What do people think about Judy for a girl? I love it but DH not sold. Other names we like are Bridget and Louise....

I love the name Judy, my DS is called Jude but I've nn him Judy Blush

I love Bridget. Bridget Louise is nice. Also quite like Jodie but not Judy really.

How about Josie, maybe with Josephine on the BC? Josephine Bridget and Josephine Louise are both nice.

Love Bridget.
How about Jodie Louise.

I think it's really cute but works well for a woman too.

There are plenty of great Judys, and "best judies" connotation... but I think I prefer Judith! But if you like Judy go for it.

I love Louisa more than Louise.

I love Louise. It's my favourite out of your list

It's in the same league as Daphne and Sylvia imo and they are loved on mn

I love it! So cute! And also works for an adult woman I think too.

I prefer Jude for a girl. Judy feels a bit 50s-60s to me - dated, but not quite enough to be fashionably "vintage" (yet - you could be ahead of the curve!)

Love Bridget though, and Louise is nice enough too.

I prefer the simplicity of Judy - and then she could call herself Jude, if she wants to....

I love it. But would probably go for Judith. Can it be short for anything else?
Jude?
