Jareth

I've had the name Jareth for nearly 22 years now and I still do not know how to feel about it. On one hand my name can be confusing if there is a Jared near by or can be misunderstood as that name. However, I feel like it brings a certain uniqueness and mystery. A name not only rare and different but also one of the greatest singers (who also happens to be in a fantastic classic movie) of the 1980's and 1990's. The name definitely makes me feel special and perhaps even important. Besides, my whole name fits quite nicely. I could not imagine myself being called anything else!

I named my son this because it is unusual, yet easy to spell - and very masculine. He is now eleven, and still loves the name - particularly since seeing 'Labyrinth' where David Bowie plays his namesake
