I'm not a Judy fan (obviously) and I do find it dated. Having said that, I do think Judith (with or w/o a nick) definitely could work today. There was a Judith/Judy at our pool several years ago. She's about 13 now. Her family has moved to Sweden and believe it or not, I have wondered once or twice how the Swedes have embraced her name! I wonder if older names are all the rage there as well.

I visited an interesting website several years ago where people give their impressions of certain names. The general consensus of Judy was that of a secretary yet Judith was viewed as either an attorney or a college professor.

---

And yes, Jude could absolutely work as a nick for Judith/Judy.

I like Judy, but not as a name by itself. It's a lovely spunky nickname for Judith or Jerusha.

Judy was my Aunt Lola's nn. :o) I hope it does make a comeback, as it is a refreshing change from all of the tryndee names with their modern spyllyngks. :o> I'm not so fond of Judith for some reason, but I think Judy can stand as a full name just fine. And on a personal note, glad to see you're posting again...sorry for the trolls. *rolls eyes* Isn't there a way to vaporize them?

I like Judith without a nn.

I like it

---

but I don't quite love it. A friend of mine recently told me that Judith nn Judy would be her first choice for naming a girl, if she were to ever have one someday.

---

I'm really getting into the name Edith, possibly nn Edie, which is along similar lines. I think it's sweet.

I love Judy, and Judith. Would've considered using it if not for the Biblical associations - I'd feel like a hypocrite using a bible name. Silly though that may be.

I personally like Judy as a nickname but I am actually surprised it hasnt made a comeback,nicknamey names are becoming quite a trend where I live and Judy is quite a sweet sounding name similar to Jodie Jodi both of which I have seen in under fives in my area
I have only know one girl under eighteen called Judy she is about fifteen now I think
I can recall several Judiths and Judys of around my age

I work with a Judy

She's a lovely person. She colors my perception of the name, of course, but I agree with you. I do think it's time for Judy to come back. :-)

I like it, but only as a nickname for Judith.

Like it, but only as a nn for Judith (which I really like). Judy seems a bit too nickname-y on it's own, IMO.

Im not very fond of it. I dont think its very fresh. I think it is very dated.

I like the name Judy as a nn for either Judith or Jerusha. You're absolutely right about it being incredibly fresh. It's about time Judy came back. :-)

Seems a little dated.. but okay I can see that.
