Jude or Gabriel?
(21 Posts)Really dislike Gabriel - just sounds too girly for me. I'd worry he'd also get teased when he's older - too close to Gabrielle for me.
Both really good names IMO. Slightly prefer Gabriel.
Jude for me. I have a Samuel Jude.
I also know a Jude with nicknames The Dude and Doodles! Love the name. Gabriel still sounds like a girl's name to me.
I prefer Jude, but that's probably because I have a little 9 month old Jude of my own. It's an absolutely beautiful name for a wee boy.
Both heavenly. If it were me I'd go for Gabriel nn Gabe but Jude is also gorgeous.
Gabriel Jude. That's my DS
Jude is most definitey a boys name hebrew roots, related to Judah, judith and hence Judy do come from the same roots though, to my mind Judy ias a girl Jude is a boy, like all the above names not so keen on gabriel though
I always think of Jude as a girl's name.
Thanks for the input.
MissBee, I think dp will like the idea of The Dude as a nn for Jude, I'll suggest that, thanks!
LittleCherub, I love Joel from your suggestions but dp's not keen.
These are both my top names if we have a boy Obvs I like them both but leaning towards Jude lately.
I like Gabe as a nn but have mild concerns about him being called 'Gay'
I think either choice will be a good choice, though.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Prefer Gabriel.
The only Jude I know personally is female so that would put me off using it for a boy.
Other suggestions:
Caleb
Spencer
Joel
Fraser
Elijah
Nathan
Isaiah
Aidan
Gabe isn't at all nice though.Gabriel is too lovely to be shortened.
Gabriel with Gabs as nn
Gabriel is much nicer. I cannot bear Jude.It has a horrid sound imho.
I like both equally and doubt if Judy would be a problem [not a common name now] no more likely than Angel for Gabriel
I like Gilbert nn Gil
I love Jude, btw and have not regretted the choice.
Love both (no help!).
I have a DS (3) called Jude but he's never been called Judy - mainly he's The Dude
or Doodles if he's feeling cuddly
Our ds is due in 5 weeks and these are currently the two contenders.
I love Jude, dp likes it, but doesn't like the thought that he might get called Judy.
Dp's choice is Gabriel, shortened to Gabe. I like it, but still am not convinced it's right.
So, what's the general consensus on those names? Or any other suggestions?
