Edward or Jude?

[knott88]

DS due next week and we are torn between the two- which do you prefer?

Jude!!!!!!! My fave name of all time!!

Really like both but I think I'd choose Jude.

Judy Judy Judy Judy Judy, Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah hey Jude

I quite like Ed too though

Edward

Jude, although Edward is nice too and I love the nicknames Ned and Ted(dy).

Jude is short for Judas, and makes me think of Judas Iscariot, betraying Christ and committing suicide - hardly a nice connotation for a child’s name! And then the term Judas goat- an animal trained to lead other animals to the slaughter house while bring spared itself. And the Judas tree - thought to be the species on which Judas hanged himself.

Edward, don't like Jude at all

Edward. don't like Jude at all.
Edward nn Ed or Eddy. Not Ned or Ted.

Saint Jude is the saint of hopeless causes. IMHO a great name! But I also love Edward. It’s a toughie.

Edward is lovely. Jude always makes me a bit sad. How about Edward Jude?

Edward

Jude! One of my favourites.

Jude :)

Jude's beautiful

Love Jude! Not sure many people would automatically make the connection with Judas nowadays

Jude is very popular now, i really, really dislike it. However, Edward is a classy name.

Mad Edward is 23rd in the charts. Jude is 50th.

Both nice but Jude is the best (biased)

Edward

Edward

Edward.

Jude is a separate name from Judas (both are in the Bible as different people) so I don't think you should worry about that connection. I still prefer Edward, though.

I like both but really dislike Teddy so would discount Edward if you were thinking of using that

Edward.
Really don't like Jude.

However, you will just get a list of people's choices. They are quite different sorts of names so some of us will like the one sort and some the other - I don't think people will be able to give you strong reasons, it's just a personal preference thing.

Edward

Definitely Edward, dislike Jude

@Madbengalmum yeah Edward isn't popular though 🙄
