Well, Judit is an extremely popular name in Hungary, especially for my generation, so Judith is a bit boring for me. Judy, on the other hand, is sweet, but I'm not sure it would age well. But then, Lucy does, so I don't think an 80-year-old Judy would be such a contradiction.

Budgerigars, ceiling fans, the Times of India are all part of the luggage I brought into the world... Blue Jesus leaked into me; and Mary's desperation, and Joseph's revolutionary wildness, and the flightiness of Alice Pereira... all these made me, too.
