HelpRe: Seth
in reply to a message by Puck
I loved it when I was in my early teens. Then I read somewhere that it was once common practice to use the name Seth for a child born after the death of a sibling, and after that it lost a lot of its sparkle. Now it comes across as quiet and sad to me.
Still, I like it more than Sam.
I'd also say it's a pale green, but that might just be because of Seth Green...

Interesting note about the use of this name - as that for a first born following a sibling's death. If not sad, perhaps auspicious, instead.
My mother miscarried just prior to my birth. I have occasionally wondered whether my presence retains any notion, emotion, or embodiment of my mother's tragic loss; however, as I have no evidence - I rarely reflect on this.
Nevertheless, I like the name Seth, if not all the more...
