WDYT? Boys

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on the following boys names?

Nolan
Raphael
Jude

Don't like Nolan. Love the other two

Don't like Nolan but the other two are lovely.

I confess I haven't heard of Nolan aside from surname - so makes me think of the Nolans!
Raphael and Jude are both top names. Personal pref for Raphael as I like a name which can be abbreviated. But that's just me.

Jude is gorgeous.

I love Jude.

Raphael is perfectly nice, but far from my favourite name.

I don't like Nolan very much at all as it makes me think of the sisters. It's also quite a common surname where I come from, so it's hard to imagine as a first name. It also sounds a lot like the girl's name Noelene.

Jude is my favourite. Raphael is a bit frilly for me and Nolan just reminds me of the twat Stephen Nolan and The Nolan Show (probably only applicable if you live in NI though)

Love Jude. The other two are awful, but Nolan particularly so.

I like Jude best, then Raphael. Not a fan of Nolan, it's a bit surnamey for me.

I love Rafe/Raff short for Raphael but the full name is a bit much for me. Perfectly nice, but Jude is much more my style.

I love Jude but I am biased as I have one. I was really gutted how popular it's getting though. It's been my favourite name for 20 years!

I honestly love Raphael. Jude is fine.

I really don't like Nolan.

Jude best

Raphael is nice enough

Dislike Nolan

Like Judge, love Raphael, not keen on Nolan (can't help but think of the Nolan sisters when I hear it).

I like Raphael best.

Jude

I really like the name Jude. Raphael is ok but I'm not a big fan. Really don't like Nolan.

I don't see what the problem is with Nolan. It's nice. Raphael is okay and Jude is horrible.

Jude and Raphael are nice. Nolan not so much

I like Jude and Raphael.

I would presume 'Nolan' was a surname if I heard it called out / saw it written down.

The other 2 I don't really like, but it's down to personal taste and the fact I have known a lady for most of my life who is always known as Jude.

Nasty!!!!

Love Raphael, don't feel too much towards Jude. Dislike Nolan.

Like both Raphael & Jude.

Prefer it spelled Rafael (but only because it makes more sense to me culturally - love love love shortening it to Rafe! 😍)

Love Jude, I liked it for my DS but DP vetoed it.
Raphael is good too.
Not a fan of Nolan.
