Absolutely love this name. Hoping for another boy to use this name for. Noah Jedidiah, love biblical names. Beloved of God how much more perfect can you get!

I have a nephew named Jedidiah who is 27. I call him Jeddo, but that is just an term of endearment from a loving aunt. Jedidiah was a name of endearment given to the infant King Solomon by the prophet Nathan, and my nephew's middle name happens to be Nathan.
This is a great name for a boy. The nickname Jed is cool. I also like the meaning of this name.
This is merely my own opinion -- Jedidiah (or Jed) gives me the distinct impression of a gentle country-bumpkin (and, somehow, he is always an older person in my mind). No offense intended; it is only an impression -- a very strong impression that I can't seem to shake.
