I quite like them both. I fought a bit for Judith before we decided on this baby's name, but everyone thought it too dated. I think it's rather retro-chic myself.

Jude is a fantastic nick for it, though I do like Judy and Ditta as well.

Gretel is so cumbersome it's cool I think. I happen to really like Greta, which is a bit more modern and modish sounding, but Gretel brings both the fairytale vibe AND the dusty old gem vibe. It's more solid than Greta, as seems to happen with variations that do not end in a.

I would love to meet a youngster with either of these names, though I personally couldn't pull off Gretel I think.
