It helps that I come across a seemingly endless supply of them at work, but I was thinking about the name Jed. Completely random, as I don’t know anybody by that name IRL nor even among MOLFs. SO always wanting an answer for that which I don’t know, but is currently mystifying my mind, I headed over here. Where I entered my query...
And guess what I saw?
Wait do mine eyes deceive me?
No.
They don’t.
That’s right. Check out that one. Second from the bottom.
While it might be cool to have your name mean something apparently blessed, your child will also be blessed…to have an excessive amount of negative attention at his disposal as he pretends his stuffed animals are Ewoks, and yes, he has even named one after his pint-sized mentor who is ironically still shorter than your son, Master Yoda.
Hopefully you will have instilled enough tact into your child to keep him from referring to your local Big Bertha as Jabba the Hut. But remember...

What about the name Han? Is that okay?
that just might be my newest, most favorite motivational poster. ever.
i had the hugest crush on luke sywalker in "return". after he was all plastic surgeried up after "empire" where he looked a little rough. nasty car wrecks.
I keep running all these things through my head that are really funny as long as I keep them there. When I try to write them... not so much. But, know I love you even if I can't type something witty right now.
I have a cousin named Jed. He's really cool, which the name may or may not imply.
So cool, that when my little baby was born last year---we wanted so badly to name him Jed. Being from Missouri, I was inclined to pick up a hillybilly name like that, naturally. But having lived outside of Missouri for most of my adult life, I knew it shouldn't be done.
But I really wanted to. So we tried so many variations of names to make "Jed" the nickname. That was even more entertaining than actually wanting the name Jed. When all was said and done, we couldn't pull the trigger.
If I could do it all again, I'd totally name him Jed. Just so you know.
"Jeddy time for dinner!" See, isn't that cute?
Uh, I think I should have been as wise as CQ, above.
I see my name!!
Umm, I have a great friend named Jed. He's a wild and crazy guy! We actually used to call him Jedi.
GM "To be honest with you I just don't know." OK so maybe that partiuclar phrase is only funny to me.

mindi I got that one from one of my coworkers.
Yeah I thought Luke was a bit of a cutie even if he was a little whiny. You're not my father! Yeah his face looks a little too clay-mation for me.
CQ I would probably still laugh it up b/c I know you IRL...it works. Lerv you too! nice flippity doo BTW ;)
While the name definitely implies hickishness to some I think it's cool. Actually the only thing I could think of when I read the name was "Jed's got cable." from Sleepless in Seattle. It made me giggle :D
b. to quote a favorite "You know I love you more than my luggage!"
That poses a chicken versus egg type conundrum for me.
Did he ever do light saber choreography?
That picture IS awesome.
I remember watching the news when one of the 4 million Star Wars movies came out and this guy had kids named Anakin and Darth. Whaaa???
Hey Mindi- did you know that they fixed his nose with cartilage from his ear??
That picture always brings a smile to my face.
You might be able to swing Anakin and still have a normal-ish kid, but seriously Darth? It almost sounds like Garth's evil twin. Will he have long brown hair, wear the same glasses, and still like red rope?

If I ever have twins I'm going to name them Jed and Jeb.
What do you think?
I grew up around an Amish community. You couldn't throw a horsey poop bag without smacking at least one Jed in the crowd. It was usually short for Jedidiah.
Chewbacca would make an awesome name for a chewing tobacco company.
And how great would it be to have a last name that begins with a "D?"
You can give your kids initials that add up to JED.
Jacob Einstein D_______
Jillian Eiffel D______
They may never be smart enough to egt their GED but they'll always have their JED.
*high five to the forehead* I've been touched by an infidel!
Do you think the rest of your spork fighting ninjas could handle that kind of action? I mean with those twins it will bring balance to the spork fighting ninjas versus the swash and buckling pirates.
Jedidiah usually makes me think of Mr. Clampet (sp?)
Speaking of the Amish...did you happen to hear about those free fake fireplace heaters that they're giving away with framing a la Pennsylvania Dutch? Limit 2 per houshold? crazy stuff. Apprently they're supposed to help save $$$
And how great would it be to have a last name that begins with a "D?"
Dastardly...
ok so not really, but that was the first word that came to mind. I need a vocab expansion six pack.
That's hardcore.
Way.
No you're not hardcore. Unless you live hardcore. But the legend of the rrent was way hardcooooooooore!
Woot! NCS has returned!
I really, REALLY love this! :)
Just so you know, I'm a Star Wars freak.
It's all good ;) I remember watching Star Wars since I was a young'en. I love it so :D
