[Opinions] We're planning on naming our first daughter Judith.
in reply to a message by Lily8
After her great aunt and I've also recently come around to loving the nn Judy.
Most of the Judiths I know are in their 50s or older, save one. I know a Judith Ferne (my aunt) and Judith Nadine (she would be 12 or 13 now). Both used Judy.
As for its' popularity: Probably. It was very popular in the 1920s and I'm seeing more and more '20s names pop up. I'm not sure it will ever regain its original popularity but it will get up there. Not for a while, though.
Re: Religious
Well, I don't know how to answer that question. I would say that my boyfriend and I are borderline "very religious" - but not in the sense you mean, I think. We do love the name because of its' religious connotations but also it's beauty and meaning. Again, though...the religious connotations of the name play a big role in why I want to use it.
And our combo is Judith Cecilia.
