What do you all think of Jude on a girl?
In March I lost my "aunt" Jude, whom I was very close with to cancer. Her name was Judith, but always went by Judy or, more often, Jude. Growing up, I always admired her ability to keep smiling no matter how hard life got and I truly miss her and want to honor her by naming my daughter after her. My dilemma?
She hated her name.
We use to called her Judith to get a rise out of her.
I don't want to use a name that she didn't care for on my child, which is why I would like to use Jude. It would be a middle name most likely. Is it too masculine? For me, I'm not a gender person, so I think it works. But does it?
So...Jude on a girl. Good? Bad? First name ideas?
Jude for a girl?

I think a wonderful way to honor your aunt would be to use Jude on a boy because your still using her name and all, still has her thought, buy Jude just works nicely on a boy <3 I have Greyson Jude on my list... You could even do Jude Matteo/Mattias/Matthew? I know many people who honor the opposite gender on their babies... Like people who use Philippa or Pippa to honor Philip, Thea to honor Theodore, Willa/Willow to honor William, or Oliver to honor Olivia! <3
Hope this helps! <3

I think that Jude is rather masculine, but it could work as a middle name, seeming it wouldn't be used in everyday life!!
I think that naming her, after your Aunty would be a lovely idea! <3

Thanks for the responses. I would use Judy but my last name ends in the same sound and it just sounds rhyme-y.
My top few right now are:
Emmelyn Jude
Aubrey Jude
Kaylee Jude
Stella Jude
Elizabeth Jude
Anabel Jude
Kendel Jude
Molly Jude
But I do like Jude August & Landon Jude for a boy as well.
I think Emmelyn Jude is my top right now.

I'm not really a fan of Judith, I find it a little dated. As for her middle name, I know it started with a P but I'm not 100% sure what the name was.

Emmelyn Jude is really pretty
Though I prefer the spelling Emmeline.
I also like Aubrey Jude, Kaylee Jude, Stella Jude & Molly Jude.
Maybe you could change it a little, and replace the 'U' with an 'A'.. so like Emmelyn Jade...
I agree with Judith being dated..

I love Emmeline, but I would pronounce it -leen, not -lynn. I'm not sure how I would spell [emma-lynn]. I like Emmelyn & Emelyn. Suggestions?
Jaymey - I'm not really a fan of using other names, I kind of want to use Jude because it's what she always went by. Thanks anyways.
