Ryan, Jude or Corby?

[WhatOnFuckingEarth]

Dc2 is due in two weeks and dh and I have decided on Michaela for a girl but aren’t for a boy. Could anyone shed some light on middle names and help pick an already hard to choose name!

Corby does have an excellent swimming pool bookmum08. And a giant, always half empty, Tesco selling all sorts of Scottish stuff.

I've changed my mind. Defintely Corby!!

I love Corby, adore the place. I wouldn’t call my kid Corby though. (Not snobbery - I also wouldn’t call it Rockingham, Cottingham or East Carlton. Or indeed Kettering)

Caleb Jude
Nathaniel Jude
Jude Nathaniel (you seem to want a name with an N in it)

Ryan seems very dated, somehow.

I have a Jude Samuel

I hate Corby but faced with Damien I'd back it every time.

Love Jude Barnaby

Damian's a great name ! My friend's son is called Damian and, while I didn't think of it for my son (born ten days before hers) I love it.

Corby... Well, you ruled it out. If you like this name though how about Cody ?

Between Ryan and Jude I think I like Ryan better, but I really think Damian is the name I love the most. Classy and not too common. If it wasn't already taken I'd consider it for DS2.

What about Thrapston? Raunds? Maybe Kettering?

Jude! Seth and Jude are lovely sibling names.

PickleSarnie I prefer the Asda in Corby.
When we take the bus from Kettering to Corby it always goes past a road sign warning to look out for Badgers. I always shriek "BADGERS" when we pass it*
How about Badger for a name?
(Sorry OP I am assuming you don't know the town of Corby and why we are kinda talking the piss out of it)

*Apparently this is starting to be a 'bit embarrassing' !

I have a Jude and Seth was on our list (OH can’t say his THs though-ruled it out) Go for Jude!

@Malysh Oooh like Cody, I will mention it to dh!

Koby? Damon?

I like Cody too, the only one I know is in the Navy.

@YinMnBlue Nathaniel is also cool, definitely adding to the ‘mention to dh’ list.

@ButDoUAvocado Koby and Damon are nice but dh will go Kobe Bryant and Matt Damon

Hmm ok, Kane?

Not Corby.
Colby, Corey, Cody?

Jude.

Ryan is very 1990s and should stay there. Corby just sounds made up.

Dh and I have our decision. Jude Matthew for a boy and Michaela Raine for a girl. Thank you for the brilliant suggestions

Like Jude a lot for a boy or girl. My friend’s daughter hates her name Judith but everyone calls her Jude.

Ryan every Jude I knew was reither a girl or a snotty nosed naughty child. And for middle names idk Jame, Lee, Francis, Matthew, Joe?

'Jude Matthew or Michaela Raine'. Both wonderful choices - good luck OP.

How about Rory?

Kind of a mash up between Ryan and Corby which ends up being a far far niceer name than either! I love Rory - very outdoorsy.

Also love Jude though - that would be my choice.

Ryan is awful - feels really outdated. Corby TERRIBLE.

Jude.

Not keen on the other two at all but Jude is great.

Hello, quick update. Our handsome son Jude Matthew was born at 1:07 this morning weighing 5.5lb
