I also don't like it... but then again, love the person, (usually) love the name. Even the most unusual names can become trendy depending on the person wearing it.

My niece is Yehudit but she's called Yudit. She lives in Israel. I think it's more common in Israeli circles, so if that's where you are and you like it, go for it!

I really don't like the name at all. Grates on my ears.

It's like the name Aharon - where people spell it Aron - I know lots of kids named Aron in England. Pronouncing Aharon as Aron is only natural - it slides off the tongue better, but to actually name them Aron, it's like calling them a cupboard! |
Funny because I have a little Ahron, and haven't quite decided how it should be spelled in English.
Was leaning toward Ahron, a compromise between Aron and Aharon maybe?

It can't be Yiddish, because then it would be Yudis with an 's' at the end not a 't'. |
BTW... I think the Yiddish version of this mispronunciation is Yiddis/Yiddes, which is so much worse...

Not if you're a Litvak. Then it would be pronounced Yoodis, rhymes with "goodness" if you left out the n, not Yiddis.
I'm not fond of Yiddish names bichlal, and even less when they're corruptions of Hebrew names. But I do like the name when pronounced Yehudit. What's wrong with a "strong" name? Don't we want our daughters to grow up strong? Not that we expect them to be decapitating anyone--let's hope the need never arises--but why wouldn't you want to name a girl for a Jewish heroine? And I would love to think that if it G-d forbid became necessary, our daughters would find the strength to decapitate someone, or drive a tent peg through his temple, or whatever the modern-day equivalent is.

I know an older woman with that name. She is not American. It is not an American pronunciation so you will not hear the name Yehudit pronounced like that here too often. I like the name Yehudis very much but if you want an Israeli pronunciation then it would be Yehudit.

My name is Yehudit and (the last syllable is stressed, and pronounced 'deet') and I love my name. I get compliments on it all the time. It's strong, feminine and very Jewish 
Btw, not a derivative of Yehuda. Completely different name and origin.

I love Yiddish names, and find the Hebrew derivations fascinating. Yidis sounds better than Yehudit. non jews are less mean about Yiddish names than "moderners".

That's very interesting to hear. Do you mind sharing the origin? Thanks
