Jake or Jude?

[namechangegallo]

Cannot decide

Jude

I prefer Jacob to Jake. Dislike Jude.

Jude sounds very girly to me. I know it isn't, but that's my first reaction. Much prefer Jake or Jacob

I prefer Jude and haven't met any at all where I live.

Like pp have said, Jude sounds a bit feminine.

I think Jake is a lovely boys' name though.

Another vote for Jude.
Jake is also nice though.

Definitely Jude

Jude. Know so many Jakes and Jacobs so it's a well-loved name bite Jude is much nicer and I don't find it feminine sounding.

*but

Hate Jude. Probably because all I can hear is "Hey Jude" every time I hear it and I despise the Beatles.

Jake is fine, however it's much nicer when shortened from Jacob.

Jude.

I'm biased though, as my Jude is actually a Judah, but he goes by Jude on a daily basis.

Another vote for Jude - I only know one and he's secondary school aged (and one of the most awesome kids I know!) I've come across loads of Jake/Jacobs.

Jude

Jake

Jude as I know some Jake's who were terrible teens. Otherwise Jake is a nice name, but Jude is more interesting imp.
