I also prefer Geoffrey. Once I was startled to meet a Jeffery, which almost put me off my lunch. Nice guy; deserved better.

Given enough sons - more than eleven! - I'd consider using Geoffrey for its wonderfully medieval vibe.

I have to get name spellings correct as part of my job, and have found that Jeffery is not uncommon in the US.

Yeah, my dad's name was spelled Jeffery, which I always thought was a weird spelling.
