Jude

Definitely Sebastian. It's much nicer than Jude.

LittlePandaBear · 06/04/2012 10:06

My vote is for Sebastian, but like Jude too. Not much help, sorry!

maydaychild · 06/04/2012 06:16

I know a female Jude too
And a horrid 4 year old boy

My cousin is a drop dead gorgeous Sebastian though. Def go with Sebby

Both lovely names but I'd choose Jude because I prefer short names.

HillyWallaby · 06/04/2012 05:49

I like both but I LOVE Sebastian, I think it is more of a classic and less likely to be a passing trend.

Sebastian has a bit of meaning this year doesn't it what with him being the man to bring the Olympics to London. Fit that reason I'd go with that one

Sorry, not really keen on either (and the only Jude I know is a woman).

therewasalittlegirl · 06/04/2012 00:34

Thank you all. I think both go with surname!

We were set on Sebastian. But I am wobbling because whenever anyone asks what name we are thinking of and I say it, it seems to sound like 'spast'ian to my ears, which I don't like for obvious reasons?! But maybe I'm just being silly?! He would be Seb most of the time anyway, I'm sure.

Jude is an old favourite of ours (considered for DS1). But friend used it fairly recently for her DS's middle name. This puts DH off because to him it feels 'used', but I'm not sure that matters as friend's little one only has it as a middle!

This naming business is so tricky!
