Baby's name Jude....

[Zaplolly]

What does everyone think? I'm pretty set and love it too bits for son but just wondering what general thoughts are? I don't think it's something that can be made fun of etc, apart from the obvious 'hey jude' but that's not a bad thing! 

I really like it.

My neighbour named his kid that. He’s one of those weird middle aged people who still have a 90s BritPop hairstyle and dress like Oasis even though it was 20 years ago.

It's my DS name he's now 14 and he loves it and I love it. He's never ever been called "Judy" the only thing he has ever had is dude!

Quite nice but somewhat 'Obscure'.
Still he could be given the nickname, "Judith", which in the current climate, would be appropriate.

Current climate?

I love it.
If I was young enough to still have children, it would definitely be top of my list.

Great strong name nothing wrong with the Beatles song also that's your lullaby sorted for LO arrival!

It’s a bit blah, wet and overdone like Noah.

Apart from the fact that Noah is top 5 and Jude is 50th.

I love Jude. It's one of my favourite boys' names. Cool without being too try hard.
I know one Jude in his late 20s who plays in a band. I haven't heard it for babies or young children at all irl, but I do see it a lot on the baby name lists on here. I'm in inner London.
If I associate it with anyone it's Jude Law.

I really like it for a boy.

It’s ok, but I can’t get past it being German for ‘Jew’

When I visited Poland there was lots of graffiti everywhere saying ‘Anty Jude’ so it has bad connotations for me

A person I know has a son named Jude. When he was baby, being bathed, his older sisters sang
Hey Jude, I saw you nude
Don't try to fake it, I saw you naked

They are all grown now, no long term ill effects, and he suits the name Jude well.

I love Jude, so much is my second sons name! Majority of people love it and it gets remarked on as a lovely name by a lot of people who hear it. We like singing Hey jude to him now while he’s a baby!

It's a cool name. The song is awful mind

I love it!! I thought of Jude Law before the beatles

I love it. I think it's really cool and a strong name.

I like it.

It's German for Jew.

So what Sunflower? Jew isn’t a negative word.

I'm not implying that it's negative. I'm just pointing out that Jude has very different connotations and pronunciations outside of the UK. Who know where op's son might live or work one day?

I totally appreciate that but people call their children Christian and it doesn’t seem to cause an issue.

But Christian is a very well known name in pretty much all western languages/cultures. Its also pronounced pretty much the same.

I love the name and would have called my boy that but can't get over the sheer misery that was Jude's life In Jude the Obscure.

I like it!
