Sometime last year Jared started to add a second middle name. He's named himself Jared Scott Josh Perkins. It's a little bizarre, but names are important to him. He likes for his friends to call him "Ed". He signs his school work adding the Josh. So, although it's a bit strange, I think it's cute. Josh is the name of my youngest brother and although they've not been able to spend a ton of time together, Josh must have made a good impression. When I ask Jared why he added Josh to his name, he says "because I like to!"
