I am 22 weeks pregnant and having a boy, was wondering what people thought of Jude as a boy's name?

He may be called Jude Xavier (Xavier as we got engaged in St Francis Xavier church in Goa).

Or does anyone have any other good first names that may go with Xavier as this part of the name is a definite!

Thank you for your ideas!

Fantastic name! I have a Jude aged 6 months. He is the only male Jude I know. The other Judes seem to be middle aged women!

Some people think 'he' is a 'she' and he has also been called Judas - but I don't care!

Love the middle name too.

I always LOVED the name Jude but I've had to give the idea up because it doesn't go with my surname

Goes well with Xavier too!

DD2 would have been Jude if she'd been a boy. I think it's a fantastic name although I've heard of quite a few since DD2 was born in May (including a colleague).

Love it! Would have used it although too similar to my name would have been a bit Nigel/Nigella

Yes, definitely. We had four girls though. Jude was one of our top three for a boy though - won't get to use it now!
