Why are there so many people in the US called Seth?
Obviously the MacFarlanes were a well known Hewbrew clan, but what about the rest of them?
There are plenty of American Gentiles with Old Testament names like David,Danial, Joseph,Benjamin, and Joshua. So why not Seth?
Indeed, it just happens to be quite uncommon elsewhere. It sounds odd to an outsider. Names like Chad are quite American even though it is Anglo/Welsh in origin.
I think these trend happen these days more becuase there and they look through baby name books and site an they like the sound of it.
