Is Seth really that unusual of a name?

So many people in Hawaii have never heard of this name. Whenever I tell them what my son's name is they want me to repeat it, spell it and tell them how I came up with it.





Maybe it's just unusual here in Hawaii. .

Is Seth really that unusual of a name?
It's a fairly common name here where i live in NJ, i've known at least 3 Seth's. Yea maybe ur right and it's just unusual there in Hawaii. Hope this helps, :D.

Hawaiian people may not know that name

In 2000, it was rank 63, that was the highest since 1983


No, it's not that unusual





It's cool, that in Hawaii, it's an unusual name
Reply:Hmm... I don't know. It's not that unusual but it's not a name you hear everyday. My neighbors have a son named Seth, and personally, I really like the name. Just explain to them that it's from the Bible. Maybe then they'll get it.





Are these like native people/speakers that are asking? Perhaps it's not a name they can grasp in their native tongue, like most European names would probably sound to us. Otherwise I would think most Americans would at least have heard of it before.
Reply:I live in Hawaii and my cousins name is Seth and I dated a guy here named Seth (granted I am from Wyoming and in the military) but I don't think that it is that unusual and I actually like that name.
Reply:No,Seth is not really an unusual name. However, you don't really hear of a lot of people naming their child Seth. That's probably why. I personally like the name myself (duh!! as you do to or your child wouldn't have the name...LOL).

Reply:There was a boy a year ahead of me in school named Seth, so it's not that uncommon to me. I actually like it a lot. :) At least you know he's not one of 20 Seths in his class!

Reply:No, it's not unusual. You hear the name in video games and movies, but I don't believe I've actually met anyone named Seth. It must be just those Hawaiians!
