Jed Laughton

Hello,
I recently found the site and I've loved reading everybodies stories.
I'm Jed Laughton (Law-ton) and I'm from Wales. My name isn't short for anything - my Father chose my name and my Mother didn't hate it so that's what I ended up with.
I'm not completely sure why he chose it but my parents watched The West Wing and read a book by Jed Rubenfeld. However my Mother says this just reassured them that it was a real name and isn't why they chose it.
I really like my name. I'm glad people don't mispronounce it as much as they seem to with everyone else! I'd also never heard of Jed Clampett before finding the site - probably because I'm only 17 so wasn't around for it. I can relate to being called Jedi though but STar Wars is quite cool so I can't complain.
I've never encountered any other Jed's directly but I do recall hearing about someone called Jed when I was in primary school.
I was once given a book called "Jed's really useful poem" about a boy called Jed saving a tree from being chopped down. I was amazed that someone would write about a character with my name. I've still never been able to find anything else with my name on though.
I hope all the other Jeds are doing well.

- Jed Laughton
