never thought i'd like it, but recently i've seen it in a new way. it's strong, and classic without ever having been so common (at least where i've lived). it would be dated to many people sure, but it'll make a comeback if you give it a few years.

i dislike Judy as a nickname though, and can't think of another nickname (except maybe Jude?cute)/can't expect to go without one for this name, so if i used it, it'd probably be as a mn.

wdyt? and do you like any of...

Adelaide Judith
Corinne Judith
Hazel Judith
Leona Judith
Rowan Judith
Vera Judith
Zoe Judith

...or would pair it with something else?

I'm not wild about Judith for personal reasons, however, it's heaps better than Judy. Re: Jude, it's actually growing on me.

Of your combos, I like Corinne Judith and Zoe Judith best. WDYT of Susanna Judith, Naomi Judith or Penelope Judith?

OOH i like all of those! especially Susanna Judith, since i've started to really like Susanna around the same time as Judith. and both names have a summery vibe to me (which Penelope Judith also keeps well). ideally though i'd pair Judith with something not similarly popular in the same time period, so Naomi Judith and Penelope Judith work well in that.

Susanna definitely has a summery vibe to me as well. I imagine the combo Susanna Joy as being pure sunshine/a bright yellow which is funny because I've never associated names with colors before.

I had a very brief period a couple years back where I liked "strong" feminine names - names with a harder sound than what I usually gravitate toward. During this brief period, Judith Autumn was a combo in my Top 10. Again, that was a brief period, so I'm no longer a fan of Judith and can't really come up with any other combos - but I still like Magdala...

i love Judith Autumn...Judith is a very warm-colors name to me so Autumn fits so well. i'd like Autumn a lot more actually, even enough to use as a first name, if not literally for a stupid comment someone made about it once that i can't get out of my head.

Judith is definitely one of my top 5 names. Hubby doesn't like it though, so I've had to rule it out. I'd love to see it used! I like the nickname Judy, but if you don't, Jude works too. Or if you wanted a silly family one, Ditty would be kind of neat.

From your list I like Adelaide Judith, Corinne Judith, Hazel Judith and Leona Judith.

Adelaide Judith might be my favorite from your list. Your last name could make a difference in the flow though. I have a cousin named Judith.

Not a fan.

A friend's sister is named Evelyn Judith.
