What does everyone think? I'm pretty set and love it too bits for son but just wondering what general thoughts are? I don't think it's something that can be made fun of etc, apart from the obvious 'hey jude' but that's not a bad thing!

It’s my DS’s name. He’s eight and still remains the only one in his school which is great. I personally love the song.

Lots here too, and all kids know 'Hey Jude'. The older set are also familiar with 'Jude the Obscure' (a gory and unpleasant tale) and St Jude the patron saint of lost causes. At the end of the day it's your choice based on the associations the name has for you.

Love the name Jude and love the song Hey Jude too! Definitely not the most boring Beatles song...

Blimey, folk can be blunt on MN!!

Jude is lovely, I love it for both sexes.

LotsToThinkOf · 18/10/2018 08:03

Lots of Judes round here, but it's a lovely name.

PramFace2018 · 18/10/2018 08:02

Lovely name, I'd consider it if I had another son

Smarshian · 18/10/2018 07:56

I absolutely love Jude. We very nearly picked it for our son (it was a close second)

QueenOfMyWorld · 18/10/2018 07:51

No child of your son's generation would know hey Jude so I think it's fine

Polkasq · 18/10/2018 07:50

It's fine.

JoyfulMystery · 18/10/2018 07:42

I like it. It seems quite common in these parts, but they’re all older.

stellabird · 18/10/2018 07:40

Oh dear, Hey Jude. The most boring Beatles song ever recorded. Not for me I'm afraid. And to me its rather girly for a boy.
