Jude - in a Scottish accent????

[FlashingLights11]

I’m english, living in Scotland and I’m expecting a baby boy. I love the name Jude but I’m thinking of how it will sound in a Scottish accent. It’s a much shorter vowel sound, if that makes sense and I’m not sure if it will sound so good. I don’t want to tell anyone the names we’re considering so I haven’t been able to hear how it actually sounds. Any Scottish people on here who could help me decide?

I'm Glaswegian and it sounds nice to me in broad weegie- I think it's a lovely name. I know 2 young Jude's.

A little boy I know has just been named Jude. It's just Jood.

Well where abouts in Scotland? There's lots of accents here.

Depends which accent I think as there's a fair variation across Scotland. Here (east coast) it would be Jew-d with quite a long 'oo' sound albeit I have just tried saying it in a flawless English accent and it is longer. I can see that on the west coast it might be quite abrupt and almost 'Jid' (like gid for good in a broad west coast accent).

Nice name though!

Jude would be said with a schwa sound in the Scottish accent in my head. So it doesn’t have the long oo sound.

What in the world - what? Can you explain more? I've tried and can't figure out what you mean.

Having Scottish relatives and heard the name said ,it sounded more like Judd.

I'm Scottish and would pronounce it jood but I agree I say it very quickly so it appears as a very short sound. My husband is English and he says it with a much longer sound. It is lovely though, you should use it!

I know a couple of Judes and I live in Glasgow. It's a lovely name. I don't think it sounds bad in a Scottish accent.

It could come across as a shortened vowel sound, but is still a lovely name and it wouldn’t sound awful at all, just different.

It might get shortened a bit to sound like the u in 'put' - Jud more than Jude. But both sound good (guid) and it's a great name.

I actually suggested Judith to my SO recently but then decided against it because we live in Northern Ireland and so would have the same problem with the vowel as you would have - it's a shame because I love the name Jude, I just know I couldn't handle nearly everyone (including her probably, if we stayed in NI) mispronouncing it!

I'm Scottish and have always loved Jude. I think it sounds lovely.

Don't know why I didn't push for it when we had ds.

It sounds nice in my accent! (Glaswegian)

They're not mispronouncing it, they just have a different accent to you

Sorry, I misspoke - didn't mean to offend

I think Jude is a lovely name.

I can't do a proper Scottish accent but as far as I can it sounds good.

Jude is an ace name.

A schwa is a phonetic sound. Google will explain better than me. I would say Jood but in parts of Scotland It wouldn’t have a long oo but a schwa. Like in book.

I have a Jude and it still sounds lovely when my Scottish family (Edinburgh) say the name

Everyone is calling their child Jude. Dislike it alot, reminds me of Jude the obscure, not a good link.

Really don't like it. Jude the obscure and Judas.
I like Jed.

Jed is a knob.

I think Jude is a nice name. Jude the Obscure had ambition and aspirations, although he didn't have a happy time of it in the end. And St Jude was one of the Apostles, so called to differentiate him from Judas, who's a different one.
