Jed is actually my middle name, but I have always gone by the name Jed. 

The best thing about growing up "Jed" is it was very unlikely that I
would be confused with another boy. The worst thing was never being able to
find those little personalized "vanity plates" for my bicycle at the five
and dime store.

That said I would never want any other name. I gave all three of my
boys "Jed" for their middle names.
