The name Zebedee is a wonderfully strange name, when I first saw it I thought the name had to be ancient and Biblical. I could not believe that it was in use during our time period, but, with a little digging I found others with Zebedee as their first name. Dee Zebedee is one of my favorite new names I have found while working on my family tree.
My eldest son's name is Zebedee and both my wife and I (and our son) love this name. My son gets very defensive when deadbeats pronounce it wrong or deliberately mess it up.
No. Just... No. "Zebedee" sounds so silly on a human.

I think this is a perfectly acceptable, if rare, first name for boys. It is not unheard of, especially in Christian circles. I would consider using it myself, maybe with the nickname Zeb.
