Seth

• short, sweet, masculine, ages well, not "dorky" can fit most anybody
• I've loved the name Seth since I was seven years old.  It's nice and short, but not boring at all.  Seth sounds like he would be smart, a little shy, but very friendly.
• a simple, delicate name, appropriate for an angel (even Hollywood thought so--City of Angels).
• simple, with a beautiful history
• Funny, because I used to loathe this name. I thought, "What kind of name is Seth?" The name has truly grown upon me, and now I love it.
• Seth Alexander: Seth is short and simple. Alexander means helper and defender of man kind.
• Seth Gabriel : This is my son's name
• Seth William: I know,I know, it's not to uncommon but I just like the sound of it! Seth is a warm strong sounding name!

Seth is most commonly used as a Biblical name. It comes from Hebrew meaning "placed; appointed." In the Old Testament, Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, and was so named because he was thought to have been appointed a replacement for his dead older brother Abel.

Seth (more commonly Set, but also known as Sheth, Setan or Seteh) is also an Egyptian god, coming from the Greek translation of Sutekh, transcribed from the hieroglyphics. Set was the god of desert, storms, and foreigners.
