before you all think I'm cruel, that ds2 has a lisp, so I'm not being horrid, just practical!!!

FrankMustard · 18/05/2009 23:44

Only problem with Seth is if he develops a lisp......

lol at "No, Not Geoff!"

oh I am so glad I have completed my family and don't have to think about baby names...it's just too hard!!!

MrsMerryHenry · 18/05/2009 23:40

I knew a Jethro. Lovely guy. But easy to take the piss out of. Everyone called him...

(wait for it)

(waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiit for it...)

What rhymes with 'Jethro'?

Deathrow.

Poor love.

I was thinking Jethro could be shortened to the funkier Jeth but then of course he would spend his life going "no not Geoff..."

Sidge · 18/05/2009 23:38

Seth is OK but round here would get called Seff!

FrankMustard · 18/05/2009 23:36

Seth would be my preference, but there are quite a few Seths around at the moment
Jethro makes me think of Beverley HIllbillies too
Amos - makes me think of a guy with an Abe Lincolm beard for some reason!

Servalan · 18/05/2009 23:35

Seth is a fab name.

Don't personally like the names Amos or Jethro

muffle · 18/05/2009 23:30

Seth is my fave of those.

Jethro just too "farm hand". Amos - meh

beanieb · 18/05/2009 23:29

My brother is Jethro and I have only met 3 in my life so I think you'd certainly not have many in the same classroom!

Tortington · 18/05/2009 23:27

seth is normal

amos - reminds me of emerdale farm - and i didn't ever watch it

jethro is a bit redneck

Thunderduck · 18/05/2009 23:25

I love Seth and Jethro but not Amos.

Ledodgy · 18/05/2009 22:39
  • Seth I mean not Setho!
Ledodgy · 18/05/2009 22:39

Setho. Jethro reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies.

CandleQueen · 18/05/2009 22:36

Seth is a favourite of mine.
Jethro reminds me of the mucky Cornish "comedian".
