Any of these names do anything for you? Rank them in least to most favorite?

Jude is my favourite. Then Jonah. Not really a fan of Julian.

WowOoo · 10/03/2012 18:36

Jude, jonah, Julian in that order.

:o Love love love Julian (nn Jules) - it's been my favourite name for years. Not so keen on the other two, but I prefer Jude to Jonah.

cookielove · 10/03/2012 18:43

Jonah, def i really love this, as did DP, although his fickle fickle brain forgot and now has completly veto'd it.

Jude is nice, but has been quite popular round here recently.

Julian - bluergh

Julian is the best of those for me. Jonah and Jude too many negative connotations, and Jude is very faddy atm.

HolyNoSheDittantBatman · 10/03/2012 18:48

Love Jude.
Really like Jonah.
Not keen on Julian (not sure why though as it's perfectly nice).

TheUncannyValley · 10/03/2012 19:21

Jonah.Love it.
Julian.Great choice.
Jude.Hate it.

oikopolis · 10/03/2012 19:37

Love Jude
Julian not really my style
Jonah's alright.

FilterCoffee · 10/03/2012 20:21

I like Julian best, as it's an underused and fairly classic name.

Then Jonah as it's a fine Biblical name but the "ah" ending makes names a bit "sighing" to me (same with Noah).

Jude sounds too feminine.

I love Jude. I hate Jonah. Julian is ok.

squoosh · 12/03/2012 12:01

Love Jude.

Would grudgingly accept Jonah.

Loathe and despise Julian.

SunnilyEnough · 12/03/2012 12:05

Jude - trying too hard to be cool. Sounds too much like dude.
Julian - bit seventies.
Jonah - lovely.

puzzletree · 12/03/2012 12:12

Love love love Jonah.

shoobidoo · 12/03/2012 13:16

I don't like Jude - sounds feminine (and means Jew in German).

Jonah means bringer of bad luck, so no from me too.

Julian, on the other hand, is lovely - cool and underused.

PercyFilth · 12/03/2012 14:58

Yes, Julian is one of those names that doesn't date. Never "in", never "out".

LondonNadiy · 12/03/2012 16:57

Julian, then Jude, then Jonah - little bit new-agey for me! Evokes images of flowery moo-moos and calling the car the 'Starship'. I like Jude now, but I did think it was a girls name when I was younger - is it not a nn of Julian anyway? Always liked Julian!

BellaBearisWideAwake · 12/03/2012 17:01

I have a Jonah, and I love it. Also love the mass of whale related children's books I received after he was born!

BellaBearisWideAwake · 12/03/2012 17:02

So Jonah, then Jude (sounds like a nickname to me) and then Julian (too posh for me)

But all nice names really!
