we were pretty set on Jude for our soon to be born baby but as the due date approaches we're less sure.

Which do you prefer out of Jude, Isaac or Sebastian?

Our Jude's nn is a lengthening, poor kid. He does get cake Judy, but he's the type to take it!

I will never forget when Sara Cox had a baby and called him Isaac.

I hope to goodness she didn't give him her surname Shock

I have a Jude, but just today saw the name Seymour which almost made me want another ds! Don't like Sebastian for some reason, seems a bit public schooly.

Ozaac? Isaac, obviously.

Jude is my favourite of the three, followed by Sebastian. Not keen on Isaac.

LettuceLaughton · 06/09/2015 19:26

Jude is great!

Nothing wrong with Sebsatian or Ozaac but I'd really not use anything you strongly dislike common shortenings of. People say "Oh, just don't shorten it" but other people (and sometime the DC themselves) will all the damned time. I took the 'just don't shorten it' advice and if I had my time again I'd honestly just go with another name. Grr.

Ezra
Luca
Leo (or Leonard, I love Leonard)

Nice names. I love Jude and Sebastian - don't shorten it to anything! Jacob is nice too.

DP and i still both love Jude but In RL people seem to either pull a face or you can tell they are pretending to like it.

DP prefers Sebastian, which he wants to shorten to Bass rather than Seb.

I like Isaac, hopefully not shortened to anything like Zac. Bit we have a DD with an 'I' name and DP thinks we would need to call anyother children 'I' names too if we used Isaac.

The likelihood of Seb puts me off the otherwise nice Sebastian. Either Jude or Isaac are lovely.

SmugairleRoin · 06/09/2015 17:27

Isaac, a nicer sound than Jude imo. Or Isaiah?

Sebastian is alright but it's quite popular and I'm not keen on Seb.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 06/09/2015 17:24

Sebastian

mumsnit · 06/09/2015 17:22

Jude is great!

I like Sebastian too but Isaac is very popular in our neck of the woods which puts me off an otherwise nice name!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 06/09/2015 17:19

Sebastian.
