When you’re about to have a baby, it can feel like your world’s been turned upside down–in a good way.
Suddenly you’re faced with these huge to-do lists and all sorts of questions. Where will your baby sleep? What will your baby wear? What will you name your baby?
A name is a pretty big deal (and has a large impact on how people view a person, believe it or not!), it’s plain to see why so many people search Google for hours, trying to find the perfect first name for their babies.
But, when you spend all of your time looking for a first name, you might run out of steam before you find a great middle name.
That’s why I’ve been putting together my How To Pick A Middle Name series. So with a quick glance, you can find the perfect middle name for your son!
Without any further ado, here are the best middle names for a boy named Jude.
I’ve compiled these from baby name databases, parent discussion forums, and other sources then whittled them down to the ones I personally think sound the best.
Hope it helps!

Meaning of the name Jude
According to BabyCenter, Jude is a name of Hebrew origin, meaning “praise” or “praised.”
It can be used as both a boy’s name and a girl’s name, although it’s more commonly given to boys.
The name Jude is number 162 on the popularity list for boy names for 2021, moving down 26 spaces since 2020.
It’s a good option for parents wishing to use a more gender-neutral name for their child. It was also made popular by the famous song by the Beatles, Hey, Jude.
Some famous Judes are actor (David) Jude Heyworth Law and soccer player Jude Victor William Bellingham.
