99.999% of those this child grows up with would not know wtf "Hey Jude" is anyway so that would not be an issue Miyagi

I've decided I like traditional names for boys. And girls, btw.
Michael is a very nice one.

So not true.Originally Posted by LtFinFan66
I mean, yes, if it were a hit by Bananarama.
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.

You're nuts. It doesn't matter that it's ME that's thinking it -- I'm the only one who has bothered to say what probably a lot of others are thinking. And have hinted at. It makes a LOT of sense.Originally Posted by LtFinFan66
I understand how parents go in a particular direction with names and get all taken with something or other, but don't think through the ramifications, or even how others may react to it.
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"?Originally Posted by Discotrish
or a Dan-DanielleOriginally Posted by RockStar36
Yes, but there will always be other kids with that name, so you can't be singled out.Originally Posted by RockStar36
For Julien/Jude, "The Cheese Stands Alone."

What's it like up there in your head?Originally Posted by Discotrish
If I named my kid Jade I would hope my son would beat the **** out of me when he was old enough.
BS. The song came out in 1968, before my time, and I know it.Originally Posted by LtFinFan66
It's a classic song. It'll go on to the next generation as well.
It doesn't matter what Patti thinks. If Bedahd and Jules like the names, that is all that matters.
My kids know it.Originally Posted by Mr. Miyagi

You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
True as that is, don't you think they'd like a little feedback about how other people might react to the name(s)?Originally Posted by shelby

A lot of people tiptoe around parents who get "attached" to less-than-appealing baby names. We don't want to offend them! And I don't particularly want to offend Bedard either.Originally Posted by shelby
It's really on the kid's behalf that I'm speaking up.
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.

It doesn't matter. We're in end times, remember? The odds of this kid reaching grade school are slim to none anyway.
