We are pregnant with our first baby and find out the gender tomorrow. We have Evelyn for a girl, and Jude for a boy. What are your opinions on Jude?

Love it!

It was my first choice but exDP hated it Sad saint jude is the patron saint of lost and hopeless causes (used to pray for his intercession often!) and I felt like having a baby really was the thing that made me get my shit together- because I was on a v dark path when I fell pregnant.
DS isn’t a Jude now, very different name, but still smile when I come across a baby Jude.

Lovely name. Cool and fresh but somehow classic sounding.

OldAndWornOut · 11/05/2019 19:41

I love it.

BreconBeBuggered · 11/05/2019 19:41

I like it

Nemo1189 · 11/05/2019 19:53

I love it. Any middle name ideas?

WatchingTheWheels85 · 11/05/2019 19:56

I have a Jude he's 16. To be honest I've not come across another in person (we live in rural pembrokeshire). I do wish I named him his middle name which is in honour of my cat

I actually prefer it for a boy than I do for a girl.

Cbeebiesrehab · 11/05/2019 19:59

I have an Evelyn...my son is Jude!!😳😂

Love love love it. It's my DS2's name Smile born earlier this year. We've had nothing but compliments.

Hey! Grin

MarieToulouseBerlioz · 11/05/2019 20:08

I really like it! :)

Mwnci123 · 11/05/2019 20:15

I like it. Maybe some will think of it as an abbreviation of Judith and therefore a girl's name. But I think it's a good one.

mimibunz · 11/05/2019 20:16

Love it!

ICE50 · 11/05/2019 20:17

Yes!!!

3boysandabump · 11/05/2019 20:18

I love it. One of my sons friends is a Jude. He's 9. Never met another one

Greeborising · 11/05/2019 20:21

Excellent name

Fluffyhairforever · 11/05/2019 20:21

Really lovely! Good luck!

formerbabe · 11/05/2019 20:28

Always very popular on these boards but I think it's awful. Seems very try hard to me.

MikeUniformMike · 11/05/2019 20:37

I don't like it. I'm not keen on Evelyn either.

BikeTart · 11/05/2019 20:37

I like it, my DGS is called Jude.

Gigia · 11/05/2019 20:37

Love it and love Evelyn too.

Janus · 11/05/2019 20:39

I really like it too.

kayvade · 11/05/2019 20:41

I like it but until recently i would have thought it was too religious.

jp237 · 11/05/2019 20:45

I know a Jude and it's a lovely name but they face a lifetime of having 'Hey Jude' sung at them daily 😂
