[Opinions] Jude
Replies
It's okay.
I don't care for it. I can't get Hey Jude out of my head.
Love it!
One of my top favorites for a boy for some time now. I think it's classic, while maintaining a sense of modernity...and it's not overly used.

I like it, but I prefer it as a NN for Julian.
I like it, but it has a nicknamey vibe to it.
No
Jude is one of my least favourite names of all time. Partly because I find the sound really unattractive - Rude Jude, lewd Jude, Jude the prude, crude Jude, Jude pooed.
But mainly because Jude is the German word for Jew. Even though it is pronounced differently (in German J=Y, and the e isn't silent) I've been to Auschwitz and Sachsenhausen. The word Jude was everywhere, and as a result is forever tied in my mind with the horrific things that happened there. Things that I couldn't even imagine happened until I was there where they actually did. I still have nightmares about what I saw and learnt. I can't separate the word Jude from that.
So I really can't stand Jude. Which is funny, because I love Judah. But I'd never use it, because of the chance it would be shortened to Jude.

I really despise it. It's such an unattractive sound. For some reason, whenever I hear this name, I get a picture in my mind's eye of a big, hulking, hairy Neanderthal. Also Judas Iscariot. Whom I picture as a big, hulking, hairy Neanderthal. Blech.
funny about Judas ...
I picture him as a weaselly, slicked-back-hair kind of guy in a too-tight suit and with a big phony toothpaste-ad smile.

I like it. It's handsome. I just wish it wasn't the Swedish word for 'jew'. Wouldn't work here. :)
I really like the name Jude a lot. It's handsome, masculine, simple yet still strong. It's not overly popular either, which is a bonus.
