Having planned c section on Feb 7th. We are not sure what we are having yet but almost everyone has said boy based on my bump. We have a boy and girl already (Belle and Milo). Thanks!

Jude matches your current names perfectly I think! Great names.
Good luck with the c section xx

mum2bejen · 26/01/2017 11:48

Another vote for Jude! :-)

MuddyMoose · 26/01/2017 12:04

I prefer Jude. Good luck with your c section x

I think that Jude goes better with your other names. Also, I can never quite get past 'rude' with the name Rudy.

Pipilangstrumpf · 26/01/2017 12:21

Jude definitely!

Rudy is way too rude!

MollyHuaCha · 26/01/2017 12:21

Jude

DramaAlpaca · 26/01/2017 12:22

Jude

Jude!
I knew a lovely Jude when I worked in Scotland. On the other hand, there's a Rudy in my hometown who is a well-known local personality who thinks he's God and goes around predicting people's futures. He's amusing and probably harmless but it's not got a good connotation for me!

I know exactly which town you live in Namechange!

Namechangearoo · 26/01/2017 12:38

Hahaha dailyshite I knew someone would! Grin

Rudy gets my vote. I think I am the only one! I knew a Rudi years ago in the Netherlands. He was very handsome. A bit of a holiday fling, only to find out afterwards he had a girlfriend. Sad
Jude was on my 1st baby name list; but rejected by my dh at the time. (Now ex. Grin)

WhyOhWine · 26/01/2017 12:52

i think Jude Law has a son called Rudy.

I prefer Jude. I used to think of it as more of a girl's name, as I knew various Judiths at school, and some of them got shortened to Jude. I have got over that now though.

Rudy sounds a bit rude and could also be misheard as Ruby. I dont dislike it though.

What is your name if you have a girl?

Jooni · 26/01/2017 12:55

Rudy is nice and a bit more unusual, but I personally prefer Jude. Lovely, strong, straightforward name.

Willialwaysbelookeddownon · 26/01/2017 12:57

I loooove Rudy. Jude just reminds me of Jude Law who I can't stand and 'Hey Jude' which I equally can't stand!

Scattymere · 26/01/2017 12:57

OP your DCs names are beautiful and I love both Rudy and Jude, but as I've come across lots of little boys called Jude lately and its super trendy so lost its quirky uniqueness for me- I'd go for the lovely Rudy. Rudy is more unusual so people here probably going for Jude, but Rudy is a real grower- adorable on a boy and lovely on a man too.

Sophronia · 26/01/2017 13:00

I prefer Rudy

fullyupholstered · 26/01/2017 13:02

Another vote for Jude.

BroomstickOfLove · 26/01/2017 13:08

Jude, partly because I like the name, but mostly because I have been humming A Message to You Rudy under my breath since this appeared on active threads and now I can't get it out of my head.

macd77 · 26/01/2017 13:18

Oh thank you everyone!! Still very undecided...my husband prefers Rudy and I prefer Jude but we may wait to see who appears before making a decision!!

Jude.

Willialwaysbelookeddownon · 26/01/2017 13:45

What girls name have you picked? Blush

macd77 · 26/01/2017 13:54

Again, very undecided on girls. We like Martha, Kitty and Vivi (short for Vivien/Vivian/Vivienne).

I think Jude is more masculine so one vote there. Good luck!

goldenrachita · 26/01/2017 14:13

I'm in the minority but Jude is a bit overused for my taste. It does go well with your current names and fits your taste well.
Personally, I really love Rudy. I think it's a strong, joyful name that is also a little bit posh (in a very good way).

MuddyMoose · 26/01/2017 16:48

Martha is a beautiful name!
