Thoughts on Jeffrey

[17caterpillars1mouse]

I've been thinking alot about Jeffrey lately. Yes it's a bit dated, but I still think it's a lovely name and Jeff could be quite cool in a retro chic kinda way, no?

Thoughts?

I like Geoffrey and Geoff. My mum used to have a little phonic rhyme for it that stuck in my head. I don’t know why. A Gyh, an eh, an oh and two fuffs!

No

Dahmer.

The MN nickname for our little hacking scandal

Love it, I know of a 6 year old Jefferson, but prefer Geoffrey /Jeffery

I prefer the Geoffrey spelling.

There were lots of Jeffreys and Geoffreys when I was at school and I used to dream that I would one day have a son with that name.

But that was in the 1960s. Don't care for it now - seems really old-fashioned.

Instantly reminds me of the old Toys R Us adverts.... "millions of Jeffries all under under one roof" (was never sure if the actual lyrics

There's millions, said Jeffrey, all under one roof. It's called Toys R Us, Toys r Us, Toys R Us.

I have an uncle Geoff and I work with a Geoff.

It's fine.

I prefer George.

Love it. Love Jefferson more.

Perve name.

I like it. Prefer Geoffrey maybe. I know a lovely teen one.

Thought Bungle & Zippy when I read it (‘ooooh Jeffrey!’). then got the whole Epstein/Dahmer thing. Maybe Jefferson as pp suggested, slightly less 70’s creepy TV presenter/serial killer & could still be shortened to Jeff?

Geoffrey is my FIL’s name and DH desperately wanted to call DS it but I wouldn’t even entertain it. It’s the name of a middle aged man like FIL, not a child.

Geoffrey yes, never Jeffrey.

Jeffree star is an insanely rich and successful YouTubed/ beauty guru/ make up mogul / business man in America, so I expect the name will become more and more popular!
He’s quite controversial though so just worth thinking about that.
Personally I like the name though!

I love Jeff or Jefferson but absolutely not Jeffrey.

LOVE it. Classic and strong

My partner is called Jeffrey, shortened to Jeff. He said don't do it! He likes Jeff but hates Jeffrey. He was born in the 70s so by then it had gone out of fashion.

brilliant name.one of the greatest people on earth is called geoffrey.
