Seth????

[RIBS]

What do you think of Seth? (obv for a boy!!)I like old names and think its a bit different as dont know anyone with that name. But it does conjure up images of an old gamekeeper with huge sideburns and looks a bit like cat weasel (think im showing my age!!)

Actually to me it conjures up images like this....

Haven't you seen Cold Comfort Farm?

I think of a 'baddie' in a film for some reason...but when I asked for name advice someone said my name choice sounded like a car! They were right, but I'm still going with it. Surely when they see a cute baby with the name, they will not think of a car. Same with you!

It does conjure up a bit of a Cold Comfort Farm image, but I also know a boy (I think he's about 9 or 10) called Seth - quite like it.

I really don't like, I don't why, sorry. I've a little boy called Seth who is now about 9 and it still hasn't grown on me!!!! Nothing to do with the boy he's not horrid or anything it just doesn't sound "nice"

Although if you've got some long double barralled load of syllables surname it may be a nice plain balance to go with it.

Sorry but it makes me thik of unnatural acts with livestock.

Noooo!! But I think I may have to see it!!
Do you think its a bit old for a baby tho? You cant shorten or cute it up a bit (Sethy is a definate no!) Which I suppose will be of benefit when it gets older. Il have to have another look at that pic!!

X posted. Im going to have to see this film? It sounds bizarre!
Cargirl: Were you unsure about the name to start off with?

It's a book, originally, RIBS (and very funny). Here: Cold comfort farm.

very very popular. Choose it if you like it but not if you want something a bit different.

Yes always unsure about it! Although I know another boy a bit older called Silas and I find that worse!

I wonder if it's the "th" ending is it more usual on girls names, does it sound soft. Also if he has a speech impediment he could call himself "sef" Quite common in the accent around here to say "f" instead of "th" (which really irritates me tbh)

very very american

It's very rustic - as a friend of mine said when another friend called her son Seth, "he'll end up working on the land" (not that there's anything wrong with that...). But as is often the way with names you don't like but are attached to people you do like it's grown on me. So I would vote yes, but be prepared for some raised eyebrows.

SETH!

PS, I know a 3 year old Seth and I actully really do like the name

I quite like it but I also think of someone a bit malevolent when I hear it ... Why is that? I am sure knowing a cute toddler with the name could change the associations for me though!

Yeah thats the thing its a very old sounding name.

jewish name isn't it?

I LOVE it and am contemplating it myself for next (if a boy)!!! Knew a Seth in his 20s and he was a brilliant bloke.
If you like it go for it!

I like it (mostly because of Cold Comfort Farm though!).

I do like it, and I'm not really one for 'unusual' names.

It is Jewish. Son of adam and eve (hence given to sons when an elder child has died)

I really don't think its unusual. There are 4 in my m&t group.

I know 3 Seth's in their 20's. All nice blokes. (none working on the land!)

I didn't really mean unusual. That would John or Peter round here. I mean, well, not John or Peter...

Anyway. I like it

I love the name Seth - always think of Seth from The OC when I hear it.
