Judy

I understand Judy as a nickname for Judith, but not as a name in its own right.

My name is Judy. Growing up I hated my name. I felt it was old school. As I have gotten older, I realize the name is now unique and refreshing. It's a name parents can now start another generation with to ensure the name continues. Judy means praised.

Judy isn't a bad name. It's cute. Judith would be nice as a full name, but, Judy isn't bad alone.

I'm Judith but have always gone by Judy. I really like my name even though it is not in popular use anymore.

Even though this name is too childish, I still like it!

Sounds adorable, right? A good nickname for Judith, though as a standalone name it's not bad either. Truth is, I don't hear it often, it seems to be one of those old-fashioned names that haven't made a comeback, even though I'm seeing in the comments that people like it. I hope to hear it more often in the future!

One of my favorite names! It's short, sweet, and beautiful, though I wouldn't use it.

This is my nickname and I love it! FYI, I am 21 years old!

The green banner helps with the Wizard of Oz vibes. The Emerald City? Also, Judy Garland played Dorothy Gale, the main character in the Wizard of Oz. Judy Garland died in 1969. I wouldn't use this name, but I like its association.

I wouldn’t name a child this I would just name her Judith and call her Judy- better off as a nickname.

Makes me think of Judge Judy on the people's court, so definitely makes me picture a grumpy, bitchy older woman.
Not a fan...

Nowhere near as popular as it once was, the name Judy was only given to 120 baby girls born in the US in 2012.

Fantastic! Very classy in sound. Especially if used as a diminutive for "Judith," or a similar name.

Although this name was cute on Judy Garland it reminds me of Punch and Judy - The Punch and Judy show. I think they were puppets and as a child I didn't like puppet shows.

All I can hear in my head is Carey Grant saying, "Judy, Judy, Judy."

I think it's a little old fashioned and I had a cat named Judy so I can't really picture it on a person too much.

I think is a cute little girl's name.
