Jude or Joseph - votes please!

[Biccy]

Our surname begins with a hard G.

DS is 3 weeks old and we just cannot make up our minds!

Help!

Jude, Jude, Jude! There, that's another three votes for Jude. What about Jude Alexander? (fantasy ds's name)

Had DD2 been a boy she would have been Jude so I vote for that. Having said that I think Joseph is lovely too and know of a couple of baby Judes but no recent baby Josephs in my circle of friends.

Jude!
I love it and want it.

Pleeeease can I have a baby boy called Jude??

PS. Go with your heart

Wish I'd called my ds Jude.

Jude. It's my DT2's 2nd name.

Do like Joseph too though, but on the whole another vote for Jude!

LOVE them both! Not much help, is that? Sorry!

Jude for me. Joseph is a bit too popular.

Go with your heart then - Jude is a lovely name. There's no need for your head to feel put out

Jude

Jude, but I also like Joseph.

I prefer Joseph, but by the sound of it I think you'll regret it if you don't call him Jude, so go for the name you love.

Go on, give the poor little thing a name, he's 3 weeks old!!

I have a joseph so I am clearly biased towards it, but I also think the overall euphony, or niceness of sound of name counts for a good deal.

My RL name is an unfortunate one in that when you say my first name and surname together it is actually quite hard to articulate (ta parents), and sounds a bit bonkers.

Joseph gets my vote. But then i have one of those and he's gorgeous
Jude just makes me think of Jude Law - yuk.

I couldn't decide between the 2. Went for Joseph in the end because it has a family connection.
If you go for Joseph be warned that everyone will call him Joe. We like Joe so that's fine by us.
Both lovely though, you won't regret either.
I'm no help, am I?!

Joseph.

I love Jude too though - OOh i can't decide!

ps Possibly my most unhelpful post EVER! Sorry!

joseph I have one fab name!

ooh, Jude's winning now. Have told dp I want to go for Jude, and he says he's heading in the same direction, so perhaps we're nearly there!

right, c'mon then jude, let's do that nappy and see if we can't get some sleep!

thanks for all your responses.

Jude, definitely

Such a long time since I logged on... just thought in case anyone would be amused that I'd update on you on our choice of, erm, Henry.

Joseph is a lovely name. Don't like Jude....Reminds me of Judus..sorry!

Jude is best, Joseph is so boring.

Just looked at the dates of the posts!

Henry is a great name .

Both are fab!
