I hope to see more of Seymour. It’s a bit old mannish, but if vintage names like Augustus, Otis, Clyde, and Albert are rebounding, so can Seymour. Also, don’t name your daughter this.

Jane Fonda's middle name is Seymour... she was probably named after the Queen of England Jane Seymour.

This name is so awesome. I love it. No one is using it right now, but I'd say it's due for a comeback. It's in my top 5 boy names.

I agree Seymour is a bit old, but saying it would be better fit for a girl is insane! How dare you NB for even suggesting it! I think Seymour would be really cute on a little boy and could see it alongside all the Walters, Alberts, and Edwards nowadays.

I LOVE the name Seymour and I don't find it old mannish at all. Maybe because, I've never met anyone named Seymour, but I think it can be fresh again along side August, Silas, and Isaiah.

I am planning to use this for a character! In reality, not a fave but I feel it fits said character.

I think this would be ADORABLE on a little girl, it has all the makings of the popular unisex names of today ie, Sawyer

No way, NB--this is NMS, but it would be awful on a girl!
