HelpRe: Jude for a girl
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
Can’t I say the same thing for whatever name you like? “Why would you call a girl ____? There are thousands of great names; why ____?” It’s a matter of personal taste, why put someone else’s down? It’s one thing to say you don’t like it, it’s another to bash me for my personal taste in names!

Of course, you can ask me why I like a name and what made me choose it! Why is a useful question and you should never be afraid to ask yourself and others about the thoughts/beliefs/motivations behind an action or preference. People have asked why I do or don’t like a name or trend on this site on multiple occasions, and they may or may not agree with my reasoning or taste.
I have asked people’s opinions on names before, and sometimes people do not like the same names I do, but I appreciate the honest feedback and the opportunity to hear opinions expressed that are different from my own. If I ever post a name you dislike, please let me know what you think and why you feel that way. Other people may feel the same way you do, and I post to find out how other people perceive names. I cannot promise to alter my views based on yours, but I am interested in name opinions.
Just because I question the use of Jude on a girl, I am not bashing all the other names you like, your preference in general, or you personally.

I appreciate the kind response. I guess I just see the “why this name when there’s so many beautiful names…” argument as useless and doesn’t really contribute in a helpful way, as it could be asked about any name. And the answers always the same; because I personally like it! I encourage everyone to leave their honest opinions— good or bad— on my posts, this particular question just irks me to be honest.
