What are your thoughts on Jude for a boy? Do you know many?

I actually wanted Judah which was vetoed but DH said maybe to Jude. My grandma was Judith so I like that link too.

Do you think it will age well - I've never met an adult Jude

I know one adult woman and one teenage boy Jude. The boy has spent his life getting Jude the dude.

personally I don’t like it, sounds like a nickname and just isn’t a nice sound.

Jude the obscure is also a lovely rose!

Shame the book is one of the most depressing things ever written!

EllaRaines · 27/06/2023 13:33

Lovely name.

Jude the obscure is also a lovely rose!

Amazing name but v biased as I have an 18 year old Jude, he loves his name and was also "Jude the dude" when he was little!

Florencey · 27/06/2023 13:18

I love it, have known a few, know a Jude in his 20s still suits it as much as when he was a toddler. Lovely name in my opinion

Jude is at the top of our boys list. It's a beautiful name. Do it!!!x

I know one aged 50, one aged 30 and one aged 8 (all male) and one female Jude aged about 70. It is not my favourite name but absolutely fine.

Love it

24Dogcuddler · 26/06/2023 23:43

Love it. Only ever taught one boy called Jude and he was lovely. He hated anyone singing the song Hey Jude.

I've heard judelay

continentallentil · 26/06/2023 23:21

It’s nice, very popular at the moment

WhatTheFlipToDo · 26/06/2023 23:01

‘Jude the Dude’ 😍

Salamander91 · 26/06/2023 22:59

Love it. Its on our list if this one is a boy 😊

KatPatPat · 26/06/2023 22:58

We seriously considered Jude but went with another name. Still like it

TheOnlyAletheia · 26/06/2023 22:36

I have a teenage Jude, named for my mum (Judith). I love it, but more importantly he loves it. It’s aged well with him 🙂

PurplePear7 · 26/06/2023 22:32

I like it! I’ve seen two instagrammers in the last few weeks call their babies Jude so it must be popular 😊

Maryofscots · 26/06/2023 22:30

Lovely name. I know a male Jude in his late forties. It will age well

OopsieeDaisy · 26/06/2023 22:27

I don’t personally like Jude but there’s nothing wrong with it, I also don’t know of any adults called Jude but in about 10-20 years there definitely will be!

greenplantspinkflowers · 26/06/2023 17:10

Ahh for me, Jude was the one who got away..lovely name

FatGirlSwim · 26/06/2023 16:25

I love it.

HarrietStyles · 26/06/2023 16:23

I know a Jude and he’s a lovely little boy. The kids call him Jude The Dude at school!

SallyWD · 26/06/2023 16:12

I really love the name. It's one of my favourite boys names. It's an old and classic name but to me sounds quite cool!

Alwayswonderedwhy · 26/06/2023 15:51

I know of a few. Lovely name.

I think it's the first name I've ever posted on here that seems to be universally liked
