i've been a "Jeff" for 42 years now and like it. One thing I don't like is that I will have an "old man's name" in about 20 years since there are very few children being named Jeff.

not too many Jeffs in the UK - more popular seems to be Geoffrey - a spelling which really gets me mad. I hate to be called Jeffrey. Jeff is much better.

Awesome name. It's hard to screw up and make sound stupid. Also VERY happy It's not "Geoff", or "Gorf" as i've heard it used...

The language origin of the name "Salma" stems from the Arabic word "Salaam", meaning peace. It is often confused with "Selma" which is a Christian name. i've seen some baby name'sIt's list the language origin as Spanish, and have given it the meaning "ambitious"; this is completely incorrect and likely a result of the Mexican actress Salma Hayek being so popular. Salma Hayek, incidently, has a Lebanese father which is why she has a Middle Eastern first name.
