Hiya,

What's your thoughts on the name Jett for a boy? Would you automatically think Jet Li?

thanks :)

Agree with pp @Cbeebiesrehab, you clearly really like the name, and are happy to use it despite what everyone else thinks so I think that's all that matters.

Also - people will always make judgements on names based on washed up reality stars, film stars, people they know, people they hated in school... I didnt realise how many people I disliked until I tried to pick a baby name 😂 (and no I can confirm dds name is not that of a washed up reality star or their offspring!)

Agree only ever known black labradors called Jet.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/08/2019 21:16

The only Jett I can think of is Jett Reno in Star Trek Discovery, who is awesome and female.Grin

When you call his name in the park, you'll probably get half a dozen black Labradors come running.

I quite like it! It's the only one of Katie Price kids names I actually like

Greensleeves · 07/08/2019 22:05

Doesn't Katie bloody Price have a son called Jett? It's one of the more sensible of her children's names, but that's not saying much.

Usherusherusher · 07/08/2019 22:20

I know a Jethro nn Jett. I love that

Onesailwait · 07/08/2019 22:25

I like it, I live in Canada its very very popular here

Aethelthryth · 07/08/2019 22:31

Ghastly

YukoandHiro · 07/08/2019 22:32

Nope

Overseasmom100 · 07/08/2019 22:34

I like it sounds abit American

CallMeRachel · 07/08/2019 23:33

@user1493494961 you made me laugh out loud!! Grin

Jett isn't too bad, quirky I guess.

My first thought was also Katie Price (her girls are called Bunny & Princess) so definitely more of an alternative type name than the norm.

Gladiators Ready!

ReasonedCamper · 07/08/2019 23:43

It’s terrible, especially with two t s.

Jethro is good.

Ellmau · 07/08/2019 23:54

It makes me think of aeroplanes. And the song, Leaving On A Jet Plane.

OctopusNow · 07/08/2019 23:55

I know a Jett, he's from a family of kids who all have stupid names though.
The parents are pretentious twats who think they are very "wacky", they have a reputation in our village but I quite like them, in spite of it.

NerrSnerr · 07/08/2019 23:59

My first thought would be Gladiators, she was pretty cool but whenever I saw him I'd get the urge to say 'contenders ready....' in a Scottish accent.

libbynaughtz26 · 08/08/2019 00:13

Bit try hard

viques · 08/08/2019 00:14

I'll vote for Jett OP, on condition that you promise to call your next child Ski or Stream.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/08/2019 00:21

Or wash...

FredaNerkk · 08/08/2019 00:27

I like it.

If you don't like the associations, what about Rhett (lead male character in Gone With the Wind) or another short male name starting with J eg Jeff, Jon, or Jem

BikeRunSki · 08/08/2019 00:28

The only one i’ve known is an older lady who was Jet as a nickname for Jeanette.

JasonColbyStankers · 08/08/2019 00:33

I think it’s ok.

Alan Partridge approves as well.

I didn't know Katie Price had a dc called that but honestly it does sound like the kind of name that she would choose.
If you like the name however OP that is all that matters really.

🎼 When you’re a Jett, you’re a Jett all the way, from your first cigarette to your last dying day! 🎼😛
