New baby
Mate of a mate had a baby.

We were all invited round so the girls could coo over the little cutie. When I asked what they'd decided to call him, the proud new mum said "Jude". For some reason, my mouth said what I was thinking (I wasn't even drunk!) and I said "Oh my god! Why?"

I left soon after.

Exactly
They had to be told.

Hmm
It is a bit obscure.

Edit: come to think of it, a classmate of mine from university has a son called Jude. He (the father) was always a bit on the eccentric side, though.

It's a fucking stupid name anyway.
x 100, per year, for the next 80 years:

"Hey, Jude"

"What?"

"Don't be afraid"

No law against it.

Keeping things in proportion
"Jude" is pretty bad, but at least it's not one of the names which guarantee a hyperactive little shit, like "Luke", "Rhys" or "Conor".

Oi! I have one of them!
My better half's a teacher, so we were careful to avoid all the "this child has no future" names.

It may be a regional thing.
Like, I live in australia, and frankly most of the population has got names like that and most of the population has no future.
