I love Jude, but upon seeing it the Beatles song inevitably starts playing in my head. :)Lucy - Very cute
Prudence - Really dislike it.
Sadie - Cute, but I'd be inclined to use Sarah "Sadie" for some reason.Max - It's getting kind of boring for me.
JoJo - Alright.
Daniel - Love!

I absolutely love the name Jude! It's my number one favorite boys' name (and has been for quite some time). I think it's a handsome name that ages well, seems classy, and is underused.Lucy - cute
Prudence - dnmsaa...sounds so harsh and dated imo
Sadie - sweet (used to be one of my top faves, and though it has dropped on my list, I still like it)Max - prefer as a NN
JoJo - too nicknamey imo
Daniel - okay

I like Jude a lot but it's not one of my favorites.
I also like Daniel from that list.

I watched it today too! I first saw it a few months ago and fell in love.
Jude is such a handsome name and it's one of my favorite Beatles songs (top 10). It's so short but far from being boring--it's been creeping up towards my favorites for a while now.The only other name from the movie that I like is Max, but it's too popular for me to ever use...it doesn't have the same wow-factor that Jude has.

Jude is short, to the point, and not overly used where I come from. I like it, but something holds me back about it and "Hey, Jude" is one of my favourite songs. It's in that between area with names like Beckett, and Ezra for me.Lucy - cute, DH hasn't warmed up to this name even though he likes it and loves the similar Lily.
Prudence - guilty pleasure for me, wouldn't use it though.
Sadie - we both like it, it's in the same league as Jude.Max - DH doesn't like it and the fact that Christina A. & The couple from that Bachelor have sons with this name and J-Lo is rumoured to be using it, makes it feel too used right now.
JoJo - nn only. Love Joe.
Daniel - yawn.

Jude is okay, I would never use it but it's a fine name.
I don't like any of the others but...
Though I hate Prudence I do like Pru.
Max is okay, I like it as a nn for Maxwell. I just can't get the dog association out of my head.

it's nice getting popular for a boy. I adore it as a first name on a girl [to which I would use] and as a MN better on a boy.I like Lucy a lot

I dislike Jude on a boy. I understand that it is a masculine name but it seems extremely feminine to me (because of the names Judith and Judy). Therefore, I dislike it for a boy but love it for a girl. *ducks for cover*I really like the name Prudence with the nn Pru.Max is nice as a nn for Maxwell, Maxen, or Maxim.
