Jude?

We think we’ve decided but want a general idea of public opinion.

Thanks.

Jude? Well its not hugely popular but its not majorly unpopular so yea I'd say go for it, why not? As long as you and your partner like it that's all that matters I guess x

I always think of it as being short for Judith, but I know it's pretty popular for boys at the moment.

My brother is called Jude, it's a nice name but he is always accidentally called Judy. Everyone else's name ends in an 'ee' sound (mummy, daddy, three siblings with 'ee' sound endings) so it still keeps accidentally getting added to his name even though he's 15!

I hate it tbh. I just think it's an ugly sound.

But it always seems loved on here so I can assure you I seem to be in the minority!

It makes me think Judy or Judith. Sorry.

I like it though prefer it as an occasional shortening for Judah

Was on my short list for ds so I really like it!

I really like it but I know a female Jude (possibly short for Judith) so I always wonder whether it’s masculine enough.

I know two adults called Jude - both women

I dislike it for a boy

Dislike - but that may be Thomas Hardy’s fault.

Love it. I knew a little Jude. He was adorable and very sweet and polite so. I always see it as a good boys nameGrin.
However do be prepared to be asked
Oh after the song or after Jude Law
