I think Judy is cute. I’m a teacher and I’ve never taught a Judy or Judith, but I think it’s ready for a comeback.

I love it but I’d do (either) as a middle name

I'd use Judith as a middle name.

OP just be careful. I loved my MIL before my first was born too. After the baby came our relationship became very strained for a variety of reasons. Motherhood really changes everything; just be forewarned.

Nickname Juju

I agree. I think these types of names are going to be making a comeback. It’s going to be weird for older generations to start hearing these names again but I think they will come back around. My mom is a boomer and these sound like the names of her friends.

OP, I think it’s so sweet and either name is really cute.

I absolutely adore it! I find it charming and timeless. I am genuinely surprised that it’s not more widely appreciated. I would be thrilled to meet a little Judy!

Such an ugly name - both versions are awful. Just use the letter J (and don't pick Juliet) to honor her.

That’s older than boomer. Greatest Gen and Silent

Too old-fashioned

If all of a sudden there are a bunch of baby girl names like Diane, Linda, Judy, and Barbara, I'm here for it.

That is ridiculous.

I recently discovered that we are expecting a baby girl! My mother-in-law is an absolute angel, and I would love to surprise her by naming our daughter after her. Her full name is Judith, but she never goes by that. Do you think Judy is too old-fashioned? If we decide to honor my mother-in-law, should we go with Judith and use Judy as a nickname, or simply give it to her as a middle name?
