Thoughts? It’s our top boys name! I am 23 weeks pregnant :)

It's a popular boy's name for aged 5 and under. The female Judes will be 50s + I guess. Won't seem feminine at all to his peers. I don't love the sound of it though.

It will become increasingly popular due to Bellingham, who is already the most globally famous English player since Beckham and will probably be the next England captain.

I like it. DS's name and he's the only one in his year of 180. I think there is one further down the school (someone's brother from their year). I have worked with children for 7 years and never had one in my preschool, although we currently have 3 Rivers (2 girls and a boy) out of 45 kids!

It sounds feminine, short for Judith

It’s a lovely name.

I strongly dislike it and it’s so overused if that bothers you.

TartanMammy · 01/04/2025 22:28

I know 3 Jude's born in the last 2 years. But if that doesn't bother you it's a lovely name.

I do like it but it’s suddenly become very popular. I think it will be top 10 soon. If that doesn’t bother you then got for it!

I’m not too keen as I only know female Judes - short for Judith.

RightOnTheEdge · 01/04/2025 22:09

I really like it.

Bluelavenders · 01/04/2025 22:08

It’s the German word for Jew. I’m not keen at all
