Ever since I can remember I have been called
"Jed".
My parents named me Jason Eric Davis, and decided
that there were too many Jason's out there.
So that's how I became an acronym. It's
funny,
as a kid other kids would say things like "Jed, Jed, wet the bed" and
got a real kick out of my "easy rhyming name".
Growing up I hated the name. I thought
there
had never been anyone cool named "Jed". I was referred to by some
friends as "Jethro" and one got the biggest kick out of whistling the
theme to "the
Beverly Hillbillies".
I moved far away from my hometown and as luck
would
have it, one of my new friends started dating a girl from my elementary
school. He mentioned his friend "Jed" and she pulled out her
yearbook. Same Jed. ;) (This never would have happened with
a "Mike" or "John")
I found a banner recently for my web page that
said
"100,000 Jed Davis Fans can't be wrong".
Not sure who that guy is... maybe a musician.
I've tried changing my name to "Jason" with
every
move I make, every new job, etc. But EVERY time... "Jed" creeps
it's
way back into my life. :)
Anyway.. here I am. I tried (out of pure
boredom) typing in the URL Jed.com and tadda. I'm just
dissapointed that I didn't think of it
first!
;)
Glad to be among the Jeds,
Jed Davis
