Jed- thoughts on the name?

39 weeks and still can't decide, we've been going back and forth on names through ths pregnancy. One name I keep going back to is Jed but I'm still unsure as I've mentioned it to a few people who haven't been keen on it.
Also if anyone has any suggestions on middle names, I'm thinking something long

My brother is Jethro shortened to Jed

I really like it however the name will always make me think of Alan Partridge

My DB is Jeremy but has always been Jez. Jed is quite cool but it does sound like it should be short for something.

He will either be impossibly cool, or a bit, you know, odd. No middle ground Grin
Quite like it. Short and fun. Definitely need a longer middle name.

I really like it - it’s quite cool.

I know of a Jed, I like it

I know a Jed - he’s in his 30s now and has always been the coolest guy I’ve known!

I really like it. I went to school with a Jeddy, who was lovely.

I really really hope your surname isn't Ward or Wood Grin

RedDwarves · 01/02/2019 09:08

I don't like it, because I went to school with a Jed who was an utter weirdo. I can't get past the association with him!

I like it. Also Jeb (short for Jebadiah to give him a 'proper name'). Both strong names.

Nonameyet1 · 01/02/2019 09:02

I like Jed - it’s sweet and will age well.

Yes agree with a long middle name:
Jed Alexander?
