Jude on a girl

BeenThere22

Alexis Stewart, Martha's daughter, named her new baby girl JUDE. Why??

Oh man!!! This is one of those names I really, really feel should be reserved for boys. Girls already have Judy and Judith!

Stupid.  Leave it for the boys, please.

By the way, that picture of your little boy Apollo makes me want a newborn immediately!

Growing up, I knew a girl named Jude.  I didn't like it for a girl then either.

I can't get past Martha Stewart naming her daughter Alexis.

Just terrible.

I wouldn't mind it as a nn for Judith, but not as a given name for a girl.

I like unisex names, but I don't see this as a unisex name at all.

I think that's the issue. It's "close enough" to a girl's name to sound "feminine" to some people. Hence... another one bites the dust. 

 

Soon the only boy names that will be left will be REALLY manly names, like Trucker and Steel.

I'm so tired of boys names being co-opted for girls! When will it stop? There will be no names for boy left pretty soon. Ok, that was dramatic but Jude is one of the names I'm considering.

Hate it. I am not completely anti-originally male names-on girls- but this is awful.

I want parents to stop using all the good boy names on girls!  DH and I have decided that our first son will be Jude, and I don't want it to be a girl name by then.

One of the moms on the May board (I think that's where I saw the signature) is naming her daughter Micah Jude.  Sigh.  What names will still be considered masculine in a decade or two?

I'm guessing I am the only one here who doesn't mind it. Camille Grammer's daughter is also Jude. But then again, I also love Elliott for a girl.

I think that name is meant for a boy in my opinion.

Noooo!!!!! Not for a girl.

I'm really not a fan of Jude on a girl at all. And I like boys names for girls. I think Camille's daughter's name is actually Mason - which IMO is horrible horrible horrible on a girl!

I've seen Logan Jude. Didn't know it was a girl, at first.
