How many Judes under-5 do you know?

[Bumfluff3000]

And where do you live? I only ask as I don't know any, but just saw a comment on another thread along the lines of "not another baby Jude - I know at least 5 now...".

I'm just interested really - it's on our list and while popularity isn't the key criteria I would prefer it if DS (if it is a DS) is not going to be one of 5 in his class.

None.

The only Judes I know are in their 40s/50s and are female.

It's number 61 in most recent top 100 boys names so there will be a fair number of them about

Yep, one in every 333 boys born that year. Not really that many in my opinion.

Statistics never lie, OP!!

Ha ha I think I can cope with 1 in 333!!

Thanks all :)

I only know one little Jude personally but I've heard mention of others. (Yorkshire)

Two. Both boyts, both about 1 and both in Scotland.

I have 1 who is 7. No others in school that I know of. Live Essex/ London borders. Know 2 others of completely different ages and completely different areas of London burbs.

My DN aged 3. We're in Wimbledon, SW London.

Quite a few, but we were living in the Middle East and it is a Muslim girl's name (Jude/Jood).

1 and I live in Italy.

it's the DS because I am devout to Saint Jude

Not so Obscure these days then.

i know one he is 3 x - s wales

Doesn't this name make everyone think of Jude the Obscure - one of the most miserable Hardy novels with its tragic main character and his desperately unhappy mentally ill son, also called Jude, who murders his infant siblings before killing himself whilst still a child...

It seems the most ill fated name ...

To answer your questions I don't know any, of any age, though :o

I heard a mum shouting to two small boys by the names of Jude and Cain to hurry up, at London Zoo several years ago, and they appeared to be her small sons... Stayed in my mind as the oddest choice of names for a pair of brothers ever...

I don't know any.

Never read Jude the Obscure. So doesn't put me off in the slightest!

Doesn't this name make everyone think of Jude the Obscure - one of the most miserable Hardy novels

No... It's that reference that sounds obscure!

I have only ever known one and I've worked in early years for 25 years, so I've met loads of children

I think of 'Hey, Jude' not Jude the Obscure.

One, I live on the continent but his parents are UK expats

DD had 2 Jude's in her class (reception), both boys. We live in Oxfordshire.

I know another 3 Jude's of various ages - one in their 20's one in their late 30's and one 50+ 2 men one woman.

I think of Jude the Obscure, the most miserable of novels, but also Jude Law, who always seems like a bit of a shag happy sleaze.

I know of a few, North London, all under 5.

I think of Jude the Obscure immediately. It's a brilliant but harrowing book.

None.

Yes, I think of Jude the Obscure - both the novel and the Oxford pub! And Jude Law.

Never met one.

I don't know any, of any age. Midlands.
