[Opinions] I had a similar reaction
I felt the same way! Once I really started hearing it more out loud and in my head, I liked it much more than I thought I would. Now I've been thinking that it's a nice, more serious-sounding "full" name option for Jude, and sounds handsome as well.
I think I used to think of it as too Biblical, but I also sort of think that adds to its appeal (Jeremiah, Jedediah, Ezra, Ezekial, Levi, Elijah, etc. are all gaining in popularity with the resurgence of grandparent and great-grandparent names haha so I think that helps).
Judah Cole is nice. (and I don't even really like Cole, but they sound good together) Judah Hayden is okay, but I don't like Judah Christian much, sorry.
Judah Evan, Judah Michael, Judah Alexander, Judah Benjamin, Judah Henry
