Lomond · 05/09/2008 13:18

I love it too, don't know any in my area.

I love it.

It's nice if a bit girly. I agree that there are a lot of young Judes about, it has become popular since Jude Law became well known.

Well, we know of 3 in the immediate area/circle of friends. But I guess tere's alot of Thomas/James/Christopher etc too. If it doesnt bother you, then go for it, cos its a good sounding name.

I think Jo Whiley from Radio One has a son called Jude.

I like it.

It's lovely. Very common among norf London chattering classes

Jude the Obscure is why I love it!

reikizen · 05/09/2008 12:55

I do like it but would be put off by the 'Jude the Obscure' connections. Too depressing!

PrimulaVeris · 05/09/2008 12:54

It's short for Judas isn't it?

Ineedsomesleep · 05/09/2008 12:53

Love, love, love it.

Jude the Obscure?

Hey Jude?

I wouldn't personally pick it, but it doesn't sound horrible.

I do think the child needs to look a certain way to get away with it though! Surferish!
