I need a middle name

Baby's first name will be Jude (not to follow a trend or anything)  as DH's mom's name was Judy and she died while we were in high school.  I figured this would be the best way to honor her.  BUT, I cannot come up with a good middle name for him so help, please Big Smile

We liked Bennett but it doesn't do a whole lot for me and we have realized that we can't use anything with a D or a vowel or the "D" sound on Jude gets lost...

So, suggestions, please.

Re: I need a middle name

  • Alexander, Emerson, Oliver

    ETA: oh wait, I think you said no vowels.  reading comprehension fail.

  • Jude Allan

    Jude Henry

    Jude Patrick

    Jude Robert

    Can you use DH's first name?  or another family name?

  • I immediately thought Michael or Matthew.

  • Jude Michael-I like this one too.

    Jude Alexander-I know it has the D in it, but I kind of like the ring to it..?

    Jude Henry-kind of old school middle name...

    That's all I've got...sorry, not much help.

  • My husband's name is Justin and he (disgustingly) goes by JJ so we want to avoid that :)

    Both our dads are Robert (his dad is Roberto) but we want to end the Robert love (I'm Robyn, brother Rob, his brother's middle name is Robert, you get the picture)

    I thought maybe Simon....I love Leo but it sounds short with Jude...

  • This was really hard for me with my Jude. Really hard.

    I'm partial to Patrick :) I also love the name Henry and think that sounds very good with it.

    Thomas? 

  • I really like Jude Michael and Jude Patrick.

    I think both of those sound fine.  Jude Simon sounds great!

    What about Jude Robyn?  I don't that sounds bad and it gets away from the Robert a bit....

    Simon was our boy name for Amelie. I think it's really fun. I think Jude Simon works really well together but I think Jude Henry is super awesome. Maybe it's because I super duper love Jude AND Henry.

     

     

    and your husband goes by JJ?

    GAWD YES..and it drives me nuts.  His name is Justin, his brother (14 months older) is Dustin...they hated being called twins growing up and the fact that their names rhyme (if Judy were alive, she would realize their mistake) so they go by Dusty and JJ now.  

    I loathe initials.

    We call often call DD by AJ. However, we will NOT be calling Ry "RJ". No thank you.

  • I love the way Jude Ryan sounds. Jude Lawrence sounds pretty cool, too. ;) Ruby would've been Henry if she were a boy and Jude Henry sounds good (but makes me think of john Henry ). What about grayson? Love that name. BTW, I'm totally offended you hate aj's name. J/k

    Ha! I just want my husband to go by an actual name, not initials (at 29 years old) :)

    I always thought you and Jess both had husbands by the name of Justin. I didn't know your husband went by JJ. What do you call him? JJ or Justin?

     

    And Judy, Judy, Judy. Justin and Dustin? Silly lady...

    I call him J at home, Justin in professional settings.  Yes, Judes did her boys a disservice.

    BUT, good news is the husband is leaning toward Samuel as baby Jude's middle name Big Smile No JJ Jrs here :)
