Zebedee. ZEBEDEE - really?

[Bambambini]

Child at theme park the other day? What do you think? We raised our eyebrows and probably initially eye rolled. Or is Zebedee obviously giong to be a cool cat? Guess Zee has a certain ring to it.

it's a traditional biblical name - I quiet like it

as long as his siblings aren't called Brian, Dougal and Florence

^^That's what Zebedee means to me (70's child)

oh and it's shortened to Zeb rather than Zee

Boing here as well

My son, 8, has a Zebedee in his class.

The first time his mum shouted him on the playground there were a few and some magic roundabout references but he's a really nice little boy and everyone is used to it. The kids call him Zeb.

It's quite funky. We once played in the park with a Moses.

There was a zebedee at my school. Went by Zeb.

I know 2 Zebs, one a young adult, and one a toddler.

Both are from quite religious families, siblings are Rachael, Benjamin, Zach etc.

It's hardly off the wall weird .

I have a mate called Zeb, as in Zebedee, but it was just a nickname his parents gave him and it stuck. his real name is Graham :)

I love it.

Zebedee and Moses were on my boy list…I was going through an intense hormonal hellfire Biblical name phase.

Perhaps Zebedee's parents are too young to have ever seen the Magic Roundabout, and don't know why people mutter "boing" to themselves when they hear his name.

I once heard a yummy mummy type calling out "Senna" to get he DSs attention. I guess someone in the family was an F1 fan, but all I could think of was laxatives.

Zeb Soanes the Radio 4 continuity/newsreader is a Zebedee :)

popular surname in parts of Somerset but never heard it as a first name.

I know a Zebedee. His brother is Ezekiel. Both solid Old Testament names. They go by Zeb and Zeke which I think are rather cool.

Yes I know a Senna - and they where F1 fans!

Zebedee is a Hebrew name - not that wacky - yes it was also a magic roundabout character but I still like it

I love it - it's a ridiculous name for a child IMO but that's just me, it does sound cool though.

I quite like it... But it does also scream "boing" to me!! Zeb is a cute nickname though.

Perhaps he's called Zebedee because he was born in the spring?

TTWK

We have friends in church with a Zebedee, NN Zeb. Obviously a churchy family but he pulls it off.

could be worse. could have had a girl and called her Ermintrude

I love Zebedee and I'm not one for wacky names usually. I've got a child with a ridiculously common name.

I really like boys' 'Z' names; Zach, Zeke, Xander etc. so love Zeb but Zebedee is, well Zebedee.
