It’s strong, short, and just unusual enough it’s not common like so many Bible names. Reply Morgan Apr 14 at 9:05 am I thought Seth was classic and beautiful, but also strong and wise. Reply Rushelle Feb 3 at 11:38 am Western novel Reply Elizabeth Jun 21 at 2:04 pm I chose Seth because in the bible Seth was Adam third son. Seth is my third son Reply Mimi Jun 13 at 12:50 pm I wanted a biblical name of a man with a peaceful life. Reply Joy Jun 8 at 4:16 am My first 2 boys are called Ely and Caleb so I wanted another old testament name to keep in context. Seth still sounds fairly modern and is a simple name for a child to spell and say. Reply Dallas Apr 11 at 1:32 pm I loved the name Seth! Short & simple but also a very important bible character. After the tragedy with Cain and Abel, God chose Seth to make a new beginning (the first of a few). Also, God spoke clearly to my husband that our sons name would be Seth. Reply Vanessa Apr 11 at 1:22 pm A very special family member whose life was cut short in his 20s was near and dear to my heart, so our firstborn is his namesake.
