Name for 26th January- Jude

English, Biblical:Variant of JUDAS. It is used in many English versions of the New Testament to denote the second apostle named Judas, in order to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot. He was supposedly the author of the Epistle of Jude. In the English-speaking world, Jude has occasionally been used as a given name since the Protestant Reformation (behindthename.com)

Hey, Jude Law, take your bow: You’ve erased old connections to Judasand Thomas Hardy‘s tragic Jude the Obscure, and inspired a legion of new baby Judes.Nicknames & Variations: JudsonJudasJud, Judsen, JuddJudah. (nameberry.com)

Commentary on the name Jude:This name has a pioneer style and a strong religious heritage that give it impressive gravity. It also has a zippy sound that keeps it unpretentious. The one other choice with that same style combo is Luke, a soaring hit name. Jude is an uncommon alternative with breakout potential. See also: Judah.From The Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg

Global Popularityof the Name Jude

  • #116 in Scotland
  • #131 in Canada (British Columbia)
  • #192 in Canada (Alberta)
  • #224 in United States
  • #409 in Canada (Quebec)

Name for 19th January- Harvey

English: From the Breton given name Haerviu, which meant “battle worthy”, from haer “battle” and viu “worthy”. This was the name of a 6th-century Breton hermit who is the patronsaint of the blind. It was introduced to England by settlers from Brittany after the Norman conquest. During the later Middle Ages it became rare, but it was revived in the 19th century. (behindthename.com)

Hard as it may be for many American parents to believe, this Normanname is enjoying a big style revival in England. And it just could happen here, though the film title Last Chance Harvey emphasized its middle-agedness.

Nicknames & Variations:
Harvie, Harvee, Hervey, Herve. (nameberry.com)

29 in England

103 in Scotland
