Which name do you prefer?

We do not care about popularity, so this is not an issue for us at all.

Joseph is a family name so this is not subject to change.

i just can't get my head around jude for a boy. despite teaching one and loving 'j' boys names... i think i just know a couple of female judes too well.

love the name finlay.

having said that i think either combination sounds really nice... i wouldn't be but off the J.J. thing - i think it has a nice ring to it...

I love both of them, both were on my lists with each of my boys.
I think Finlay Joseph has a better ring to it.

I'd never go for Jude because St Jude is the patron saint of hopeless causes.

I love the name Jude (despite Jude Law)

I'd go for that if I was having another baby.

Jude and Finlay are my two favourite names!

(because they are the names of the two most beautiful and sparky little boys I know)

Jude Joseph is better

Not a huge fan of either name but I really, really, really don't like Finlay - not because of its popularity, just don't like it for some reason ....sorry

However Jude Joseph could be shortened to 'JJ' which I think is rather nice...and Jude is far nice than Finlay IMO

I would say Jude Joseph defo. Its lovely.

I really really wanted Jude for ds 2 as i adore the name but JUde Law put me off. I was really worried that people would think i was a Jude Law fan and id named him after him! You know like girls after Kylie etc! I wouldnt mind but Jude isnt even his real name.

But go for it, as Jude is such a great name. In the end i went for my second choice, Jonah, which i do love too!

Finlay was in Home and Away, and she was a girl. I am sure Finlay is the girls version.
