Seth 1

Definitely a hot name.

People I know say they like the name Seth because it’s not too common but not too rare. It’s just a good name.

I like this name! It has an interesting origin (whether you go for the Biblical or the Egyptian version), and is common enough that most people have heard it before, but not too common that it's boring. I have a friend named Seth and the most common misnames he gets are "Steph" and "Seb", but it's not too frequent. The "it sounds like other words" thing people comment about really depends on your local accent, I think. The only downside I find is that it's a hard name to nickname, since it's just one syllable.

Yawn. Boring name. Sounds like someone saying "sex" with a lisp. I imagine someone called Seth to have a lisp and just be really nerdy and dull with no sense of style.

Nope, sounds like s*x.

Seth is certainly an underused name!

I love this name. Perfect combo of cute and masculine. Will age perfectly.

One of my favorite names! A combo I enjoy would be Seth Alexander, the meaning is nice. It would mean "appointed defender of men".

I really like this name! It's short, easy to pronounce, and has no bad connotations. Love it!

Cute name.

The name is somewhat spiritual to me. And I kind of like it.

There's something I like about this name, it has a charm to it!

Big meh. I've known too many of them. Jaded, faded, rightly out of style.

It's a fine name. Simple, not my favorite.

I can NEVER remember if it's pronounced 'see-th' or 'seh-th' and I don't know why, so I'm a bit afraid of the name. Nonetheless I absolutely adore it, I think it's a beautiful name.

I've loved the name since I was a college student in Austin during the mid-80s. It was popular for newborns then, and unpretentious. I moved back to the East Coast afterwards, and rarely heard it. My first son was named for my dad, but my second son was always going to be Seth. I didn't get much support on it, but I still think it's strong, timeless, and masculine. If he had turned out to have a lisp, then I would have done him no favors!

This name is in my opinion very fun to pronounce. I used to have a friend named Seth in junior high and whenever he came over my dad would repeatedly say his name out loud very intensely because he thought it sounded odd. It used to make my friend weirded out and me laugh. Great name. Also, Seth Rogen is amazing.

My absolute favourite boy's name and has been for about twenty years.
Was a long standing character in a British soap "Emmerdale Farm" (later "Emmerdale") along with fellow farmer, Amos - another name I love (Amos Lee is a cool bearer of this name, although his birth name is Ryan).
Would not think twice about naming a child this.

This name is nice. I think it is a great name because it just always gives you a good feeling.

I'm Seth and I think I'm getting used to it now since it aint judged harshly... I'm cool now. I have to admit Seth Rogen is my role model. He is great.

This is a nice, simple, yet interesting and not too common name. Every Seth I've ever met has long hair and loves heavy metal, and so I associate the name with that kind of lifestyle and I think it's cool!

I honestly love the name Seth, and would love to name my child Seth :)

Seth is quite possibly the most sexiest masculine name out there in my opinion. ;)

Nice name but... rhymes with Meth and sounds like sex. Th instead of x.

My son is named Seth. I learned that the meaning was "a gift" "a grant".
So many great comments about the name and how it sounds and what you picture. He is now grown and is to be married in less than 2 weeks. He is genuine, deeply loving, thoughtful, caring, would help anyone, brave, not a huge talker but when he speaks it's well thought-out and profound, looks at things in a broad prospective and thinks of the future by what he does, intensely aware of others feelings, very loyal to family and friends, devoted, very hard-working, strong. Someone wrote in sorts that it takes someone unique to carry this name, and this Seth sure carries it very very well!

To me, Seth is a very attractive name. It reminds me of outdoorsy guys who are very cool and not in need of being the center of attention. I think it sounds like a healthy, fit, and happy guy. It is masculine but not hardened.

Our son's name is Seth :) He's still in his toddler years at the moment, but the name always reminded me of a mischievous lil guy and some one in a band also, lol.
My husband chose this name for him and it suits him. He is a blue eyed blonde haired ball of energy with a sweet nature and a caring heart.
We are Aussies and sometimes I get asked to repeat his name and it comes out like steff! I wouldn't change his name it suits him perfectly even of his mummy has to repeat herself :D.

This name connotes many wonderful things: Cool, funny, confident, good, amiable, social, eminent, and super-sexy-hot. It's the perfect name.

To me, it sounds strong, handsome, and mysterious, but also a little dangerous. I think it takes a certain kind of person to carry the name Seth.

I love this name. It sounds so masculine.

Just no. Seth rhymes with "meth" and sounds like the name of a stupid boy who runs into walls.

Cool name. It's masculine, brave, and caring, everything you could want in a boy's name. Too bad it's getting popular.

The name Seth sounds really energetic and nice. I think it's a great name.

I love this name for a BOY. It makes me think of a quiet handsome guy who is sweet, funny, a bit mysterious and very romantic.

This name is awesome, I might name my future son this! Isn't there another Seth much later in the New Testament? I thought there was, but I can't find it.

I am currently planning out a novel, and I named the protagonist this, just because I don't plan on ever having children and I need an excuse to use it. The name 'Seth' to be brings up the image of a gentle, masculine person, who is somewhat of a lady's man. I'm just afraid it will become overused.

This name screams "blah" to me. It's sooo boring and plain. No "WOW!" factor.

Native French speakers can't say "th" (the sound does not exist in French) so "Seth" comes out sounding like, "set" which is the phonetic spelling for their word for "seven". Many British anglophones have a tough time saying "th" as well and "Seth" comes out sounding like, "sef". So if you are married to a Frenchman or Brit, or have plans to live in either of those countries for very long, you might want to bypass this name for your little boy! (Even though it is my son's name and I love it!)

My son's name is Seth. It's a tough name for bullies to find a way to turn into something horrible -- other than "chef" and "bad breath Seth" -- which were bearable for him during his tender years. No-one asks how to spell it. It reminds people of cowboys. Girls love it. Conjures up the strong silent type. All in all, a Seth is a person you can depend on to be calm when all hell breaks lose and they are fiercely loyal to their friends and family. Oh, and in regular, walk around life, NO-ONE points out the Biblical references. People just assume it's just a cool name from some old Western.

I've never liked this name, personally. I'm not sure why. Something about the way it sounds I guess.

Never really had anything against the name "Seth", although I think it is a tad bit on the boring side.

I think Seth is a really good name to give to your kid.

This name reminds me of a basketball player.

Seth has always been one of my favorite names. I think it's an awesome name for a guy!

Seth is a handsome name for a boy and it is not overused but that doesn't matter. Overall I'd give it a 9 2/3 or 10.

How many people on here agree that "Seth Ashton" sounds pretty hot? (It's okay if you oppose it!)

Seth is such a nice name for a boy. It is increasing in popularity but isn't over used.

The name Seth reminds me of some kid with an eye infection for some odd reason.
