I really like it (it's a family name for me) and I've been surprised to see it doesn't get much love here. I don't feel it's insubstantial at all. Anyone can be dorky, but the name itself does not give off that impression to me and I've never felt it lispy.
For me,
Seth is handsome and grounded and warm. I only know one in real life; he's a good looking guy; professional and ambitious in his work; down-to-earth and fun-loving with family and friends, a "guy's guy", and he's a really devoted "softy" of a father to his girls. I worked with his girls and, when they moved away, he wrote me the loveliest thank you message (as an addition to the one his wife had already written me); surprised me how heart-felt and eloquent it was. I already liked the name before I knew him and this personal association certainly didn't hurt.
An additional association is the character played by
Nicolas Cage in "City of Angels"; that one doesn't hurt either. :)
As far as combos go, I enjoy
Seth Beauregard, but
Beauregard doesn't get much love either. So...
