I do think the child needs to look a certain way to get away with it though! Surferish!

Jude the Obscure?

Hey Jude?

I wouldn't personally pick it, but it doesn't sound horrible.

I do like it but would be put off by the 'Jude the Obscure' connections. Too depressing!

Well, we know of 3 in the immediate area/circle of friends. But I guess tere's alot of Thomas/James/Christopher etc too. If it doesnt bother you, then go for it, cos its a good sounding name.

It's nice if a bit girly. I agree that there are a lot of young Judes about, it has become popular since Jude Law became well known.

Hm...it's one of those names I can't work out if I like it or not....which doesn't make any sense at all, nor is it helpful, lol!
I think it might be, because I really do like Jude Law so, in a way that makes think positive of the name....but that might be the only reason....can't explain it, lol
