What do you think of the name Jethro

[beaniesteve]

Well?

Definitely that comedian

mainly becuase my mates dad used to write his'jojes' with him and she thought she was a celeb just by knowing him....

And ...

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bored!

'jojes'

though 'jojes as accurate imo

at rainydaywednesday

Noooooooooo

Jethro Tull wrote a book called 'Horse Hoeing Husbandry' and helped to start the agrarian revolution, he deffo invented a seed drill FDJ Q/ALIRJG

sorry I just fell asleep there, just as I doid when I studied this for O level history.

Up to that point I wanted to be a history teacher........

laidbackinengland I would love to know your favourite boys names then. Sounds like we have similar taste in names and DH and I can't agree on one for DS1 who is due on Sunday.

Jethro is cool but I think it helps if you like somewhere rural like I do (there are a few Jethro's around here )

Sending a link to this thread to him ought to amuse you for a couple of minutes?

not good IMO
sorry

Despite being a great NCIS fan and my love for the character that Mark Hammond ( I think) plays, which is called Jethro...the name always reminds me more of Beverly Hillbillie's Character, lol...so....not a name I am personally to keen on, sorry...

bigbadmouse.... I think you live near me...I am North Devon ? Country names for decent country folk !

I think country bumpkin when I hear it-sorry!

laidbackinengland - yes I do...on the border . Absolutely right....proper country names for proper janners country folk

Fab quote Seeker - I love that book and film!

It does make me think of Jethro Tull but I think it could be quite a cool name!

And I live near North Devon (well, north West Devon) too!

Really heffa? if you are NW Devon then you must be quite near me? Nice country mn name you have there too! Its quite a country-fest on this thread isn't it? See.... all you have to do is shout Jethro and we all turn up

Bigbadmouse - DS1 is starting school in Hartland in September and a very opinionated kind friend told me that 'people there eat their own young'

definitely think of that rascist west country comedian. I think of Jethro Tull too, but would agree with the "hippyish and travelly" pronouncement.

laidbackinengland - Really??? Hartland's nice IMO. Is your friend from Woolfardisworthy by any chance? Funnily enough I have been snubbed by a few people becasue I decided against sending my DD1 to her designated school in September and have sent her to a different village's school (makes I laugh it does!)

Furthest school I looked at towards your way was Morwenstow after that we need to go through immigration I believe....

i'm not from devon

somerset me lol (though currently away at uni)

so this is a rural thread

Bigbadmouse - do you like the name Wilf ? It's one my possibles for a future boy ? (have 3 DS's so far)

BigBadMouse - it was the name Jethro that made me open the thread! It clearly attracts rural types

Hartland's beautiful! I live just north of Dartmoor. It feels quite north to me because I grew up east of Exeter. I'm loving it up here so far though, and looking forward to visiting the north Devon beaches more in the summer (the not-so-touristy ones).

wilf is good

have a grandad wilf

heffa - are you near Okie then? Exeter is very southerly

Laidbackinengland - I think it's a very good name but I can't have it for various reasons. I want Isaac, I will have Isaac (somehow ). I just need to talk DH round to it since he told his dad and his dad said 'You can't call him that! (after saying it was a nice name 2 years ago ). In the meantime, I think I need to post a thread on here!

How about Seth? or Caleb?

I really love the name Roscoe too.
