1) What do you think of the name Jude? - I used to adore it, but now I associate it so much with Jude Law, it therefore seems too celeb-trendy to use. :( Also, he's not got the best rep anymore. :-/
2) What do you think of the name Jude Levi? - Brief but nice
3) Can you think of any other middle names for Jude? - I'd like a longer mn, such as Jude Sebastian, Jude Maximilian, Jude Augustus.
4) Do you think Jude "fits" with potential siblings Oliver Eli, Clara and Tobias Van? - Definitely.

) What do you think of the name Jude? Very Brit-chic, thanks the Beatles and Mr. Law, and the quirky factor (Patron st of lost causes and a hairsbreadth away from Judas)
2) What do you think of the name Jude Levi? Biblically cute, not in-your-face, and masculine enough to overcome the cuteness.
3) Can you think of any other middle names for Jude? I put family names in the middle.
4) Do you think Jude "fits" with potential siblings Oliver Eli, Clara and Tobias Van? Completely. Very upper-middle-class London. Could possibly sound dated in ten years, all are top names in England, but they are classics too to balance the popularity. And names are often popular for a reason!

1) What do you think of the name Jude? - I'm one of the few people who like this name on a girl. I hate it on a boy.

2) What do you think of the name Jude Levi? - It flows well but I don't like either of the names.

3) Can you think of any other middle names for Jude? - Jude Maxwell, Jude Michael, Jude Daniel, Jude Nathan, Jude Benjamin, Jude Isaac, Jude Samuel, Jude William, Jude Zachary

4) Do you think Jude "fits" with potential siblings Oliver Eli, Clara and Tobias Van? - It fits pretty well with the other names. But I still don't like the name at all.

I should probably say something witty here... (thinking) *sigh* ... la la la la ... (still thinking) *sigh again* Nope. Nothing.

It's interesting that you prefer it for a girl. The only person that I know personally with the name Jude is female! I think that because it sounds so much like Judy and Judith, that it is a legitimate nickname. I do think that it could go either way, I just think it suits boys better.
Thankyou for your suggestions, Jude Maxwell is cute. Jude Michael is a running theme, maybe I should give it more thought. Thanks for your help!

1) What do you think of the name Jude? I used to love it, however Jude Law's actions make it unusable for me (though I still think its hip).
2) What do you think of the name Jude Levi? Very nice, I like the combination's flow and balance.
3) Can you think of any other middle names for Jude? Jude Elijah or Isaiah
4) Do you think Jude "fits" with potential siblings Oliver Eli, Clara and Tobias Van? Really well, they're all well known but not overdone and definitely have that same casual chic flair.

Thank you for your suggestions, I like Jude Isaiah and I like Elijah too, but if I ever used that it would be with Oliver. I'm not sure about casual chic flair, but thank you for the compliment!

1) What do you think of the name Jude?
I like it. The patron saint of lost causes according to Catholicism is St. Jude, and he is my mother's favorite saint. I always had a soft spot for it. I think it's masculine without being in your face, KWIM?

2) What do you think of the name Jude Levi?
I think I would prefer to see something longer with it, but I like both names individually.

3) Can you think of any other middle names for Jude?
Jude Alexander
Jude Philip
Jude Law (couldn't help it :0P )
Jude Ethan
Jude Evan

4) Do you think Jude "fits" with potential siblings Oliver Eli, Clara and Tobias Van?
Yes, I think they fit. :)

Thank you, I didn't know that St. Jude was the patron saint of lost causes-that makes me like the name even more! I like Jude Alexander.

1) What do you think of the name Jude? I like it! Nice Biblical flare, not over the top
2) What do you think of the name Jude Levi? Like it! Nice and Biblical
3) Can you think of any other middle names for Jude? Any Biblical mn that doesn't start w/ "J"- Isaiah, Ezra, Michael, Abraham, Thomas, Bartholomew-
4) Do you think Jude "fits" with potential siblings Oliver Eli, Clara and Tobias Van? With a bit of a stretch of the imagination, but not really-

Thankyou for your reply. I like Jude Isaiah and Jude Thomas. When you say "With a bit of a stretch of the imagination, but not really" do you mean it doesn't really fit, or it doesn't really need a stretch of the imagination? Thank you!

I meant it really didn't fit, at least not in my opinion.

Ok, thanks! I wasn't sure if it fitted, I just wanted to clarify what you had written. Thank you!

1. I think of Jude Law first. Then apart from him i think of a brown haired guy with glasses. There was a movie about some girl on an airplane with a psycho killer recently. That guy is what i think of.
2. It's okay-not bad-just okay.
3. Jude Cole
Jude Payton
Jude Robert
Jude Lee
Jude Matthew
Jude Ryan
4. Yes I think it works.

Thankyou for your reply, I like Jude Cole and Jude Matthew. In the film you mentioned, was the psycho killer called Jude or was he just a character? Lol. Thankyou!

Maybe a little like a Clark Kent!

1) What do you think of the name Jude? I like it, aside from the Jude Law association. It think it's a classic name and it had a musical ring to it that I like.

2) What do you think of the name Jude Levi? Levi is just one of those names that are super-Biblical (no offense meant - I have a cousin named Levi!) and it just doesn't seem to fit with the Jude...

3) Can you think of any other middle names for Jude? Michael, Olivier (or Oliver), Aidan, Leslie (why am I suddenly stuck on this name?), Connor, Ariston, Owen, Devon...

4) Do you think Jude "fits" with potential siblings Oliver Eli, Clara and Tobias Van? Yes, of course! Jude, Oliver, Clara and Tobias... lovely! Very nice sibset :-)

Thanks for your reply. I agree with you about Levi-when I first said it I wasn't sure if it fitted, but then the more I said it, the more it seemed to fit and I wasn't sure if it was just because I was getting used to it or because they went well together!
Your middle names suggestions are NMS, but thankyou for your suggestions any way!

1) I love the name Jude
2) Jude Levi is a very nice name, but Levi just isn't my style
3) Jude Bartholomew
4) Absolutely

Thankyou for your reply. Jude Bartholomew is nice, but does Bartholomew seem too long next to Jude as it is so short? Thankyou!
