[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Levi[/name_m] is my favorite. So handsome.
Can’t decide -love them all-Sorry.
@lovemysweeties thanks for your thoughts!!
@cressida_cate haha that’s my problem!
I like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] best. [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is a bit dull to me and I never much liked [name_m]Levi[/name_m]. Also, [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is a short name so you can spare the middle name to be a bit longer.
I voted for [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], but [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Levi[/name_m] is also very handsome
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m] being a bit boring was what I was worried about too. I didn’t want to mention it and have it affect peoples’ choices based on names alone, but it is a family name. So I’m a bit torn. Thanks for your opinion!
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] has the best flow.
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is my favorite, it just seems to flow well and it is just so handsome!
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is a close second though, I just like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] a slight bit more.
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Levi[/name_m] just seems short and incomplete, a 1 syllable like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] needs something a bit longer in the middle to balance it out.
Good luck picking your middle, and a big thumbs up on the first name on my behalf!
Thanks for giving your thoughts on each name! [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is super handsome sounding I agree.
I second this. The others feel very, um, hipster. your combos are gorgeous, but I feel like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Levi[/name_m] is simple and sweet. [name_f]Happy[/name_f] naming!
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is gorgeous - classy, with a great dash of zest.
I hadn’t thought of them as hipster before. I could maybe see [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] in that kind of category but not [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]. Thanks for your input!
I like how you described this!
I like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] because of the the fact that [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is so short. My only issue with it is that they run into each other quite a lot when you say them - maybe consider something like [name_u]Jude[/name_u] Regulus (just an example) that places two consonants together and keeps the names distinct from each other? Or even Arcturus is a little ‘neater’ (that’s definitely not the right word but I can’t think of how to explain it)
That is a good point about [name_u]Jude[/name_u] ending with a vowel and [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] starting with a vowel as well. But I’ve literally gone through every boy name imaginable so I feel like it’s got to be one of these.
The votes are all so close!
Giving this a bump! I was hoping the poll would show a clearer winner!
I picked [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]. I feel that it has the best flow of of all the choices. [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] is hard to say quickly without slurring into “Joo-datticus” which (I think) does not sound too great. [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] sounds pleasant and you can say it slowly and quickly with great ease. [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Levi[/name_m] feels a little disjointed and uncoordinated.
I hope this helps!
I chose [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]! I think the two names flow really well and I love how the short and punchy [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is balanced out with a longer, familiar middle!
@roseofjune and @cellularconfusion thanks for explaining why you chose Matthew. It’s definitely helpful!
Thanks for everyone’s votes! Please let me know what you think of the names overall too!
