On the Matter of Jeffrey

Freddie Raphael, who has not yet succumbed to pointlessness, says nobody called Jeffrey is ever any good. Wrong spelling. 'Jeff Goldblum,' I said. 'Oh he's all right, but that's Jeff, not Jeffrey,' he replied. About three hours later he conceded that Jeffrey Katzenberg wasn't all bad.

    Jeff Goldblum isn't any good.

    His whole career is based on an Adam West impression, ie. speaking the first half of... the... sentence....sloooooowly and-the-second-half-very-fast.-And-then-going-into-next-sentence-which-starts-fast-... and eeeeends.... sloooooow

    Wikipedia confirms the paucity of talented Jeffreys. Unless you count Dahmer.

    The really deeply dodgy version of the name is Jeffery - the nomenclatorial equivalent of a bow tie. The infallible sign of a chancer, phoney, prat - whoops sorry to all those lovely Jefferys and bow tie-wearers out there, I didn't mean you....

    Yes it's annoying when people spell their names in silly 'alternative' ways. Eh, Brian?

    I did hear Brit that Brian sang to himself so often the lyrics of YMCA that eventually they influenced the spelling of his christian name.

    I would join in the general disparaging, rubbishing and downgrading of the moniker Jeff but it happens to be the name of my brother in law.

    What sort of a poncey name is that for goodness sake.
