I like it but...

...it's too rock and roll for me. I see it as very far removed from its Old-Testament/Puritan/down-to-earth roots. It's totally interchangeable with the name Axel or Jagger or Cruz. It oozes motorcycle. I think its cool. I'd for sure think any Jethro's parents were old-school rockers, no matter what Jethro himself looked like. I do not see it as hillbilly in any way, shape or form.

Hmmm. I am so un-rock and roll that I don't have that association personally. I could easily see a classical musician with the name.
I am glad you do not see it as hillbilly, because I do not either. In fact, I was in Tenleytown (in DC) the other day which is a very affluent area, and there was a dad in Chipotle who was calling to his little toddler, calling out the name Jethro. It was a golden moment for namenerds everywhere.
