Judith

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Judith and Judy. I really like it and it's similar to Meredith which I also really like.

I struggle to imagine it on a baby though as it seems an older woman name, but then there is a Judy on Paddington and that doesn't seem out of place.

Judy has a nice 1950s vibe. But Judith doesn’t do it for me. Sounds a bit prim and smug.

I have a 30 something cousin called Judith. I like it and as I've known her as a baby, child and woman, it seems to have fitted each age well.

I like Judith with Jude as a nickname.

Don't worry if it seems like it's old fashioned, it wouldn't have been that long ago that names like Mabel and Ivy would have raised eyebrows, but there are loads of them about now.

I quite like it, I really like Jude as a nn for a girl.

I like Judy much more than I like Judith.
I like Trudy/Trudie too.

Not keen on Judith. Judy is nice.
Don't like Jude for either a girl or boy.
Meredith is ok as a surname but not as a first name

I see the appeal of Judith and I think it’s feeling quite fresh, though I’m not personally a fan. Jude would be a good nickname. Judy is pretty awful to me though.

Don’t like it at all, sorry OP! Reminds me of “sorry judith” on Come Fly With Me (Matt Lucas & David Walliams)
Judy is better but Meredith is far nicer than both imo!

I really like Judith!

It sounds so refreshing after the recent trend of cutesy names like Evie, Ellie, etc.

Judy or Jude are lovely nicknames!

It's my name! I've never known another I'm 57, friends call me Jude

I like it with Jude as a nickname, but I think Judith isn't back in yet in the same way other vintage names are.

Jude is a lovely nickname for Judith. Cool and beautiful sounding.

Judith reminds me of the little girl on The Walking Dead - I HATED it when they named this tiny baby Judith but it has definitely grown with the character and I like it now! If you like it then go for it!

This is my name and I absolutely hate it.
I am 51 and have never met another one of a similar age. They all seem to be at least thirty years older.
It is such a hard sounding name.

I love it. I think it’s grown up and elegant, and sounds very fresh compared to all the twee cutesy names that are so popular now.

Love the name Judith, I think it's due a revival. I think it has a strong but not harsh vibe.

I love it! Wish I was naming a baby and could use it.

I really like Judith, don’t like Judy though which sounds old-fashioned.

Judith was a famous heroine. It's a great name, commemorating a brave and beautiful woman.

Hey! Nowt prim about me.😀

I like it! Same as pp, I prefer Jude rather than Judy as a shortened version.

I love the name Judith – would have been the name I would’ve given to a daughter if I’d had one 🥰
(I don’t like Judy though!)

I prefer Merredith personally

Hi! 48 year old one here!
I feel like it's an old fashioned name, can't picture a baby Judith at all

Not that keen on Judy though I'm not sure why. I actually really like Judith, and although I find it hard to picture a baby or a little girl with that name now, t would only take a few intrepid people to turn it around.
