What name do you like alot and am sad that you can't use because of other's perceptions/how much they would get teased/etc?

I LOVE Judas...I'm not religious and I don't know the whole story, but I know I can't name a son Judas when I live in Bible Belt, USA. :( But it's just so gorgeous and speaks volumes to me.

I don't think very many people will make that connection. Most people know that it is a Biblical name, and it's VERY different from Judas.

I know 2 children names Judah and the families are Bible-believing Christ-followers.

I agree - Judah hasn't gained those connotations, although Judas is just the Greek form of the Hebrew name!

I'm not a fan of the name, but the Judas thing isn't the reason. And people who think it's a girls name are just ignorant, and you'll always have plenty of those around :(
