Dp also wants to put William as the middle name....its a family name on both sides, so have to make sure it goes well with the first name. Ithink it goes okay..... Jude William??

It is a great name and can not get shortened.

Yes, love it.

PlanetLizard · 25/01/2011 13:44

It's OK.

GeorgeEliot · 25/01/2011 20:37

a bit obscure...

Pumpster · 25/01/2011 20:38

My dd2 was going to be Jude, I like it.

midnightexpress · 25/01/2011 20:39

St Jude is the patron saint of lost causes and Jude the obscure is a very grim book, so no, not for me.

Eglu · 25/01/2011 20:39

I love it. It is DS2s middle name. It was also my maiden name so was always going to be used by me.

Iwantscallops · 27/01/2011 00:40

I have a Jude and love it. Haven't met another (male/child) with the name .

MistleToad · 27/01/2011 08:21

I love Jude but I've read a few threads which say it is getting really popular. Is that true?I've only met one (London)

COCKadoodledooo · 27/01/2011 11:33

Ds1' best bud is Jude, I love it. Cannot stop myself saying 'hey' every time I see him though Blush

Love it!

It's a great name.

5DollarShake · 27/01/2011 12:22

I really like it. DH loves it, and it will be a front-runner if we ever have DS2.
