Our surname begins with a hard G.

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

Help!

Joseph is gorgeous, Jude is terrible imo.

Jude is lovely; Joseph is fine but quite common (in the sense of ubiquitous, rather than chavtastic). Pick Jude!

Joseph

I called my 19 year old Joseph (our surname is S) and called him Joe from day 1.

Ever since he has been able to choose he has called himself Joseph and he loves it.

Jude is the patron saint of lost causes and policemen.

St Joseph Day is 19 March which is very near my birthday which helped me choose.

Joseph by far. All Josephs/Joes I have taught have been lovely. I find Jude a bit monochrome.

Jude!

They're both good though.
