Another kid named "Vedder."

I know that there is a fellow fan who named one of his twins "Vedder." (His thread was posted on this part of the forum and allowed to stay, instead of being moved to All Encompassing Trip.)

But I encountered another such child on Sunday: I walked down the escalator into the subway station at Normandie/Wilshire. In front of me was a dad in his early thirties and a boy of about 5. They bought a ticket from the machine, so it delayed them for half a minute. I have a monthly pass and walked ahead of them. From behind me, I head the dad say, "VEDDER, come on!"

Oh dear! Another kid named Vedder. At that moment, there were no other people in the immediate area so I head the man clearly.

Tee hee!

    Our last one, if a boy, my wife and I were going to name Ely. I suggested Stone for a middle name -- then someone informed me there was a tv show called Ely Stone (I don't watch tv) turns out we had a girl and named her Lucy. I guess there was a tv show about her too. ;) fricking tv.

    If you call your child Vedder, there is no mistake who your naming him after.
    People usually name thier children after people who are role models and I think they could do alot worse than our beloved Eddie.
    If you call your child Eddie, that could be mistaken for any arsehole.
    Naming your child, unfortunately, is the right of parents, as long as it it not offensive.
    I like Vedder.
    It's alot less presumptuous than what some celebrities name thier children.

    who would name their kid after a socialist gas station pumping no highschool diploma surfer dude musician ??

    j/k

    We should start a new pearl jan fan club with only individuals that carry the first or last name of each member. These people could all sit in one section of a concert and be roll called like in elementary school. Vedder Smith (present) Vedder Jones (present) Vedder Vedder (present) Eddie Vedder 1,2,3,4,5 (present) Stone Smith (present), MCcready Anderson (present), etc

    "Hey look Eddie this is my son Vedder are'nt you impressed, now can I have front row tickets?"

    If I were Ed I change my name back to the original and throw all these people for a loop or just be like Prince and become a symbol. Ed's symbol would have to be the "hand flipping you the bird"
