I know two men named Jethro. Well, one is a child actually. The son of Jethro.

Anyway, they are Amish. 'Taint got no monies.

I do agree with the fact that people's perceptions about names in general is a relevant source of discussion though. But perception is regional in my opinion.

Jethro is not even in the top thousand and the last time it was was in 1913. So any claim that richer, more educated people are now becoming attracted to it has no basis. Personally I feel that its extreme hillbilly image is going to prevent it from gaining any popularity, but only time will tell.

I automatically think of the Beverly Hillbillies, which leads me to think of Petticoat Junction, which means I now have the theme song to that show stuck in my head. . . and images of the Gabor sisters and their lovely accents.

And I always mix up the Gabor sisters and Charo, too.

Great, now all I can think about is the movie Thumbelina, and Charo singing "on the Road"...

geez, what Jethro will do to you. ;)
