Jethro

What are your thoughts on [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]? What vibe does it give, what associations do you have (positive or negative), and what would you expect a brother to [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] to be named?

Thanks!

I don’t really like it, I don’t know why it just doesn’t seem like a name to me.

[name_f]My[/name_f] only association is the father in law of [name_u]Moses[/name_u]. However it does sound a little like ‘death row’ which is slightly off putting

Expected brother names…Boaz, [name_u]Zephaniah[/name_u], [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m], [name_m]Enoch[/name_m], [name_u]Seth[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Abraham[/name_m], [name_m]Asriel[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_m]Joel[/name_m], [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], [name_m]Mordecai[/name_m], [name_m]Absalom[/name_m], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], [name_u]Jesse[/name_u], [name_m]Obed[/name_m]

I like Jethro!! He seems very like vintage-cowboy-chic to me, and feels very southern flair-y.

If I had to name a brother to [name_m]Jethro[/name_m], I would pick… (mostly other cowboy/southern-ish names!!)

[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_u]Wyatt[/name_u]
[name_u]Montgomery[/name_u]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]

It does! I knew it sounded like something but couldn’t put my finger on what

I absolutely love [name_m]Jethro[/name_m], I think of the guy off of NCIS when I hear it, I also get southern vibes.

[name_m]Jethro[/name_m] always makes me think of the band [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] [name_m]Tull[/name_m], which I think must have been one that my dad talked about. I couldn’t tell you anything about them, so it’s a totally neutral association. A quick Google just taught me that they were named after an 18th century agriculturalist by that name :woman_shrugging:t2:
I don’t know if it’s a biblical name, but I might expect a brother of [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] to be named [name_u]Elijah[/name_u], [name_u]Amos[/name_u] or [name_m]Jabez[/name_m]. I also might expect a [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] to have siblings with more modern ‘cool’ names like [name_m]Bram[/name_m] and well, erm [name_u]Beck[/name_u] to stick with the musical theme!

[name_m]Jethro[/name_m] is such an unusual combination of sounds, I wouldn’t use it myself but it would be very interesting indeed to meet a little [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]!

I love [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]!
One of my dad’s friends is called [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]. He is such a great guy. Funny, bright and caring. I only have good associations with the name.

I feel like a brother for [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] would be:
[name_u]Lyle[/name_u]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_m]Jarvis[/name_m]
[name_u]Leland[/name_u]
[name_m]Byron[/name_m]
[name_u]Selby[/name_u]
[name_m]Norman[/name_m]
[name_m]Haskell[/name_m]

I know two little boys named [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]. It’s not a name I loved off the bat, despite the positive biblical association, but I’ve grown to like it because of the ones I know. One family calls their son [name_u]Jet[/name_u], which is fun.

Possible brother names:
Abram/Bram
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
Sylvan/Sylvanus
[name_m]Lazarus[/name_m]
[name_u]Peregrine[/name_u]

Jethro has a cool, edgy feel - it’s got a slightly American vibe, biblical and outdoorsy, but also a bit rock and roll?

I think I’d expect brothers to be:

Jethro and…

Sylas
Holden
Shepherd
Zakkai
Malachi
Elias
Beckett

I don’t like it it sounds like someone casually saying “Did you throw up?”– “Jethro up?”

I don’t really have any associations. It is a nice name I suppose. I would nickname a [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] “Jay” and I would name him [name_m]Bram[/name_m], [name_u]Holden[/name_u] or [name_m]Johan[/name_m]. Generally is not really my style but I like it for others. It is a nice name though, again.

I think [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] is a fun name! To me, it has a country vibe with historical undertones and of course it’s in the bible so [name_u]Christian[/name_u] connections too. I think of the agricultural revolution figure [name_m]Jethro[/name_m] [name_m]Tull[/name_m], after whom the band was named. I named one of my old drakes (male ducks) [name_m]Jethro[/name_m]. I would expect Jethro’s brother to have a classic or vintage feeling name or another bible name - maybe a less common one.

It sounds too similar to death row which feels like a negative connotation to the name
