Jude or Rudy?

[ChineapplePunk]

Thought we had made a definite choice of name for our wee man, but now another name we like has been introduced. Can't decide. Need to firm things up before he puts in an appearance. Mind you, I suppose we could wait and see what name he "looks more like" :). Thoughts/preferences/opinions?

I have a Jude. We call him ruddy judey as a nickname sometimes, I suspect we'll have to stop doing that soon as he's nearly 5 and will probably start objecting! I like both names but obviously prefer Jude. Lots of people have complimented us on our name choice.

I like both but dh won't have Jude because he's Jewish and doesn't want Jude the Jew comments. Odd train of thought but there you go.

I'd go for Rudy but full name Rudyard, not horrid Rudolph

its not american, if anything its german!

rudyardy is nice! ours is just Rudi, Rudi Arlo actually and we love it :)

it is german and popular in germany, hungary and spain :)

I think I know what your DH means about the Jude/Jew comments, WinkyWinkola. I have seen photographs in books about WW2 with 'Jude' plastered all over the walls - if I were Jewish, it might rule it out for me, too.

I have a Rudi. Love it.
