I've decided I like traditional names for boys. And girls, btw.
Michael is a very nice one.
So not true.Quote:

Judes and Juliens don't conjure up a manly image. Okay, how many guys on this board would like having either of those names? Be honest.
I feel like we have to save this kid from his parents before he tries to get his birth certificate altered!
Plus it's only a matter of time before someone starts chanting "Julia" on the playground. You can't do that with Michael or Jake.

honestly.....NOBODY cares what you think. Thank you. And what you said...as usual...makes no senseQuote:

My parents wanted to name my sister "Rita." To this day she feels she dodged a major bullet.
Or, are you suggesting "you" would like the name Julien or Jude for yourself or a kid of yours? Doubtful!

You couldn't call a kid named Michael "Michelle"?Quote:

BS. The song came out in 1968, before my time, and I know it.Quote:

It doesn't matter what Patti thinks. If Bedahd and Jules like the names, that is all that matters.
My kids know it.Quote:

He. Will. Not. Like. That. Name.
It doesn't matter what I personally think, as an individual, but you can bet other people are having the same reaction to "Julien/Jude."
I haven't seen any guys announce yet that they'd be happy with that name for themselves or a kid of theirs.
If women love it, that isn't necessarily a good sign.
Patti
It doesn't matter. We're in end times, remember? The odds of this kid reaching grade school are slim to none anyway.
