Opinions please on our boys name.

[SweeeeetCaroline]

Jude?

We think we’ve decided but want a general idea of public opinion.

Thanks.

Love it! I had it on my list for this baby, but DH said no .

I read on here that it's becoming more popular, but I don't know any and think I've only ever overheard it once at a park.

Hey Jude.

I like it. It's gaining popularity I know of 3 born this year.

Love it! Was on my list but vetoed by DH.

Love the name itself, but Jude the Obscure is such a tragic book that I couldn't have used the name myself.

I do know a little boy called Jude, and I know it is a perfectly good boys name, but I admit I know several Judiths who are generally called Jude and that is my first thought when I hear the name.

Judas. No.

I love it! I'll definitely be using it!

No. I don't understand the hype around it at all.

and I am someone who has children with 'of the moment' names

I wanted to call DS3 Jude but my friend beat me to it.

It's a cool hipster name (if you like that sort of thing, I do)

I have a Jude so hugely biased. We're huge Beatles fans and it's been my favourite name for 20 odd years. I don't like that it's getting popular though so please don't use it

Not keen, sorry

I love it. It would have been on my list but it ready doesn't go with our surname. It's a bane that I think carries well from childhood through to adulthood

Seems to be getting very popular lately - I know 3 under 2s called Jude. I like it but it is quite feminine.

I don't like it, but maybe that's just because I hate the Beatles.

I don't like it but that doesn't matter some people probably don't likey kids names.

like my not likey! Bloody phone.

Makes me think of Judas but otherwise gives

Tbh it's one of those names I don't like the sound of. It's the 'oood' that doesn't sound attractive to me. But that is so subjective. If you like the sound of it then go for it. It's not over-used and I can't think of any bad connotations etc.

I've watched too many WW2 documentaries and films as to my 'Jude' is German for Jew.

I love it but it is very popular near me. I know quite a few under 4, particularly babies born last year.

We very nearly called our ds this but dh wasn't 100% so didn't in the end. I've loved it since being a teenager as, although it is unbearably depressing, Jude the Obscure is one of my favourite books.

Personally, I don't like the sound at all.

However, I'm in the minority I know.

Good luck
