[Shabbychiclover]

Please help me decide

Danny(with Daniel on BC)

or

Jude

Thankyou

Love Jude, love Daniel or Dan - not Danny. Between Danny or Jude then definitely Jude.

Daniel :)

Surname is double barrelled.First part begins with M and is Irish second part of surname is English and begins with C.

I am dreading going tomorrow.

Daniel is very dull but adore Dan Dan for a baby/Danny for a young man and also just Dan!

Jude is lovely.Much better than Daniel but not as flexible.(Doesn't have good nn's)

Me and DH are going to count number of votes on this thread late tonight and then decide!Better than flipping a coin

Daniel
(Is much more flexible as he ages, like you said, Baby Danny, teenager Dan, Mr Daniel M-C in work situations.)

Jude is far too trendy for right now (and I am not keen on Jude Law, FWIW....)

Those two names are my DB's name. That is really wierd. BTW I love Jude, was my maiden name ibv, nad I used it as a middle name for DS2. I vote Jude

Thanks everyone for fb

Jude

Can Danny not be a well respected name on its own?I absolutely hate Daniel.

I think Jude is love or hate.

I think I just want approval for the name Danny..I want someone to say 'Well actually my lawyer is called Danny'

What to do.Still going to count mn's votes.Once it's done thats it....

Jude- great name

daniel, purely because of possible variations

I really think you should put Daniel on the birth certificate,then he has the option of either.

And I really don't like Danny. I think Daniel sounds much better and at least he has two options when he's older.

Love Daniel and dan but loathe danny. Dan on it's own is a proper name. From the bible one of josephs brothers. Hate jude very pretentious and so many women nicknamed that from Judith

Jude Daniel......no contest.

Daniel is fine and a good strong name but no one will say Wow! what a fab name. tho it is a great name and no one could fall out with it.

But ..........Jude!

Strong, masculine, unusual, travels well through life so you can see the baby, toddler, teenager, young adult.....

Do the test that DH and i did.....

'This is your captain Jude M....... speaking. We will be taking off in 5 minutes.'

or

'all rise for Judge Jude M........'

HTH

I like Daniel, but dislike Danny. Dan is good though.

Daniel/Danny/Dan all great names. Jude is not nice, sounds girly or one thinks of Judas . It will date too.

Daniel

I'd say Daniel with a double barrell surname. As Jude double-barrell may sound like 'celebrity' aspirations.

definitely Jude

Daniel. Even if your preference is Danny, let him choose when he's older. I work with two Dannys, would never call either Daniel, but they had a choice of Dan, Daniel or Danny growing up. Ditto my ds is Tobias on his birth certificate, he sort of knows this (is 5) but is always called Toby.

Congratulations on your new arrival!

Daniel. Strong, classic, has nn flexibility, is great for a child, great for an adult.
Danny, Champion of the World!
Please let us know what you decide.

Love, love, love, Jude. Wanted Jude for mine but got vetod.

Liked Daniel also but several friends had Daniels so didn't.

I love both names. I have a Daniel who has a friend called Jude . How about Daniel Jude?

Congrats btw!

Daniel

DS1 is Jude and I love it. Haven't met one yet. He occasionally gets called Judy...and Judas (by family and friends) and this doesn't bother him or us whatsoever.

DH is Daniel. He prefers Danny but is known as Daniel, Dan, Danny and Daz.

Whatever name you pick for DS he will always be called by another - it's just the way it goes. Never in a million years did I think my masculine name of 'Jude' would turn into 'Judy' but I wouldn't change a thing!

Congratulations and good luck in your decision!

Iwantscallops wow you have a Jude and Danny in your house.

I have a little boy called Ellis aswell.

Ellis and Jude.

Ellis and Daniel/Danny.

Thanks everyone for your opinions.Really appreciated
