So, I don't know what it is, but I really like the name Jude for a boy lately :wub:

The weird thing is, I don't like Jude or Judith for a girl. I have no idea why.

I doubt I'd ever actually use it because of the femininity to it, but it's a guilty pleasure at the moment.

What do you all think of it?

Jude is such a handsome name! I believe the reason for your lack of interest towards Judith is the fact that it's a very clunky and old-fashioned name. The first time I've heard it within this generation would be from the Walking Dead when they named the baby Judith. Some people do tend to stick this name as a middle name spot which,to me, is perfectly fine.

Great choice on Jude. Jude Alexander screams sophisticated Doctor to me. :P

Yeah, Judith kind of seems like an older lady name to me, and that's probably why. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's cute, though ;)

Aw Jude is a handsome name! Very bada$$ in my opinion ;) Idk, I think of a guitarist, and an outgoing boy, and just someone cool all around. Jude Alexander is a wicked handsome combo! I just feel like they suit each other perfectly, idk. Other middle name suggestions..

Jude Isaiah
Jude Vincent
Jude Oliver
Jude Theodore
Jude Nathaniel
Jude Camden
Jude Marcus
Jude Thomas
Jude Tobias
Jude William

I think Judah or Judas are also super handsome, but just Jude is really nice <3 I kinda liked Judith I guess, I think partially because I like old fashioned names. But I dislike it because it almost feels too manly because it sounds so much like Jude. But its in the same way as Charlotte and Charles, or Theodora and Theodore. Sounds a little manly, but still like it. Idk :)

The only take back I have on Jude is because of the book Jude The Obscure. If you like the name Jude, don't read that book!! Kinda ruins the name for me lol <3 Like its a fabulous book, a classic and all. Just depressing and what not...

GL! <3

I haven't read that book, but now I don't want to, since I really love this name :P

Ooh, I like Jude Theodore too! :wub: I've gotta add that one to my list!

I like Jude for a boy and only a boy. Judith has always had the nickname of Judy for me. When I hear Jude I think of Jude Law, whom is actually David Jude Heyworth Law.
