MALE contestant..
Maybe they think if Jude can be a guy's name, so can Judy
Maybe they think Jude is pronouced as Ju-De
And they decided to spell differently as Judy

hmm.. could be...
coz lots of people add "..ie" to their names... even after shortening it..
Jude became Judy... (was the case in my uni hostel)
Adrian Monkhorst became... Monky (i'm not kidding.. he was an AFL player)
Julian became Julie...

best part is ... remember most of these names were self-inflicted later on in life ...
but the champs have got to be the germans ... I read this hilarious article about german surnames years ago in the straits times .... but as painful they are in german ... most of them still refuse to change their last names .....
"why should I change it, it's my name" said Herr Bratenschwein ( Mr Roast Pig) ... ![]()

esq = esquire
denotes a person who is ranked below the knight.. usually the people assisting the knight (the squires).. the social status of a person.. mostly the gentry...
these days, used loosely.. but can also used after a name to denote "licensed attorney" in the US...
Originally posted by bluejuice:huh? short form of richard is dick!?!?
correct.. richard shortened is dick.. Richard Nixon is often referred to as "Tricky Dick"
pity the poor sap who was named Richard Head... and was referred to as Dick... ![]()
a few other shortened names also do not resemble their long name.. sort of like the shortened name for "Margaret" is "Peggy"
