Jethro?

[Sophronia]

Do you think this is usable?

I quite like it. Better than the usual Alfie, Jack and Ben etc.

Yes

I think Gibbs has brought some attention to it, in a way that outweighs Tull. So more useable now than it has been for the previous 30 years or so

I hear jethro, I think tull. I am quite old though, so won't be a peer group thing.

Crude comedian springs to mind for me, sorry.

🤢

Tull springs to mind but I still rather like it!

It reminds me a bit of ‘death row’

Jethro to me sound very Appalachian, duelling banjos and not very intelligent etc. All brawn and no brain

I have the same negative impression as Antonin just described.

I also think of Jethro Tull buuut I absolutely LOVE the name Jethro! Besides when I think of Jethro Tull I then think of Ian Anderson instead anyway.

Funny someone mentioned Gibbs. I was watching NCIS this week and said to dh I really like the name Jethro.

I had such a mad crush on a boy called Jethro. His mates used to call him, 'Jeth' and I thought that was the coolest. So, I have a soft spot for the name!

Makes me think of a stoner kid wearing clothes filled with bomber holes.

You'd have to get used to him getting called "Jeff-ro" by all the people who can't manage a "th". Plus the "Tull" associations.

Depends where you live. If you live in the South West, particularly Cornwall, people will think you have named him after the comedian Jethro, which may not be the best name association.

I went to nursery with a Jethro in 1979/1980. I've never met one since. I think it's a great name. It's a strong name.

I love it but dh vetoed it. I immediately think ncis.

I think comedian. It’s a big no from me.

He is a really awful Cornish comedian so a big no.
I like Jed and used to know a rather nice one

Would fit in well down the fruit and veg aisle at Waitrose.

Yes, @CornishMaid1 I live in the South West and it does make me think of the comedian first 😕

Nope.

a) Cornish idiot who thinks he’s a comedian

b) 70s prog rock band

c) inventor of seed drill

Awful name.

Seem to remember one of Nick Cave's sons being a Jethro.
Depending on musical taste, maybe that ups the cool factor?

I quite like it. IRL, have only ever known one (now 14ish), so definitely underused for small boys in the central southern region!

Oh I absolutely love it! Nothing would put me off using it
