My DS is Jude and have heard only heard of a couple of them.

My DGM's church was St Jude's - so she was always keen; the patron saint of hopeless causes

Jasper- love it! Unique and strong but also quite classic. I would use this myself
Henry- Nice and strong but very popular
Ellis- too surname-y
Jude- hey Jude. Also a bit feminine
Ezra- not keen
Elliot- really really dislike. A bit ‘wet’
Max- ok
Louis- really don’t like it
Chester- no
Hugo- nice

Sylvie- not keen. Prefer Sylvia
Violet- lovely!
Edith (nn. Edie)- bit drab and frumpy
Ada- not keen
Elodie- dislike
Lily- I know it’s so popular but I absolutely love this name! One of the few names that’s popularity wouldn’t put me off!
Harriet- not keen at all
Eliza- really beautiful

I like Jasper, Henry, Lily, Eliza and Violet
