Years and years ago we were on holiday a d there was a family with a toddler son called Jed. He was the cutest little kid and somewhere in the back of my mind I've always hankered after my own little Jed.
Do you think Jed is a name in its own right or is it short for something? And if So, what?
Dh thinks Jed is a ridiculous name so it's probably a no but I'm not quite giving up on it yet.

This is my sons name! Short for jediah. It wasn't a particularly cute baby name but he's 9 now and his friends think it's a cool name. It's not for everyone. But it's different. Can't say I've ever met anyone else with the same name.

There are hundreds of boys names Jed without being short for anything, so it's not a question of whether it's a name or not - it is.

It started as a short form of Jedidah, and I have known it used by a couple of Geralds and a Gerard.

I don't think it's ridiculous because it's my brother's name. Saying that, I'm not a huge fan of it, but it's definitely a name!
