I guess when your parents name you Jihad they've doomed you for a violent end.

Not necessarily. The individual can rise above the intent of the parent or parents responsible, and the fervor and dedication of Jihad can be spent in the reasonable defense and propagation of the holder's religious belief rather than murderous activity on its behalf. It's not a guaranteed curse on the individual, though it can certainly have the intended result and needs to be carefully considered.

But the pronounciation of the term is better rendered somewhat differently in English, as pig-eater.
