    Named my sons Jeremy Christopher and Joshua Shelton

    I loved Bobby Sherman! I named my two boys after two charactors from the show. Jeremy Christoper and Joshua Shelton. If there was a third son, guess what........Jason.

    This was a real favorite of mine, also. I laughed when I read that someone named their children after the characters on the show. My favorite was "Jeremy" but I was going to name my son Jason. But after friends of ours, and my sister, named their son Jason, I decided that was too many Jasons. Our son is Jeremy. I think the names they used in the show, Joshua, Jason and Jeremy, were strong, yet gentle names, as portrayed by the characters. I wish they'd run the shows again!

    This was my favorite show when I was a teenager and I would LOVE to be able to see all of them again. I named my two sons for two of the Bolt Brothers. (Jason and Jeremy) which of course lots of young mothers did. I didn't know anyone with those names except Jason and Jeremy Bolt and the year after I named each of my sons, their names rang out everywhere we went. This show was to me the epitomy of good taste and of course living in the Seattle area also meant something to me.

    Wasn't there a Jennifer on it also, or is my memory deficient? It was a must-see show for all teen and almost-teen girls. The other stories confirm a long time suspicion of mine: all the J-names that suddenly became popular for babies - Jeremy, Joshua, Jason and Jennifer - came from those impressionable teens watching Bobby Sherman, who of course was a singing celebrity separate from the show. - M

    This was the first time I had heard the name Jeremy and it stuck. My 14 year old son is mortified to know he was named after a TV character! I was recently given a CD with "Seattle" on it and all of a sudden I was 8 years old again and gushing with a puppy crush on Bobby Sherman. Wonderful memories.

    I absolutely loved the show! I wanted to have triplets (boys) to name them Jeremy, Joshua and Jason. I guess I just couldn't find the right "Bolt".
