Jude or Julian???

[JudeorJulian]

Which do you prefer?

Julian, it's a bit more flexible. If you care about popularity, Jude is far more popular (Julian #272 and Jude #61)

Jude. Went to school with a ghastly Julian

Jude. Julian sounds weak.

Jude. A million times. Julian is ridiculous.

I like both but Jude slightly more. However, Julian nn Jude would be fab and maybe the best of both worlds? I also love Jules as a standalone name, like Jules Verne.

I find Jude very weak/wet. Maybe because of The similarity with Judy?

Julian sounds strong and masculine to me

I like both but prefer Jude, well I prefer Judah nn Jude

Jude

Jude!

100% Jude.
Julian is drippy.

Julian. Definitely Julian.

Jude

I dislike both.

I don't love either. I know Jude is a boys name but I have several friends who are Jude-short-for-Judith so I always associate it with them.

What about Julius?

Jude. My 8 yr old is super cool .
My best friend has a 1 yr old Julius.

Jude

Seconding Julius as an alternative
