[Opinions] Juda
What do you think of Juda? Also, what middle name would you give Juda?I've really started falling for it lately, though I never really fall for boys' names, just sort of grow to kind of like them. I've always like Jude, but it's too popular in the UK for me to use it. Oddly, I'm not as big a fan of Judah.Much obliged!

I don't like it. While it is definitely legitimate it looks like an incomplete Judah and it just bothers me. Is there a subtle difference in how Arabic Js are pronounced, do you know? I wonder if that could bring me around. I definitely prefer the transcription with a J over the one with a G I see when I follow the links. I'm feeling funky today so I think Juda Bjorn. I doubt I would pick that at another time though.I will say if you're not prone to falling for boy names and you find yourself doing so now, hang onto it! Forget everyone's opinions.

I'm not a Judah fan either, but the -h does make it look familiar and complete. Juda could be a feminised version - that's what I expected - or even a nn for a Judith who was avoiding Judy.If it were me, I'd stay with Judah. For a mn, I'd avoid initial vowels and anything Old Testament. Juda(h) Clive is unexpected; Juda(h) Nicholas; Juda(h) Sebastian; Juda(h) Leslie is pleasantly retro; Juda(h) Stephen.

I think I prefer Yehudah, personally.

I love both Juda and Judah, but I've never liked Jude. Is it really that popular in the UK? Possible middle names:Juda Rafferty
Juda Gabriel
Juda Harrison
Juda Fletcher
Juda Montgomery
Juda Solomon

For some reason, Juda looks softer and more feminine to me. I much prefer Judah, but I like Judea best overall. Yes, it's a place name, but I find the sound more pleasant (emphasis on the long e sound rather than the long u sound).

Juda is alright, but I much prefer Judah. As for mns, there are plenty of names that would work, it just depends on what you are after.

Juda is nice and I definitely prefer it to Jude or Judah. My favorite is Judas, but because of the negative connotations, I don't think that it's useable.Juda Michael
Juda Joseph
Juda Stephen
