Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Samuel 12:25

"and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah`s sake." — 2 Samuel 12:25 (ASV)

Jedidiah. —It does not appear that this name (beloved of the Lord) was intended to do more than express the Divine acceptance of Solomon; and it never came into use as a personal title.
