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.

Dislike Judith but I like Judy, Jude and Meredith.

It's a decent name but I don't find it attractive. As a young woman I wouldn't like to be called Judith at the moment. It is also religious sounding to me.

Judy is cute but then again I feel like it needs a longer version and Judith doesn't appeal to me.

I think it won't come back for quite some time (if it ever does) because Judy is quite close to Jodie which was popular all through the 70s, 80s and 90s - too recently for a comeback.

Judith's sound also goes against everything that is fashionable now. Starts with a J (J feels like more of a dated first initial for girls: Jessica, Jennifer, Jodie, Jade), not many vowels, harsh sounds.
