I completely love Jedidiah! It flows back and forth with Benedict as my #1 / #2 name. I think I like Jedidiah David a touch more than Jedidiah Alan (for the echoed D's and I's, but then, I'm biased; glance at my sig ;-)). [And ETA I like the nn Jedi as much as the nn Jed! But I'm a geek.] When you say "in the same style as" David and Joel, I get a Biblical feeling. What about...

Jedidiah Adam
Jedidiah Andrew
Jedidiah Asher
Jedidiah Bartholomew (he'd be a helluva speller)
Jedidiah Benedict (one of my all-time favorite combos)
Jedidiah Benjamin
Jedidiah Daniel
Jedidiah Dathan
Jedidiah Elijah
Jedidiah Emmanuel
Jedidiah Ephraim
Jedidiah Ethan (always a popular choice)
Jedidiah Ezekiel (love this, he could be Jed or Zeke)
Jedidiah Gabriel
Jedidiah Gideon (I have a personal attachment to this, natch ;D)
Jedidiah Hiram
Jedidiah Isaac
Jedidiah Jacob (with all the J mn's, of course there's the JJ nn risk)
Jedidiah James
Jedidiah Jared
Jedidiah Jericho (which I find frankly hot)
Jedidiah Jonas
Jedidiah Levi (also love this)
Jedidiah Malachi
Jedidiah Matthias (another personal fave)
Jedidiah Phineas
Jedidiah Samson
Jedidiah Silas
Jedidiah Thaddeus (yet another personal fave)
Jedidiah Timothy (very nice rhythm imo)
Jedidiah Tobias
Jedidiah Zachariah (hey, why not?)

You could go even more hard core with one of these:

---

Jedidiah Anaiah (or Benaiah, Delaiah, etc)
Jedidiah Edom
Jedidiah Eleazar
Jedidiah Isaiah
Jedidiah Josephus
Jedidiah Nicodemus (rendering either Jed or Nic/k / Nico)
Jedidiah Timaeus
Jedidiah Zacchaeus

---

But probably my #1 Jed combo is Jedidiah Hawking (from the physicist Stephen Hawking), which is obviously neither Biblical nor remotely similar to anything as ordinary as David.

---

If you had any kind of hankerin to go the, uh, odd route I went with Hawking, you might, just perhaps, like one of these:

---

Jedidiah Cedar
Jedidiah Concord
Jedidiah Courage
Jedidiah Falcon
Jedidiah Forest (or Forrest)
Jedidiah Fox
Jedidiah Harrier
Jedidiah Jasper
Jedidiah Jaeger
Jedidiah Merit (I really like this, the echo of short E's and I's)
Jedidiah Midnight (ditto the echo)
Jedidiah Nazarene
Jedidiah Nazareth
Jedidiah Nighthawk
Jedidiah Orion
Jedidiah Phoenix
Jedidiah Samarion
Jedidiah Samaritan
Jedidiah Stone
Jedidiah Swift
Jedidiah Thorn/e
Jedidiah Valerian
Jedidiah Valor
Jedidiah Viridian

---

Also, if you don't mind seein it as a mn, Jesse Jedidiah was on my list for ages, and was one of my choices when I was pregnant with Sophie had she been a boy.

---

I'm sorry if I've repeated any suggestions already made. I hope something on one of these lists appeals to you!
