As someone named Jeffrey, you might as well just name your kid Jeffrey/Jeffery. It just sounds better, and more complete as a name.
But despite my hatred for this name as a first name, Jefferson as a last name is pretty cool.

My husband's name is Jefferson and it suits him perfectly. He is very successful and many people comment on his name and are impressed by it. I would never have liked the name had I not met him but because he is such a strong male he carries the name beautifully. I love the name.
