Jude?

[Mightybanhammer]

Apparently v popular but all I can think of is poor old Jude the Obscure .

Or for the less well read, the Beatles song.

I love it, it's my son's middle name

Our son was named this for a whole two days but then we decided it didn't suit him so changed it. All his 'new baby' cards say Jude on them.
My eldest (then, 5) called him Judey and it just killed the name for me, I knew he'd get called Judy at school one day and couldn't put him through it.

There are a lot in my area - out of 2 baby groups I know of 5. And I heard it being called in the park yesterday too, so I have a feeling it's getting more popular & will have risen considerably in the stats. I like it though.

I've never even heard of Jude the Obscure. I like it.

DD15 is Jude - just Jude, not Judy, Judith or anything like. I love it, a beautiful unisex name.

Love it.

Love the name Jude, it was on our short list for baby number 2. I've heard that it is meant to be very popular, but I don't know any in real life.
