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.

Fwiw, for Zebedee I wouldn't bat an eyelid as it is a name but Jamiroquai isn't even a name, it's a fucking band!

I knew a Muslim Zeb at school, short for Aurangzeb, who was a tyrannical ruler in Mughal times. My dad was always a bit about that name.
In my kids' school there is a Gujarati Meet, (which the kids think is odd as it is said exactly like "meat" and they are vegetarian. It sounds very different in Gujarati, but westerners cannot usually say that "t" sound.)
We also have a Phoenix, and an Indigo. There used to be a Moreblessing and a Gaius too. My kids have unusual names, as did I growing up, I hated mine, and changed it eventually, but not to anything ordinary either.
I don't have a problem with odd names, I've also met a baby named Seven because it the parents' lucky number. The mum had an older child named Chloe, which I was surprised about. But I do find it weird when people from other cultures pick a name for their child which is pronounced unfortunately in the resident country.

My great grandfather was an Ambrose. One of my boys has it as a middle name in his memory. Old fashioned perhaps but surely not that odd.

My brother's mn is Ambrose. He has used it in favour of his far more common first name for about 30 years. He is a quirky chap, an unusual name suits him.
