Geeky parents can do a lot of mean things to their kids. Apparently (don’t know if this is true or not, since I wasn’t able to verify it), this boy’s name is the groantastic, Jed I Knight. I’ve met some people in my time with some fairly unfortunate names: Shanda Lear, Krystal Ball, Harold “Harry” Bottoms. However, this one ranks up there naming your kid Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris. I’m sure some bullies out there will just get a kick of beating up a real life “Jedi”.
While I think the naming choice is horrible, there’s some folks who disagree. The folks at the Star Wars blog labeled the name (sarcastically I think) as a win. The folks at Failblog who broke the story obviously thinks the name is a fail.
So what do you think?

Name teasing only really lasts 6 to 10 years and then you get a cool name until you are 70 or longer if you get famous.
Yes, those are the most sensible years of your life but to me it is worth it.
He can always just go by Jed Knight, and never let anyone know his middle initial. People do come up with some odd names sometimes. Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-el. And a guy in the Army National Guard had his name legally changed to Optimus Prime back in 2001.
Can’t forget about Chad Johnson changing to Ocho Cinco.
I use to work with a gal named Harley Davidson. She was born with the Harley part and ended up marrying a guy named Davidson.
